Kinda like the UK.

  Lots of similarities, almost like you could predict it by reading history

    That would require people to read history, which is becoming more & more of a pipe dream.

  Maybe like the UK but the problem with the US is that the US is a violent country. Lower standard of living is likely to cause violence. UK literally just lost all the colonial wealth but came together to build itself again. In many ways, the US is a spiral descent culture while the UK lost is all and ascended again but to lower levels.

    It's nonsense to claim that the USA is a particularly violent country. Since 1776, the per capita rate of violent deaths has been lower than Europe or China.

      What happens with those figures if war is removed from the data? US Euro compare 2000 to 2000: https://ourworldindata.org/data-insights/since-2000-homicide-rates-have-dropped-sharply-in-europe-but-barely-changed-in-the-united-states https://ourworldindata.org/data-insights/since-2000-homicide...

        So you're claiming that wars don't count?
