we hate each other

Here's a Liberal Hivemind video about some traffic-related incidents that show how much Americans now hate their fellow Americans... or if not that, then how much we've all become dicks to one another:

In that same spirit, but from a more bird's-eye perspective, here's a Triggernometry video with guest Ben Shapiro in which one subject is why Americans hate each other:

A couple years back, Paul Joseph Watson introduced me to the term "emotionally incontinent" as a way to describe people who have no emotional self-control. In the Liberal Hivemind video above, the first incident shown involves a white biker who gets pissed off because a car—in which two black people happen to be sitting—is parked in the bike lane. Legally speaking, the biker is in the right: the car shouldn't have been parked there. But his approach to the situation was to rap hard on the car and speak in strong terms with the driver, who resented having his car being touched. The biker could have dialed back his approach. The black driver and his girlfriend/wife become shouty and strident themselves; they too could have dialed it back a few notches. To me, both sides ended up looking emotionally incontinent. The biker could simply have breezed past the car at minimal risk to himself instead of making this into a justice issue. The black couple could have parked someplace else. Neither side came out looking rosy. And more and more, this seems to be how Americans treat their fellow citizens, at least in the cities. And the sickness only grows. What's the cure?
