I think it’s due to the fact that there’s no “honor” system or any homogeneity in the population. I’m a naturalized citizen and US is my one and only home. It’s sad that half the people I meet seem to hate living here and even hate their own country. When I was in Japan there was a massive rainfall and Kyoto station was flooding. I saw a bunch of old people appear out of nowhere wearing bright vests and helping to remove the mud and water. I found out they were elderly volunteers and that it’s just something Japanese people do there. In the US I feel like it’s so rare to see that kind of unity unless it’s a situation already dialed to 11. The investor class in the US treats people here like cattle. And the cattle all know they’re fucked unless they can elevate into the investor class.
