Again.....adjust for wealth , education, quality of life, etc.
The US was really not that moderate if you adjust for the aforementioned conditions.
Switch cultures and systems between the US and the USSR...also switch standards of living etc. and the USSR would have been just as "moderate". Perhaps a tad harsher or a tad softer.
But humans are humans, their aggressivene/moderate behavior is modulated by standards of living, age, sex, male to female ratio...and not much else.
For sure it's not capitalism vs. communism which are essentially the same thing.
Modern day religions propagated by the church of the state with the head of state as Pope.
Make people believe you have found a system to turn a 300 tons oil tanker into a cruise liner (and/or viceversa), and convince them to elevate you socially to implement (or conserve) such system.
At the end of the day that social elevation is the only thing that's real and the ship...well nobody really knows what happens to it, except for some BS metrics such as GDP which aren't metrics anymore, they became the objective.
When a metric becomes the objective..it ceases to be a good metric.
- philwelch 5y agoThat’s a lot of bullshit to make a moral equivalence between murdering tens of millions of people in cold blood and not murdering tens of millions of people in cold blood.
- GDC7 5y agoI don't believe the US are special. I believe the circumstances that led to the US birth and growth are special. Had the same circumstances happened in USSR, then the USSR would have gotten the same praise of moderation that you are reserving for the US. Same goes for East Germany or Greece or Malta or even Macedonia And so for every instance, you have to adjust for those special circumstances
