We Kept Telling The Idiots

But they wouldn't listen:

Our own personal experience & accurate perception of reality apparently mean nothing; now that surveys & studies have been conducted & academics agree, will fools continue to believe the hype filling their empty heads? (Catch-22: Point out that these United Snakes are driving their residents mad — those Yankees who have a mind to lose, anyway — & one is marginalized as nuts & not to be believed.)

Not that anything can be done, or that anyone had the sense to do something before it was too late, but here's what fools won't face:

How Our Society Breeds Anxiety, Depression and Dysfunction

Our belief in “progress” has increased our expectations that life should be more satisfying, resulting in mass disappointment.

A June 2013 Gallup poll revealed that 70% of Americans hate their jobs or have “checked out” of them.

It doesn't stop there. Absolute proof that they are out to get you:

The More a Society Coerces Its People, the Greater the Chance of Mental Illness

Miserable marriages, unhappy families and severe emotional and behavioral problems all have a root cause.

Throughout history, societies have existed with far less coercion than ours. While these societies have had far fewer consumer goods and less of what modernity calls “efficiency,” they also have had far less mental illness. This reality has been buried, not surprisingly, by uncritical champions of modernity and mainstream psychiatry. Coercion—the use of physical, legal, chemical, psychological, financial, and other forces to gain compliance—is intrinsic to our society’s employment, schooling and parenting. However, coercion results in fear and resentment, which fuel miserable marriages, unhappy families, and what we call mental illness.

We've certainly no reason to hate these United Snakes w/ the white-hot heat of, oh, a branding iron about to be applied to the pasty-white ass of, say, any Mall★Wart heir who coerces (There's a fucking euphemism.) allegedly free people into indentured servitude. No reason at all.

The American Way tells us that violence is the only certain solution to any & all problems. (Might makes right.) If the only possible solution to America's pandemics of violence & insanity is increasing the murder & madness (More guns will too solve the problem of gun violence!) this nation of coerced sheep are ++screwed. Not that we're personally concerned; we will be dead soon enough, & glad of it! (Au reste, après nous, le Déluge!)[Only the first number (1:57) is obligatory, 'though the entire collection (TRT 23:49) won't hurt you. Much.]
