  1. Then we are just gonna have to get better at detecting fakes. Also that's already illegal.

  2. The US is larger and less culturally homogenous than Switzerland as well as just having more crime in general. America is a more individualistic and liberty driven society compared to Switzerland which is more communal and less focused on individual libertys. So regardless if the country had guns or not its crime rate would still be much higher because of its cultural values. The USA prioritizes personal liberty above ALL ELSE thus is willing to put up with the consequences of that. ie inequality (which leads to crime) and less safety. As Benjamin Franklin so succinctly puts the idea "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety". It was never just outside invasion or internal insurrections that guns were meant to be used for in America, but also AGAINTS the American government ITSELF in the case that it turned tyrannical. Just like the country the USA fought so hard to break away from, Britain. After having experienced British tyranny for so long the founders made sure to design the country so that it would be neigh impossible for a tyrannical government to gain power in America in the first place. Thus the government telling civilians what to do with THEIR property and forcing them to participate in compulsory military service is fundamentally anti-american. Most guns in America ARE used to protect people. The Department of Justice has stated that there are approximately 1.5 MILLION defensive uses of fire arms in America PER YEAR. This FAR exceeds the amount of people harmed by guns which as you said are majoritively suicides anyway. And that 1.5 million includes cases where no one is even shot, just having the weapon drawn being enough to deter an attacker.

  3. Mandatory military service is something that goes against American values of "liberty above all else" which is why its not a thing in America. The militia in America wasn't meant to protect the government from the people but to protect the people from the government. The second amendment is is the right to keep and bear arms, not just the right to have a militia. Compared to Switzerland which is more culturally homogenous and more communal.

  4.  @jamaly77  That too. Things like social services don't work as well in America compared to smaller more culturally homogenous countries like Switzerland. America places THE MOST value on individual liberty, with all that it implies good and the bad. Thus asking people to take care of those who aren't taking care of themselves doesnt make logical sense and is less effective. Just looking at the differences in health and obesity rates in America compared to Switzerland its obvious that Switzerlands health services have MUCH less to worry about since its population is not only healthier but also less violent in general.

  8.  @olska9498  Because travel between states is so much easier than travel between countries any kind of social welfare wouldn't mean anything as it would immediately ge taken advantage of those outside of the state as they came flooding in. Not to mention federal income taxes. And the federal government doesn't let states discriminate or pick and choose who comes in.

  9. Its called being responsible people should be believing the first thing they hear on the internet anyway that is NEVER a good thing...

  10.  @surfingbrrrd  I promise you it would NOT save the average person money, the cost would just spill over into other aspects of American life. No such thing as free and money doesn't just APPEAR, it HAS to come from somewhere.
    7
  11.  @olska9498  Because those are states, still beholden to a central government instead of independent countries that can freely govern themselves. The power of the individual states DID use to be a lot more prevalent but over the years the federal government has gained more and more power compared to the states.

  12.  @Noneofyourbyisness  Who are you to decide what other people should and should not here? Do you regard other people as children that need to be coddled or something? With you being so above every else that you get to decide what they should and shouldn't hear?

  13. This is a horribly dangerous line of thinking. The concept that responsibility comes before rights and can just be bestowed on whoever is deemed worthy at the time. Its completely backwards. The right comes FIRST AND FORMOST. Without the right there is no responsibility. Humans have natural rights that can not being infringed, rights that aren't given to you by someone and cant be taken away either. The right to arms is just the extension of the natural right to defend yourself. You wouldn't say that the responsibility of free speech comes before the actual right to free speech, so you cant say it for the right to protect yourself either.
    6
  14.  @gaminglichgamer4035  Because depending on where it comes from allows people to discern who they can trust and who they cant, no matter thee results the truth is still of the utmost important if you care about democracy at all.

  15. Sounds kind of oppressive

  16. ​ @swagmaster6922  No it should not be a societal responsibility, a person is responcible for themselves first and foremost, not the rest of society. Especially in a country as large as the US. It makes no sesne to be so heavily community centered in a country with so many people that's so large.

  19.  @ianhomerpura8937  Yes you very much can pull the ladder up from specific people. The point of immigration is to pick and choose the best immigrants to let into the country. Not to just let EVERYONE who wants in in. Also the point is the turn them into Americans not to have them turn america into something else.

  20. And people still trust the government...

  21. Im hilariously surprised people still believe the US government or really any government. Time and time again the US government will release some previously classified info people called a conspiracy theory and basically just say "yeah we did it" and NO ONE will care. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  22. I would guess its because the female reproductive system is much more delicate than the male reproductive system. The female reproductive system is more sensitive to changes it requires constant monthly changes of the structure of the reproductive. Where as compared to the male reproductive system that just continuously produces sperm all the time without stopping when the male reaches puberty. Alot less can go wrong when it comes to male reproductive system thus it's harder to interfere with. Over all a more females complicated system which means there are more ways to interfere with its processes.

  23.  @ianhomerpura8937  Yes... ESPECIALLY compared to America.

  24. Who are you to decided who should and shouldn't tell their side of the story? Who do you think has the responsibility to police what others should and should not say? Because you yourself have made some incorrect statements about some people in this very video. Should we not allow you to be able to speak? If you dont think some one has ideas worth discussing that's fine you dont have to, but for you to try and control and manipulate others because you think you know more of whats best for them than they do that's when YOU become the problem.

