The US put a lot of time and money into stratifying society, splintering the general public into isolated groups* and then tried intentionally to propagandize everyone with individualism so that we wouldn't recognize social/collective crimes and then hold authorities responsible for their actions.
along with the heinous literal crimes i think a lot about how there's a kind of moral, national crime in subjecting all of us to this, to this consuming our politics, committed against us by a number of powerful and connected people up to and including the president
