Yes -- but. Take the UK for example. The UK is the most unequal major country in Europe. It's a rich country which also contains some of the poorest regions in the continent. And yet, that doesn't translate to killings.
EDIT: to be clear, I am not disagreeing with you, but the same analysis could be applied to other countries, without the same conclusion. The US is not unusual in containing multitudes.
- luckylion 5y ago> The US is not unusual in containing multitudes. The different regions are the size of countries though. Instead of comparing it to any European country, comparing it to the EU might make more sense. You have Denmark, Sweden, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, but you also have Bulgaria, Romania, Portugal and Croatia, each with their distinct culture and much more autonomy than a region in the UK, more like US states.
