we're still going through chaos and violence though?

  Mostly caused by parts of the world not governed by the rule of law and capitalism (and democracy of course).

    internally, the united states is very chaotic and violent. and the united states has caused a ton of chaos and violence throughout the world. arguably they're one of the main causes of instability in a lot of countries.

      The US has made some questionable choices, but here I'm talking about not only the US, but Europe, Oceania, Japan, South Korea etc. As a European though I'm eternally grateful that the one country to become the global hegemon was the US. I don't think the world realizes how lucky it is. Might sound like a fanboy but there's plenty about the US I don't like, moved back home because of those things even, but you have to look at the bigger picture here.
