We're WEIRD. Get over it.

Like I said, we are still being relatively nice and still content with leaving nature to determine the coarse. You don't seem to realize that you have chosen to be on the wrong side of history which is fine with me. Your senators are supposed to be wiser than they seem these days.

The rural, racist, cavalier culture has generally been on the wrong side of history. Not that they have not contributed much, but the tribal bit has constantly been confronted and beat down some each time it rises. I expect some major changes to violent racist policing once the Republicans are less in the way, and more fracturing of class ceilings and an attack on the division of wealth. I don't expect this will be the last confrontation we have with privilege and prejudice. The cycles will continue, but I am hoping for a few good turnings.

I do agree that the militias and people of the middle have generally remained non violent save for a few like the Proud Boys. I strongly suspect not only that they will accept the change but that many are helping to drive it. COVID and racial violent policing are issues that have to be addressed. Those addicted to Trump don't want to see it. Selfishness remains strong against the need to unite for the sake of America as a whole, to confront the crisis problems. Trump catching the bug seems only to be making it clearer.
