You don't need to cite another country as having a better structure to point out the one you currently live in is broken.
the systems that currently exist are not the only systems to have ever existed nor are the the only possibilities to choose from. Other options are possible.
Lastly, nothing about the tone is suggesting this is specific to the US. They are simply describing the US situation. You're the only one comparing it to the situation of other nations.
I didn't say you do. I agreed, I just see this as a very international problem among western democracies that all embraced neoliberal politics and economies.
"You people think that the source of the problem is the solution." does seem to be applying only to Americans, and the OP came back and did make an argument that this is a uniquely American problem.
