Will the current sporadic armed conflict between some U.S. citizens and law enforcement personnel increase or hold steady in rate? Is it another aspect of Tainter Simplification ? Is it example of a social behavior arising out of a confluence of pressures driving the simplification, first manifesting in some mentally damaged folks?
Only time will tell. But the structural aspects can be discerned.
The widening availability & spread of firearms possession
Open carry/concealed carry
Increasingly confrontational political rhetoric
Increasing use of racial and ethnic derogatory comments by authority figures
Identity politics
Events usually not widely seen recorded and posted online
Increasing economic disparity
Increasing anti-government rhetoric
Apparent increasing distrust of government
and...
In other words, is this a progression?
