I think “doomed” is a bit extreme here. What you’re seeing here is the youth with no trust in institutions.
When the state is functioning as it should, I believe you’ll see a lot more trust. The fact so many young people turned out to vote for Trump shows they think it’s not hopeless.

Simply because I agree with you. It’s arguably the serious problem America faces, and one which will lead us to dangerous situations. As we’ve already seen all too well.
I do question if we’re “doomed” though. Seems a trifle too black pilled for me: People can - and frequently do - pick up religion as they get older and realise they don’t know all the answers. Solomon and the Book of Ecclesiastes spring to mind.
For example, look at how female opinions on transgender acceptance has changed drastically in the last four years.
Possibly we have a different definition of the words, because while I see the situation as unquestionably dangerous, I don’t think it is utterly hopeless.
😂 Lol yes. I think most people are orbiting that these days! I think one of the beauties of Israel is the public determination to strive in hope. It’s certainly the feeling I get when I travel there (but that was all pre-Oct 7).
To some extent, I agree Doug, but I don’t think the young are the only demographic where you’ll find one person willing to “take the law into his own hands” when ten thousand see no impartial legal system.

- An example of said demographic
You’re not factoring in here the data about religion that I’m citing, which is my whole argument.

I think “black hole-pilled” would be a good way to summarize my perspective on humanity in general and America’s cultures in particular. 😁

It's a bit of a leap from not trusting institutions to supporting cold blooded murder.
