I am Polish and I live in Poland. Between 1945 and 1989, real socialism prevailed in my country. We laughed as a nation that our system is best at solving problems that it has created itself and that are nowhere else. Unfortunately, the same can be said of the political and social system in the USA from today's perspective.
In a country where anyone can kill anyone and in a country where the death penalty is commonplace, everyone has a finger on the trigger and the Police, who are supposed to defend everyone from crime, have such a difficult task that it becomes impossible to do it without pathology. Europe recognises neither a universal right to arms nor the death penalty. No one here needs to protest too much against the brutality of the Police - the Police don't need to be brutal here. What else America - how many of you, my dear, are bringing daily weapons into schools - thousands? No, tens of thousands. And you want to take the police money today and give it to education. What for? Some time ago in the U. S. , a psychotic brought a gun to a psychiatric hospital. He tried to shoot his psychiatrist, but as he also had a gun, the psychiatrist shot first and shot the psychotic. The USA was proud to have such heroic psychiatrists, while the rest of the world wasn't skimping on criticism. It's a sick situation - no one there should have a gun, but it's also a situation that shows how sick the US system is about this.
The world is moving towards a system in which a person, instead of doing the wrong thing, will not be punished in the direction of a situation in which, before doing something wrong, he will stop knowing that punishment is inevitable. The system of universal access to arms and the death penalty in the US makes this impossible. Yes, you can count on good people with guns, but the same combination is sick and makes you paranoid, which is impossible to fight. You put your hand in the fire and count on someone on the side to blow it. Wake up.
There were Indian civilizations that were so successful that they developed. Giant cities developed because they had a sewage system, for example. Unfortunately, the bigger such cities were, the more it turned out that it was difficult to feed them, because the food resources had to be obtained close. However, when there was a serious crisis due to unpredictable circumstances - chaos was created in these cities, so such civilisations fell within a very short period of time. Russia or China are just powers. The U. S. is an empire because of the leader's position, which it won a long time ago. A superpower cannot defeat an empire by becoming an empire. He's always a superpower. But when empires fall, the powers are divided. Today, the USA is in a similar situation to that of the Indian civilisation - because of its size - it is so far ahead that it lacks a backside. You fall for trivial reasons only because, looking at your greatness, you are not able to discipline yourself like the rest of the world, which, without such a position as the USA, had to resist more solid socio-political foundations.
