Makes me think about how cynicism pervades online communities and media. Seems like a lot of people can't get themselves to hope. People need hope to accomplish anything.

People are becoming less and less able to be rationalized with.

A lot of valid triggers have put us here. Housing. Inflation. Income inequality. Identity politics. But it's gotten to the point where people are frothing at the mouth. Daily I see a comment about "eat the rich" and anecdotally they're getting more and more aggressive.

We are tipping toward bloodshed unless things change drastically soon which I doubt will happen.
