Just playing devil’s advocate, the US and Germany are different in many ways. More lax gun laws in US, almost 4 times the population in the US, vastly larger size of the country to name a few.
- rschachte 4y agoHow is that playing devils advocate? That just furthers the point that the US has a ton of terrible policies and regulations that lead to systemic disaster in so many areas
- alexfromapex 4y agoThe definition of devils advocate is “ a person who expresses a contentious opinion in order to provoke debate or test the strength of the opposing arguments”. I posted a contentious opinion by saying that direct USA/Germany demographics comparison is a false equivalence and was hoping for more discussion around that instead of going in the direction that the USA has bad policies.

- alexfromapex 4y agoBecause I don’t care either way and therefore don’t have an opinion? I just posted an opposing viewpoint in hopes that there could be a well rounded discussion. Germany and the USA is an apples to oranges comparison.
