I don't want to catastrophize, but I fully expect a Cambodia-like death-spiral in our lifetime. The elite, media, governments, and law are all whipping up a frenzy of vengeance built on entitlement. They have no idea about the monster they're creating in order to garner clicks, or sway voters, or whatever other short-sighted end-goal they're pursuing at any one moment.
With social media acting as an amplifier for confirmation bias bubbles, it's only a matter of time before things spill over. At this point, they're either pretending they don't see it, or are doing it on purpose. Either way, they won't be spared by the rabid maniacs that they've spawned.
That's about the only consolation I have in all this.
