America Is Being Absolutely Ripped Apart

 America Is Being Absolutely Ripped Apart By Hate, and The End Result Will Be Unparalleled Chaos In Our Streets – Michael Snyder - https://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/america-is-being-absolutely-ripped-apart-by-hate-and-the-end-result-will-be-unparalleled-chaos-in-our-streets/ The way that people are responding to the latest attempt to assassinate Donald Trump says a lot about where we are as a nation. There was a time when something like this would have been consideredan attack on all of us. But today things are completely different. Many on the left are doing their best to downplay what just happened because it might help Trump get more votes. And just like last time, there are some that truly wish that he had been killed. Theyhave worked themselves up into such a frenzy of hatred that they are actually hoping for the death of their political opponents. Of course the same thing is true for some people on the right as well. There was so much hate for Joe Biden when he was the Democratic nominee, and now there seems to be even more hate forKamala Harris. This is not the way to achieve anything. We will never win by hating our enemies. We win by loving our enemies and using the truth to persuade them to come over to our side. If people perceive that you hate them, they will be extremely unlikely to listen to what you have to say. But if people perceive that you love them, they will be much more likely to listen to what you have to say. To love someone does not mean that you agree with them. Personally, I fundamentally disagree with almost everything that our politicians do, and I express my opinions very strongly. But I am not against anyone. Ultimately, I want the best for everyone and for our society as a whole. If we do not learn how to love one another, we simply aren’t going to make it as a society. Today, there are millions upon millions of Americans that deeply hate entire groups of people forone reason or another. I have never seen so much hatred, and this is the most divided that our nation has been in my entire lifetime. Where do you think that all of this hatred is going to get us? Everyone can see that this election is going to end very badly. If we stay on the path that we are on, it is just a matter of time before we see uncontrolled chaos in our streets. Is that what you want? I sure don’t. One of the reasons why I write the way that I do is so that people will wake up and choose to change direction before it is too late. Because right now America is on a road that only leads to disaster. We are being fed a constant diet of hatred, and just look at what this has done to our society. According to one recent survey, 41 percent of Americans are currently experiencing “peak stress”… In a year marked by financial worries and political tension, a new survey has uncovered the staggering impact of stress on everyday Americans. The average person feels their head “spinning” from stress a whopping 156 times per year, translating to about three times a week. This alarming statistic is just one of many eye-opening findings from a recent study conducted by Talker Research for Traditional Medicinals. The survey, which polled 2,000 adults, also foundthat 41% of respondents are currently experiencing their peak stress levels for the year. That is almost half the country! Another recent survey discovered that the percentage of Americans that have been clinically diagnosed with depression at some point in their lives is at the highest level ever… According to survey data, three in ten people in the United States had been clinically diagnosed with depression at a point in their lives in 2023. As Statista’s Anna Fleck points out in the chart below, this is the highest rate since the question started being asked, up 10.6 percentage points from 2015. The rate of increase was particularlysteep in the first year of the pandemic, jumping up from 22.9 percent in 2020 to 28.6 percent in 2021. Sadly, levels of depression are especially high among women and among young people… According to the survey, 36.7 percent of women report having been diagnosed with depression in their lifetimes versus 20.4 percent of men. For young people aged 18-29, 34.3 percent had beendiagnosed with depression, while for 30-44 year olds it was 34.9 percent. If we keep going down this path, our mental health is only going to get worse. At this stage, even many of our children are really struggling… A recent study from the University of Michigan Health C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital has uncovered an often-overlooked aspect of childhood development, finding a surprising number of childrenstruggle to make friends. In fact, the poll finds one in five parents fear their children currently have no friends at all. Imagine being a kid without a buddy to share your favorite video game with or someone to sit next to on the school bus. It’s a reality for more children than we might think. The poll of 1,031parents with kids between six and 12 years-old reveals that 20% of kids potentially feel lonely or isolated during crucial years of social development. I could go on and on about what a giant mess our society has become. Needless to say, hating people is not the way out of this mess. There are a lot of people out there that seem to believe that if they are going to be truly radical for a cause they must have someone to hate. No. If you want to be truly radical, become a person of great love. Of course a person of great love tells the truth, and when you share the truth with others you will often be hated for it. But if you respond with hate when others hate you, you will never win. It is so easy to get pulled into all of the negativity that we see online and in the mainstream media these days. Often, those that are the most filled with hate are the ones that get the most attention. We must resist that temptation. If we keep going the same direction that we have been going, there is no future for our country. Love is the answer, but right now hatred just continues to grow all around us.
