A name occurs to me for one of the big cultural deficits/blind spots I've been frustrated by. especially recently when it's been most relevant:

The Pollyanna-Rambo Complex.

Which is to say, a lot of people seem to imagine that either everything is going to work out with at most some well-mannered and socially acceptable scolding/protest, or they think that every enemy needs to be mowed down and everything destroyed. Furthermore, you simply *must* take the "correct" side.
