Nothing will change while there's a profit to be made
Look at the incarceration rates in states with for-profit prisons where judges get bribes to hand down custodial sentences, all so some cunts can profit from misery
People in the US are under immense pressure, constantly
If people weren't dying from completely treatable diseases, if they weren't afraid of everyone in their community being armed, etc. they would less inclined to lash out at things
Of course, it'd help if there was less bullshit to lash out against too
Then there's the matter of hateful, ignorant idiots being encouraged to be violent towards the people they fear
I get you, but I'm not just talking about US military aggression
I'm talking about the whole absurd notion of American exceptionalism
I've known so many Americans who have been relatively educated and aware of the world outside of 'Murica, but even then they are shocked that the rest of the world does things differently, usually better, and that they aren't special to anyone other than themselves
If you live in a more civilised part of the country, and move in more educated and civilised circles, it's horrifying how ignorant the overwhelming majority of Americans are
Not in 'Murica
It's not in the nature of the country
The purpose of the justice system should be to rehabilitate, but not in' Murica. 'Murica wants punishment
It's such an angry place
