The pandemic was hard on people world wide, probably harder on people outside of America. Only America is seeing this trend.
The pandemic and anti-social behaviour is not the cause. American people are not unique, but the built form of their cities and the type of cars they drive is. That is more likely the cause.
Some of the discourse in the U.S. is so weird. It simply pretends the rest of the world doesn’t exist.
The classic Onion headline “‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens” refers to gun violence specifically but it applies to so much more in the U.S.
I’m not really sure what causes Americans to behave this way.
