What we are seeing is a degradation of societal norms and rules. Movements like defund the police and open borders have not resulted in making us safer but instead have made us decidedly unsafe. And heaven forbid you are armed and try defending yourself with your weapon, you most likely will end up on the wrong side of the law. And you don't even have to use a weapon - ask Chauvin and Penny. It's no wonder why no one wants to be a cop! Like we saw in Gilford, cops just doing their job had to be investigated and then exonerated much to the chagrin of a vocal minority.
The guardrails that make society safe and work are being systematically removed. We have only ourselves to blame.

Our society has always been this way, it's just that we are more exposed to information overload now. Of course, population growth has contributed to the growing problems.
Years ago, we only got our news from somewhat respected news outlets that were held accountable for misinformation but there were always things that happened that we didn't hear about until years later.
Today we are bombarded with misinformation all day every day, fake pictures, and articles written by anyone and everyone just to get clicks on a website. It's only going to get worse with the proliferation of AI.
If you don't think our enemies are contributing to this misinformation, you are living under a rock.
