It all stems from the combination of two things: a standard of living unparalleled in modern times (if not all history) and a failure to impress upon the youth (from the boomers on) how blessed (yes blessed, not lucky, not fortunate) they are to be living in this era compared to what preceded it.

I do mainly blame liberals for this, since they have successfully infiltrated the public schools, the popular culture and many legislative bodies to ensure that “if it feels good, do it” took the place of what used to be known as common sense.

Too far into the cell phone to learn how to talk and interact with other people. Or too far from the real world around them.

Probably the only way any sort of sustained civil unrest happens now would be to make peoples smart phones stop working. We are the most passively entertained people ever. What happens if it stops?

The poorest are now the most likely to be obese, while everyone else is generally heavier, with the most well-off generally being the most fit. Something that has never happened before. It’s hard for me to imagine any sustained civil unrest occurring while this is the case.
