My pet theory is a knock on history of reverberating PTS, people pander to the need for a calmed environment suitable for survivors with PTS which creates a vacuum for biggest emotions wins and other low boundaries behavior, gambling/internet addiction.

USA has no issues with courage.

We have individual resistance to police state actions all the time.

We have other issues, but individualism and people willing to go to bat for enlightenment principles is not one of them.
