We were screwed the moment Trump was elected. This is just the culmination of that.

We are not as screwed though. The American people are resilient if not stubborn.

I strongly believe that America deserves everything happening to us through all this.

Nations all around the world despise us for our bigotry. Its even spawned extremist groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS. People in most European nations find Americans as rude and obnoxious.

Its built into the DNA of the USA. Until radical change happens to this country, I dont see this unrest stopping anytime soon.

Let it happen two generations after this, I'm too busy buying new consumer electronics from massive corporations to care about the state of the world.

Our bigotry spawned Al Qaeda and ISIS...? Care to explain that?

Europe finds us rude and obnoxious huh? They like those tourist bucks and the trade though. They like the fact we keep them safe and beat the shit out of Nazis, communists, and terrorists though. Dont they? You realize how many countries we helped rebuild after ww2? What do you think the commies would have done to Europe if we werent around?

We fed weapons to resistance groups in the 80s and those same groups went on to become Al Qaeda and ISIS and other terrorist groups

The country has been like this for a very long time now. It's nothing new.

For a vast majority of people, life is really kind of normal tbh.

That isn't race-related, that was political shifting. Al-Qaeda in particular spawned when the US rescinded support following the Soviet Union's move on Afghanistan. We supplied them with weapons and support but then pulled out before actually helping in any way (such is my understanding; it was basically sticking it to the Soviet Union with no consideration that the people whom we were supplying could use our assistance for their own sake). That sentiment seeded an anti-western mindset in those left with having to fight that battle on their own, which resulted in radicalization and desire to punish western society.

Don't see how it could be. While it's a major social and power structure issue, the issue with police corruption is a minor issue in a relative sense to population size.

Of course it'll be moot by that point since we're about one week from the Floyd riot wave to end its incubation period. In three months we won't have a population anyway.
