15. US is a nation that loves death and violence

This is fact. Just look at a list of films that are the most popular in our culture - 90% of them glorify death and vengeance and violence. We feed on it every single day.

Even those of us who fight hard for gun control laws are part of the problem. How many times have you watched the Godfather? How many times have you watched Die Hard, or No Country for Old Men?

I am old enough to remember a time before we were desensitized to death and violence; back in the early 60's when the most violent film of the day was Psycho, which would be considered incredibly mild and boring by today's standards.

When we have a whole society that continuously absorbs countless images and scenes of brutal violence, it is not surprising at all that monsters like Gendron would emerge from the cesspool. Personally I think that this desensitization was and is deliberate. It is preparing us for what is coming - the establishment of a brutal police state here in the USA.
