An Obituary for the FBI

It feels like the only way out of this is some massive long lived catastrophe that is unignorable. Like way beyond 9/11. Great depression or world war 3?

I took this class on Trauma, and I remember the thing that stuck with me the most was a quote in the syllabus about how war focuses people, and gives them something external to focus on.

Apparently this is a pretty broad idea, so much so someone wrote a book on it?

Are there any examples in history of cultures being so divided and coming back together in organic ways? I guess my own argument has been that we were probably similarly or even more divided during the 1960's so maybe that answers my own question?

Though it feels like it has a different quality to it now. Maybe somehow less extreme but much deeper?
