We have politicians lying, government split along party lines, and leaders that are more interested in virtue signalling and propaganda spinning. Even the people are turning on each other. The world today is worse off than even 10 years ago. Nations are reverting to attitudes not held since the 1930's, the west and its culture looks to be in rapid decline.
People are getting angry, because some now see the governments are actively
working
against their own population.

What put the west in its dominant position globally was its ability to wage war better than everyone else. The wars also "helped" us to appreciate what we had, it also gave the freedoms we had some weight, some merit. but since its been 73 years since the end of the war, many people have lost sight of the price paid for these freedoms.
Not going to derail this 'so called bomb' thread, so I'll just leave this tidbit,
maybe we discuss it later in another thread.
Talk about someone who has lost sight.

The president of a university students' union has been criticised for saying a mural in memory of First World War soldiers should be 'painted over' because it displays only 'white men'.
Emily Dawes, the head of the University of Southampton Students' Union, provoked outrage when she referred to the university's Rotherstein Mural as a 'mural of white men' and called for it to be taken down.
She tweeted: 'Mark my words - we're taking down the mural of white men in the uni Senate room, even if I have to paint over it myself.'
Both she and the students' union have since apologised for her comments after she was accused of abusing the free speech the soldiers fought and died to protect.
The mural that she is freaking out over, shows an unknown soldier getting his degree,
a tribute to the men who left university to go fight in WWI.
And she is crying because the mural is about white men.
She is not just some 1st year dumb twat,
she is President of the Students Union.
The "rot" goes incredibly deep, and will take a huge effort to fix it.
OK, rant over, back to the so called bomb thread. Sorry for the diversion.
