Political Polarization and the Failure of Modern Society

Is anyone else tired of this Democrat -vs- Republican crap?
Can anyone else no longer ignore that these supposedly
"diametrically opposed" contenders are really two sides of
the same insidiously radioactive coin, and that they are
systematically licking each others boots to a showroom shine
behind the scenes?

Is anyone else unable to see that these perpetual
"ideological wars" are nothing more than malevolently
engineered "social malware", propagated by the modern day
Caesars, who toss out polarizing issues like crusty loaves
of bread to the intellectually staved masses, which results
in perpetual infantile whining from the emotional robotic
peasants:

  WAH! You're wrong!

  WAH! No, *YOU'RE* Wrong!

  WAH! (I just want to wah so i can WAH!!!)

Am i crazy to opine for a society that focuses it's energy
towards achieving intellectual goals instead of wasting it
on churning up the same old emotional drivel time and time
again? A society that seems to now be caught in an
existential shampoo-rinse-repeat loop, flipping ass-over-tit
down the side of a steaming pile of mountainous emotional
excrement, that is extruded from the potty mouths of
innumerable whining hordes!

Am i justified in my contempt?

Society has come a long way since our native tribal
societies, but have we really improved all that much? Sure,
we've enumerated the basic fundamentals of freedom, but we
cannot escape the poison pill of our own collective
emotional baggage. Are we now witnessing the pinnacle of
free society? Is this "dystopia of dysfunction" all we can
hope for? And this "myriad of malaise" the unavoidable
result from that realization?

Is realityTV, gossip columns, drama porn, and fetishistic
fascinations with the size of KK's buttocks really something
we should be proud of? Is there any hope that man will
utilize his faculty of reason to guide his hand through all
the drool and muck, to find, and finally flip, the off-
switch on this "orb-of-confusion", that has him trapped in a
perpetual "Patrick mode"?

Or are my laments merely wishful fantasies masquerading as a
masochistic academic exercise?

YOU TELL ME...
