I think this is a testament to how close the US is to losing its place of power in the world. People don't believe in the country, they don't want to risk their lives defending it, because they think going into the military is the same as signing your life away to a corporation. Of course, the US might be on the verge of a civil war, if it happens in February or November or January, regardless people are tired of what "democracy" has given them.

You know, I remember maybe a decade ago, maybe more recently I can't quite remember, there was this idea out of the Incel community that was treated as ridiculous at the time: that the state should force men and women into couples to make families, so that nobody would be alone. And as terrible as that sounds, it sounds like a better social model than what America has today, and is probably why states that are closer in form to that model (far-right islamic nationalist) are gaining so much power. It just shows how terrible things have gotten because there used to be real sexual freedom, alongside social mobility and an egalitarian society, but no longer, and people are so dissatisfied they'd be willing to allow a dictator to come to power.
