@sickburnbro @Witch_Hunter_Siegfired Which is why I personally don't see internal resolution (revolution) in our lifetime. We are effectively blocked at the source, and have been since the 80s when militias were infiltrated and murdered.
Either the pain of action exceeds the pain of inaction, or external powers force our govts hand off the accelerator. Seeing as guys are willing to live alone in tiny studio apartments subsisting on ramen, the pain to be endured is basically indefinite, so I'm putting all my clout chips on Russia/China to make the opening move.
