Warring factions are also outside of the cities. Gangs and violence aren't just a big city problem anymore.

Dalton, GA. Small city in northern Georgia. Carpet capital of the world. It has alot of gangs.

College Park, GA is a suburb of Atlanta. It's MORE dangerous than Atlanta. You can say "whatever" all you want, but crime has been bleeding into some suburban areas.

They also have the pleasure of creating their governments and infrastructure post WWII with the USA paying the cost of establishing them. Add to that a none-diverse population, a culture of obeying authority and a tax obligation that most Americans would say hell no to and you can see why we will never be like them.

College Park is a suburb of Atlanta whether you want to believe it or not. I used to live in the Atlanta metro area. It is its own separate city. Crime is also bleeding out into places like Douglasville and McDonough.

And, in the wake of it, comes new and much larger seething resentments that were insignificant or non-existent just a few years ago.

I'd bet that racism today as a percentage of individuals is 10 times....conservatively....what it was in 1985.

The Neanderthal left does it because they can....because we let them. Looking the other way for 2 generations, wringing our hands in search of more ways to appease, is just a slower version of shooting our collective selves in the head.

I have no sympathy for violent thugs, and I wish they would all just die. And, yes, they might be victims of their genetics, upbringing and environment, but they still do have choices as to whether they riot and/or kill/injure/harm others.
Problem there is that people would become even more miserable than they already are, and many would flee those cities and infect other regions with their insane politics. They never seem to make the connection between their politics and policies and the degrading conditions in the cities they ultimately flee, so they vote for the same old crap in the new areas they move to.

Doctor/nurse can't be any fun either these days. The only really good jobs today are "petty dictator". Usually a politician but could be a Manager.
