Riots and social unrest are nothing new to America.

Cincinnati,Ohio alone had 5 riots between 1829 and 1855, all 5 of them along racial and ethnic lines.

He is certainly right on that.

The majority of people's behavior has gotten shameless and disguesting in the last decade.

Some of the most violent cities in the world. Much of the nation is very safe statistically, but there hundreds of cities and towns that have some of the world's worst crime rates.

A majority of cities that either have strotospheric income disparities full of Marie Antionette's and desperation or are half abandoned.

There are nice areas in this country that are wonderful but much of this country is rotting morally, economically, socially.

Third-world counties are able to protect their citizens health far better then this nation which they shut down for months and then decided to go back to business as usual even though the pandemic numbers hardly changed.

This country is certainly unraveling.

The last three months, America has showcased that it is a declining, corrupt, immoral nation that will be third-world status possibly soon.
Indeed. I have many friends globally who just shake their heads and are constantly asking what in the world is going on over here.

Riots in the 21st century seem much worse than they are because of social media and 24 hour news coverage.

Like I said, this stuff is nothing new. Riots have been occurring in America in large amounts going back to when America became a country.

I noticed, in the middle link, that the 1950s had the least riots/social unrests dating back to the 1700s! Another plus for the 1950s!

Once again, that is an opinion, not a fact.

My personal favourite riots are the 1743 Gin Riots in London which were the result of thr government imposing a higher taxes on gin, something which was deeplyunpopular with the working-classes.

The endgame of the top one percent being the top one percent. Keep bailing out the bad apples and watch the bad apples become disruptive, at the top and the bottom.

Lol.....a riot in China is a cry and scream for freedom and against oppression that needs to be supported by the CIA and NGOs to overthrow the Chinese government. The exact same riot in America is the work of terrorists and need to be crushed! MAGA (sure LOL) !
