What happened to civility?

Power elites want to distract people with the next cultural war. What I mean is, the systemic approach of pinning people with a little bit of status and a little bit of power against those with less. Instead of focusing on the much larger issues of democracy, climate change and nuclear war, we squander and waste what’s left in the tank. No one person is strong enough to change things around here but together much can be accomplished. Nothing happens until we see each other as members of the human race again and rid of the “us vs. them” culture.
