The recent problems in the US have highlighted that the people of the United States are not united at all.

The division is artificial and deliberately inculcated imho. (Divide and conquer)
In my travels through the world, I have found most people to be more or less the same irrespective of creed, colour or religion. What distinguishes them is the prevailing political establishment which is invariably a product of the narrative set by the influence pedlars in the main stream media in that region. And so; a culture is often defined in a boardroom somewhere, for someone else's convenience (read - profit)
And for those tax franchises that have the temerity to resist hegemony?
Well, some pretext is made to manufacture our consent and AK47's are put in to the hands of thugs, drug lords and mercenary terrorists... call them free-dumb fighters or moderate rebels and it becomes a noble cause... freedom, human rights and democracy is the cry! Do we even recognise that the bodies and failed states piling up in the rear view mirror might just be growing faster than you can drive?
Consider Pakistan for a moment...
This seldom gets traction in the main stream media (unless there's a cricket match on) but that country is sliding in to chaos, radicalisation and outright civil war. It has long had a policy of creating and using jihadist groups as instruments to pursue its geopolitical interests. Many of those individuals have turned against the state. To give you a sense of scale, this shows the extent of terrorist activity in the region:

The drone strikes are in red... the number of innocent civilians killed from these strikes number in the thousands, children in the hundreds.
If it were your family in the rubble, how would you react?
There are now radicalised elements within the military who's sympathies no longer lie with the establishment. Does it get much more dangerous than a radicalised civil war in a failed state with nuclear weapons?
There is a good case to be made that the United States itself is a failed or failing state. It's population has been hugely damaged by its own permanent war (for profit) industry - capitalism at its finest! Since WW2, no less than 40 countries have been targeted and the death toll (globally) is somewhere between 20 to 50 million! ... The damage bill in the tens of trillions.
But it is not the American people driving this. The military industrialists in league with their foreign interest lobby groups (AIPAC), their mercenary proxies, banksters, Wall st criminals, political puppets, media and intellectual allies have greatly enlarged poverty and civil conflict, sabotaged the public services and social infrastructure of the country and driven it to the point of insolvency.
The wealth of the nation (and that of future generations) is drained into the war system and into the bank accounts of a small minority of greed driven psychopaths, who, are aggressively striving to go beyond mere excess. They want to go back to the feudal system with their boot on your neck.
And what stands between them now, and achieving the dream of Bolshevism two point oh?
Incidentally... just for fits and giggles... google:
'Kuhn Loeb bank funded bolsheviks'
Then google:
'Red Terror'
Funny how your history classes didn't include those two little nuggets, hey?
Biggest holocaust of the last century.... (over 60 million dead) funded by Wall street. Yeah, we'll just skip that bit.
Enjoy your weekend,
