Welcome to the Burning '20s
Briefly

Over the past two decades, the appetite and tolerance for violence in American political life has been growing, marking a troubling phase known as the 'burning 20s.'
The recent acts of violence, such as the attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas, reveal a disturbing trend of radicalization and willingness to resort to violence among individuals with military backgrounds.
This decade of instability is epitomized by individuals like Matthew Livelsberger, whose political messages emphasize that 'Americans only pay attention to spectacles and violence,' highlighting a concerning shift in societal focus.
The term 'stochastic terrorism' applies to recent incidents where perpetrators commit violence spurred by an environment that normalizes and encourages such actions, reflecting a grave danger in America today.
