Very clearly, our sense of shared identity, communal action, and trust in one another is not what it used to be. We are all individuals and submitting ourselves to a common fate does not come naturally to us.
I'd say if you pull back the camera, I think it would become clear that the discipline that the civil rights movement showed in the '60s was a major exception to normal human behavior and it took a special combination of factors to achieve that kind of discipline that we probably won't see in our lifetimes.
