There's plenty of hatred, but not enough motivation. The only thing most people feel for the country is disappointment/contempt. They have no interest in the government or the future of the country. Recent generations have been taught to hate themselves and their country and to be proud of nothing. It's like the complete opposite of patriotism/nationalism. The reason why people keep bringing up the "civil war" is because they've been taught to completely hate the other 50% of the country and wish they would just die (but once again, no real motivation to make that happen the old fashioned way).
