Are we not, though? I’m pretty cynical, but even from a pragmatic standpoint we are incredibly destructive despite us telling ourselves how great we are with our technological advancements.

We’re both, actually. And I would push back on your assertion that you’re holding a pragmatic standpoint.

The fact that you focus on the negatives and do not mention any of the positives bolsters my point…

You also should not assume that everyone is the bad guy, either.

There is no requirement to mention “both sides”. I did not agree to such a condition, that’s your own criteria to make yourself correct. Have at it.

There is in America. It’s one of the founding parts of the framework of the social fabric of the country.
