This affected world-weariness about the tragedy of human nature is a form of ahistorical cope we learn to avoid the pain of acknowledging the amazing progress happening elsewhere while we in the empire are made to wallow in decay. If you point me to any specific problem whatsoever, I will happily trace how the US Cult of Capital either caused it or is making it worse.
