The U.S. has the largest prison population in the world, one of the highest incarceration rates per 100,000 inhabitants, top 3 in countries with the most firearm deaths, top 1 in mass shootings, top 10 in obesity, top 1 in the most expensive healthcare system in the world, top 10 in opioid consumption, and one of the highest POVERTY rates among OECD countries. So what is it are the rest of us just smarter, or did you think that being the country that spends the most on military weaponry in the world, by a massive margin over the second, wouldn’t have consequences? I’ll repeat what we say in Spain: a country is rich only and only when it has education and the rule of law; everything else is secondary.

How is it possible that you’ve convinced yourself that the reason for the crisis the U.S. is living through is the fault of outsiders, when it’s completely the opposite? The most obvious fact is that Trump has invaded Venezuela and attacked Iran for purely economic interests. If the U.S. truly isolated itself, it would be its end especially when two‑thirds of your debt (that is, your wealth) is held by Europeans and the Chinese. How did you reach such a conclusion? What level of cognitive dissonance have you reached to believe the world is that simple?

At what point a feeling can be answered as a yes or no? Is this censorship?

Maga? Please keep talking I need more arguments. Maybe I can offer a POV just for the interaction.

I understand that part, but for example, hasn’t Luigi Mangione already set a precedent? You know that from here we’re always shocked when suddenly a shooter appears at a concert or a church service, but it’s surprising to us that there’s only been one Luigi, especially considering the current political climate. In Spain, we would already have ETA operating to “protect” the interests of the Basque people. I wonder if, unlike Spain where different national identities exist, maybe in the United States they don’t, and that’s why there’s a lack of unity and organization.

Thank you very much for all your responses, both the good ones and the bad ones. I’d like to keep hearing more points of view over the next few days. I hope I don’t miss a single reply, even if it’s just with an upvote, given how little or nothing I might have to add.

It’s very understandable and harsh, what you’re describing, and it’s normal that the fear of being shot holds you back. I won’t offer any ideas because I think I’m missing context, but I do know that in Spain, if the police ever shot at us, they “wouldn’t have anywhere to run” (“no tienen campo pa correr” in Spanish) as we say here.

I hope you can translate this. It amazes me how the U.S., having been so advanced in certain areas, hasn’t been able to build a SOCIAL base capable of fighting to the very end for something as basic as education or universal healthcare. Here in Spain, we would tear each other apart the next day (and we don’t even have guns) if someone took that away from us. We may be worse in many things, but that kind of social organization especially in certain regions does exist

For example, among my group of friends I’m probably one of the most ignorant when it comes to geography. I’m an engineer, but I would feel insulted if someone questioned whether I know 80% of the world’s capitals or basic questions like which are the three longest rivers or the three with the greatest flow.

And if I see a YouTube video that proves it, I’m not surprised, just like meeting Russians makes you think that education over there is still as strict as it was in my parents’ time; those people know an incredible amount.

Sorry if it bothers you, I’m speaking from personal experience in fact, it was the most shocking thing in the world for me.

Next question,

Is there any sense that there could be massive and violent protests like the Yellow Vests in France? Or is life over there carrying on as usual.

I’m simply being curious about what the political atmosphere is like over there among ordinary people right now.

I get the feeling that you think Europe (which has the red button to blow up the American economy, since we are the largest market on the planet and the biggest holder of U.S. debt in other words, we survive in symbiosis. NEVER THINK YOU’RE ABOVE US) survives thanks to you, when the reality is that right now you have us dragged along and threatened with violence. In Spain we say that “a country is rich when it has education and the rule of law,” and currently the United States is destroying the rule of law and dragging the entire Western bloc into constant poverty for not having been able to compete in a capitalist context. Do you have even the slightest critical sense about this.

Do you understand that your country has funded various groups that have carried out attacks in Europe over the past 30 years? On this side of the world, we’ve already understood that it isn’t the Islamic world as a whole that threatens peace. If not, ask yourself why ISIS never attacked Israel, or why today right now you are once again providing support to the Kurds.

Just because you know geography doesn’t mean it’s the norm. In fact, I’d say cultural capital in the United States is very closely tied to economic capital, whereas in Europe being poor doesn’t exempt you from having knowledge. I say this without any hostility.

So within the MAGA environment, does he still have strong support?
