I think it's more than that. Consider the past 2 decades. 9/11, the war on terror, the 2008 crash, the 2016 election, and most recently covid. Have we recovered from any of these? I don't think this story is about a society that's tearing itself apart, but one that is unable to handle or heal from traumatic events.
