We have capital punishment for a reason.
Were people always this shitty - and maybe we just never heard about it-or is it something about the modern condition that is turning more people into assholes?

the 24 hour news cycle and citizen reporters has changed it so it's hard for Julian's America to fleece the chattle and use their wealth to get around laws and such
Those were Julian’s Canadians, it appears.
JA is more of a state of mind than a physical boundry

There is a lot of evidence (and writings) that Trump’s America is a product of the assholeization of America
Just driving around and observing, for example, I don’t remember this aggressiveness and assholery on the roads being as pronounced twenty years ago..
What is your evidence for saying it was always thus?
I think there has been a change in our culture and increased selfishness in the past few decades and accelerating
Are you submitting that people are fundamentally always the same?
I think you heard about it way less than it was actually happening
The internet has really turned up the dial too…
I was more talking about how the wealthy do what every they like (thereby being shitty)
I also think you were way less bothered by assholes 20 years ago than you are today

Disagree strongly
When I had my 18 month sojourn in Buenos Aires 2001-2 I couldn’t get over all the assholery, the selfishness.. I missed America!!! You could cross the street here without fearing for your life

yeah, PET was the bomb back in the 60's and 70's. his popularity (which i imagine was only aided by his fashion stylings) gave rise to "trudeaumania": he was literally chased by young folks (mostly women) like the beatles. he was a swinger*. his wife, margaret, partied at studio 54 where she… partied - while her husband was PM.

*apparently "swinger" didn't mean the same thing back in the 60's, unfortunately… it meant "hip", "cool", "with it".
