> The people running the country don’t really care what happens to you.

2, 3, and 4 have been true since the beginning of America and probably since the beginning of every country that has ever existed. Two has been objectively verifiable in the last 50 years in America and can even be graphed out. Three is also objectively verifiable to some extent on a case by case basis.

Any person who is aware of his society and culture would be aware of these things and would agree with at least 3-4 of them in America.
