Charottesville riots are not unlike the Wakarusa war which helped bring on the American civil war.

PS.
You seem to mistake wealth with greatness.

Wealth only has a limited role in happiness.

America has many issues too.

The USA has its issues too.
Lik
Homelessness, drug abuse, single mothers, gangs & a high rate of crime, murder & mass murder & war mongering.

Except both sides of the Charlottesville riots are seen as losers not political mainstream. Extremists can be dangerous if 98% if the rest of the country doesn't think they are buttholes

The point is Americans live pretty good lives and they don't want to leave the comfort of that for the hardship of War. I don't think there's anything people feel that strongly about.

A few riots by nutjobs doesn't equate to a civil war.

Catholics aren't treated that well here.

Catholic Priests mocked as pedos, Catholic Italians called mafiosos, Catholic Poles called dumb Polak, Catholic French mocked as cowards.
Catholic Latinos mocked too.

Catholic priests are pedos. And the Popes protect them.

Those ethnic groups are mocked because they're white, not because they're Catholic. Italians being mobsters, Poles being dumb, the French being cowards, those are all ethnic stereotypes. And the reason they're not considered racist is because they're white groups.

Agreed about "losers not political mainstream". Additionally, only one person was killed in a single act of violence. They were more demonstrations, not riots.

Also readily agreed about "Americans live pretty good lives and they don't want to leave the comfort of that for the hardship of War". Poor in other nations means people living in huts without access to clean water, much less sanitation, on the edge of starvation and in danger of being murdered by lawless gangs. In the US being poor means they have to take a bus to collect their welfare check, have a roof over their heads, a color television and so much junk food they're fat.

It would take a lot to convince people to go to war. Like a drastic reduction in comfort and security. I remember hurricane Ike hit Houston and power was out for three weeks and it was miserable. War is hardship unlike anything people these days have ever encountered. Perhaps in a few decades we will get there but I doubt it.

Just like all atheists are pedos? Isn't "atheist" code for "satanist". What other blind bigotry can we share here?

Agreed. For people to be willing to go to war means they are desperate and have nothing to lose.

2-4% if Catholic priests are pedos.
3-5% of the general population are pedos.

Because Americans don't do war?

When you grow up, kid, and mature into a man, perhaps you'll understand the difference between a nation declaring war on another nation and a nation where its citizens erupt into civil war.

It's pretty bad.
A sizeable number of Americans hate the other party.
W. Bush, Obama & far more so Trump have caused huge rifts & hatred among Dems vs Repubs.

Yes, and like you, they are all bitching about it from their homes on political forums and Facebook.

Kid, do you even know how to use a firearm? Can you hit anything further than arm's distance? Do you know how to clean it and how to avoid shooting yourself?

I agree & disagree about groups being attacked for Whiteness.

While it maybe true that White Catholic bashing is seen as more political correct.

The fact that White Protestants aren't mocked in this country like White Catholics say much.

Why aren't our worst enemies the Germans attacked more than French our best allies?

Could Protestant chauvinism & German strength by numbers play a role?

I personally support the right to guns but screening criminals, the mentally ill, illegals etc. Makes sense.

I don't personally own guns.

But a ton of Americans do.
That's what matters here.

Soooooo while you think the nation is on the verge of civil war, you won't be participating in it......just like the millions of others who will only "fight" the civil war with "likes" on FaceBook. Awesome.
