Completely disagree. If we compare incarceration rates, surveillance programs, sentencing guidelines, etc. it is very clear that European and American policies are incomparable. Almost half of US discretionary spending goes to the military. The impact of incarceration in the US is estimated at 6% of GDP. And the drug situation speaks for itself.

- seanmcdirmid 4y agoEurope is much more aggressive in drug enforcement than the USA. They sort of nip the problem in the bud before it becomes an even larger problem, which is where America fails. You really don't want to mess with the Swiss police. America kind of teeters between doing nothing and coming in very punitively.

They are doing strictly nothing against drug dealing, and the judges are just as bad. https://www.24heures.ch/en-finir-avec-les-toilettes-de-la-honte-place-de-la-riponne-163683657675 https://www.24heures.ch/en-finir-avec-les-toilettes-de-la-ho... https://www.illustre.ch/magazine/crack-a-geneve-le-quai-9-sous-haute-tension-390807 https://www.illustre.ch/magazine/crack-a-geneve-le-quai-9-so... etc not like it's any better in the Swiss German part.
