One of the more interesting things over my years playing this game is that periods of relative peace and divisiveness tend to emulate world politics and political climates.

Currently echos my feelings about of at least American politics. You know. "fluff the orange man, blue team rules."

I think people in general are further apart than they've ever been, and seem more unable to reconcile each other's flaws than ever. I think politics here kinda just mirror that, and people in the center of debates tend to have the least appreciated opinions, despite being a relatively silent majority.
