No it's not unfortunately, of course it's not all Americans that are sociopaths, that's not the claim, but it is all of AMERICA as a country that is sociopathic with sociopathic laws, law enforcement and federal government. Not just Mississippi or a few states.
When more than half the population votes sociopathic and don't oppose the fascist tendencies it has to be regarded a social illness for the country as a whole.
I'm so sick of hearing it's not everybody or all states, because of course it isn't, that's impossible, Nazi Germany also had good people, and of course there are good people in USA too, the problem is they are a minority, and the country is in fact a fascist cesspool of evil, and the fascists are in power. Even som places you may not regard as sociopathic really are, because many Americans have become immune and think it's normal to let people die of starvation and sickness because they can't work, and if they steal even just for food, many places of USA has the 3 times and your out sociopathic mentality, even over a candy bar for fucks sake. The mentality is everywhere even if it isn't everyone.
That shit should never even have been legal to begin with, and in fact it isn't because there is such a thing as cruel and unusual punishment is illegal, but still it's practiced every day without being stopped, and the legal system accepts it, because the legal system is interpreted with the same sociopathic mindset as the rest of the American society.
PS TLDR:
Despite not all Germans were Nazis under the Nazi regime, it was a Nazi country at the time, with Nazis in power.with everything that followed from that.
The same is the case in USA today, not all Americans are fascists or sociopaths, but the fascists and sociopaths are in power, and that is by the will of the American people!
I'm talking about present Germany, with their present nazi party. Not past Germany. Just to correct that misinterpretation. And I also meant specifically the example of the post. Mississippi's prisons are worse by no small magnitude compared to other usa states
Still apparently legal under American federal law, last I checked Mississippi is part of USA. And federal law in USA doesn't protect human rights very well, which is very contrary to EU.
So even if AfD becomes part of a coalition government in Germany, they have to observe human rights under EU regulation.
As I mentioned many aren't even aware how bad it is in USA, and you seem to be one of them if you are American.
Id disagree with that last part. If you've read anything about prisons inside the US they're all terrible. I mean torture (solitary confinement) is the go to punishment in every prison
