Dropped out here due to spotty coverage along Polish railways. I think it's more than the guns, too. The totemic fetishization is odd, but lots of countries have high rates of firearms ownership and marksmanship training w/o frequent spree killings.

E.g. Serbia, which is politically about as much of a joke country as the US, and in a bad way due to various outcomes of the Balkan wars. Following the common US explanations of what causes mass shootings, they should be shooting each other constantly. Not really happening.

I have no idea! But I can tell you: Serbs are *very* comfortable with violence, and share many socioeconomic & cultural problems with the US. Whatever is going on in the US is a fairly unique phenomenon. Has more in common with "shithole countries" than it likes to admit.

Even Polish people are less anxious and neurotic IME, which is just crazy. This country is hyperneurotic at all times. Something is seriously wrong about the US, and I don't think we know how to explain it. All these things we mentioned are problems, but is there a The Problem?