  25.  @MrYhuggybear  If you stop subsidizing it and made the industry less restrictive naturally prices WOULD come down over time. There's never an instant quick easy solution and trying to find one only leads to problems.

  26. I get that people can do what they want with their body but how is not wanting abortions to be a federal law "controlling women's bodys" no one cares about their bodys they care about whats IN their bodys IE another living person. A unborn person isn't the womans body it is its own body separate body.

  31. I doubt a person such as elon musk of all people isnt aware of the potential issue of space debris. But even in the unlikely event this becomes a problem there will then become an entire industry dedicated to fixing it and making money off of it as well. All to often government intervention stifles progress, lets not repeat that mistake. Less focus on "the greater good" and more on the individual good is always nice, change starts at the individual level.

  43. Treaties and laws alone mean nothing if you cant back them up some how. There is no peace without being able to defend yourself. You have to be able to defend yourself or have someone else defend you. Diplomacy alone when not backed by anything means nothing, you need to be able to exert force to actually be taken serious. Hence why the US is the most powerful country right now.

  48. ​ @TheDivineCalls333  Cover it sure, while also making it MORE expensive thus reducing total amount of money people have thus making everything more expensive. Governments getting paid is what happens when people cede so much agency to governments. When you give such an institution so much power then yeah obviously people are going to leverage that power for themselves. But people are too lazy and just want the government to fix all their problems for them. 45k a yeah in the 70s was so much more money accounting for inflation. And quite frankly the "boomers" people are always complaining about just made better decisions monetarily than the consumeristic people of today, on top of having lower quality products during those times. People now days are paying for all these high quality things we have currently that didn't exist back then.

  49.  @TheDivineCalls333  it deleted my previous reply. Long story short, taxes could pay for it and doing so would make it more expensive along with everything else because money doesn't come from nothing.

  53.  @solido888  Because America subsidizes the health care for the entire world. The only reason other countries can even think about universal health care is because the United States funds the research and development cost for new drugs and procedures out of pocket and other countries don't invest any where NEAR as much. As for the life expectancy is a completely different issue that has nothing to do with healthcare. In the US you are free to do almost whatever you want concerning your own health since it's not nationalized, so other people don't have to pay for YOUR bad health practices. Things like over eating, not exercising, eating unhealthy foods, is something Americans are allowed to do more of so they are on average less healthy. But this is a choice, a choice other countries don't have.
    1
  54.  @solido888  other countries don't pay them, they just get the drugs reverse engineer them and make their own.
    1
  55.  @solido888  Yes that is what freedom means. The ability to make choices for yourself whether they are good or bad for you. More freedom of care means that you can either get really good or really bad health care, compared to those other countries whose standard of care is average compared to the US. Right is the middle not the best but not the worst. Why do you think people come to the US to have some of the most complex surgery's done? If you can pay for it we have the HIGHEST quality of health care in the world.
    1
  56.  @solido888  If you have the money and the right insurance you can make more choices. A universal health care model would reduce the quality of care for literally everyone, and because of how inefficient the government is, it would just end up making it more expensive overall. So you'd get lower quality health care that is MORE expensive. The expenses would just come out of your taxes. It's basic economics. What you'd want is LESS government interference in health care, not more. The government and its regulations are why health care is so expensive right now in the first place.
    1
  57.  @solido888  No the data does not refute this, it says nothing about the QUALITY of care, only that more people will have access to it. For more people to have access to medical care than they already do you are GOING to have to increase prices SOME WHERE along that chain. Also no, very few country's health care systems have quality that scales with the amount of money you put in. Their quality is degraded because it has to universally serve such a large number of people.
    1
  58.  @solido888  Those 2 things don't contradict, higher quality naturally cost more AND over regulation raises prices as well. High quality and over regulation don't conflict. And yes the health care QUALITY in the US is the best unless you for some reason are including the total coverage a countries health care system has into the statistic for some reason, which would be weird when we are talking about quality and not quantity. Or are using a polling at which is irrelevent.

  59.  @solido888  I mean when you have yet to refute anything Ive said otherwise yes I very much can just say it's the best.

  86. ​ @freesk8  Actually this is a common misconception/myth. Its not poverty that drives crime, if anything its the opposite, crime driving poverty. If crime did drive poverty you would think you'd see places that are the most impoverished having the most crime but this isn't the case. The poorest places in the world routinely have a lower crime rate than even certain places in the United States. In the US at least it's not poverty that drives crime it's REALITIVE poverty/aka inequality/aka jealousy that drives crime. People seeing others with more than them and thus stealing and commiting crimes against those who they deem to be undeserving. In a free market liberty driven society naturally people are going to have the ability to make choices, since humans aren't perfect some of these choice are going to be just logically incorrect. These incorrect choice will lead to these people having a lower quality of life than their peers. For a society like the US which prioritizes liberty above all this consequence of people being naturally unequal is acceptable as everyone should be responsible for their own life and choices and consequences of said choices. Where as if you have a very top heavy form of government that focuses more on equality than liberty people are gonna have less liberty but those people who would be normally impoverished get taken care of by the state.
