    Polarisation isn’t that bad in Europe. We take things in our stride better.

    We’re not constantly freaking out over tiny things.

    America seems neurotic.

      Yes, polarization is the relevant factor, as I said. What part about this do you not understand?

      It’s not as if Europe has a great record in this sense either. One look at the last century tells us everything we need to know about how susceptible European populations are to polarization.

      Polarisation is absolutely that bad or worse in Europe. Poland and the UK are two good examples.

      Oh, and holy shit, Germany, etc. with lockdowns and such with covid. They went nuts.

      Oh, and how about riots in France every year? Come on. For a relatively small country, they flip out and set fire to things WAY more often than the USA does.
