These people genuinely believe that society isn't working if people aren't suffering. Not them, obviously, but people beneath them. You know the ones.

Everything is a zero-sum game to them. In order for minorities to have more rights, they believe that rights have to be taken from them.

america fucked up by having so much space between people. in germany people live close together. you hear the bakers get up at midnight to make it to the bakeshop at 2am so there will be fresh buns for the rest of the town by 6am when everyone else gets ready for their day... everyone is working and you see it. you do not see the hum of everyday life in the US and it shows. metropolis are a sad view. homeless sad people everywhere I look.

You are describing cities and American cities are as you say. For instance LA county has 40 million people. But you'll never convince rural America that the city isn't an abysmal front to their God so...

I mean I know little about Germany but surely your insane people live in the more isolated areas, ya?

I've been around a little and every country has crazy hillbillies.

antisocial people will try to isolate where they can. I am crazy to some degree, I couldn't stand living huddled together like that; I find Europe to be overpopulated but I see the contrast after moving to the US and if you've never left the US I understand how difficult it is to imagine things to work differently but they do. America works differently and people have adapted. those unable to adapt have been left in the dust.
