Yes, I am aware of human nature and people being people wherever you go. But so many of the issues that I have the most problem with are very strong here. The type of pointless violence shown here is just one of those. Refusal to provide adequate health care and support for citizens, backwards attitudes on human rights, the wealthiest having carte blanche to do whatever they want to whomever they want and getting away with it nearly all of the time... Sure there are countries worse than the US in these regards. But there are better as well. And living in this mire and muck, feeling like all your fighting is just slowing down your inevitable demise at the hands of a system that is not uncaring, but actively trying to destroy you bit by bit so that people can profit just that slightest bit more... It's wearying.
