Twitter is definitely not a good medium for thoughtful discussion! Some one remark of yours can get caught up and retweeted wildly, but then if you have any follow-up thoughts, or reconsiderations, those never get seen.
But honestly, doing a fair amount of research on countries with recent pasts that include horrific actual violence, I think we're still doing okay. Our system is plagued by injustice but it still holds up the notion of justice, and people still believe it's possible to work within the system for positive change, and most of us, whatever our political persuasion, aren't advocating violence against those who differ from us. So, those are big positives, I think.
