It is not pushed; it is a right. It is just a difference in culture. We americans have a strong legal system that is made for small and large cases. On top of that, we are allowed to do it privately by settling matters outside of the legal system when possible. It is not meant to be a “I don’t like this, so I will sue” however a lot of bad actors have popularized this. In fact, if a business acted in a way that was offensive, we have a right to defend ourselves. If there is no way to do that then we are losing something necessary to prevent a dystopian future. I do believe the american schooling system has become to naive and only teach the abstract general education classes.
I believe a lot of it came down to how much American companies had to be sued in the past and presently are because of the lack of regulations. Especially for a lot of newer technologies, or reduction of cost for previously discovered technologies. With current lobbying practices and ease of influence on our government, many people are forced to take things to court to cementify regulations or rights. Sometimes we are forced to take a business or individuals to court because many americans are uncaring for one another and some have tried to screw each other over.
It is not to say this does not happen all around the world. America seems to very loud. It is easy to see and hear about all kinds of things that happen to a large nation like america. While other larger nations either shut down the press or news coverages and are blatantly corrupted. Some of the large nations in europe are not all roped into one another under a single name like "Europe." It is all odd and complex.
I have jumped the gun too early on telling him to sue. I should have asked if he spoke to github before making that suggestion. my bad.
- ryandrake 3y agoThis is a great, reasonable explanation, and I also believe your original comment is getting unfairly dunked on. The USA has so little regulation to stop corporate wrongdoing, and the regulations that do exist are barely effective (“kid gloves”). The government is ridiculously lenient on companies. Even when they do break the law blatantly, law enforcement is loathe to do anything. As a result, they can basically do whatever they want. Civil lawsuits are one of the the only ways the general public even stands a chance to influence/correct how they behave.
- acters 3y agoI got dunked on. I casually commented an opinion without thinking of how to put my feelings and thoughts into words. I made the legal option too upfront. It is an eye catching controversial topic to jump on. I am just enjoying myself for now. typing up random ramblings.
