Fixed:

William Falk May 28, 2022
America's metastatic cancer --- How rampant distrust is killing us

Schools. Churches. Synagogues. Supermarkets. The victims of the last
massacre, in Buffalo, were still being buried this week when another
disaffected young man armed with an assault weapon slaughtered 19
children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas. So far this year, this
broken nation is averaging 10 mass shootings of four or more people
every week. The same country recently passed 1 million COVID deaths —
far more than any other nation.

Tens of millions of people believe the 2020 election was stolen, and
democracy itself stands on crumbling ground. Sharply conflicting
abortion laws will inflame the rancor between blue and red states.
Even the supposedly nonpartisan Supreme Court has split along the
seams, with justices openly expressing scorn and suspicion of the
enemy faction.

These are all symptoms of an underlying metastatic disease: a lack of
trust. The reason Australia had a per capita COVID death rate
one-tenth of ours, The New York Times recently reported, is that
Australians trusted their scientists, their government, and each
other, while Americans emphatically did not. In a very real sense,
900,000 Americans died of distrust.

Americans cannot trust that our kids will go to school without being
shot. We can't trust people to wear masks in a pandemic, because so
many insist they have a right to infect others. We can't pass sensible
gun-safety laws because some people passionately believe they need
weapons of war to defend themselves against government tyranny.

Many Americans no longer trust organized religion, corporations,
capitalism, their employers, or the media. We do not share a common
set of facts and values. We have self-sorted and retreated into our
own worlds, our own websites, social media feeds, cable networks, and
communities. Separated by impenetrable walls of tribal loyalty, we
cannot come together to solve our problems, even when they are killing
us. Thoughts and prayers.

This is the editor's letter in the current issue of The Week magazine.
