"This country sets sapiens up for failure."

Which is why the USA had 967,400 new citizens naturalized this year, and who knows how many risked their lives to come here illegally? Which is how the USA won the most medals in the last Summer Olympics, and has over twice many Nobel Prizes as the next closest country?

Political conflicts are not "horrible" by the way. Countries that don't have political conflicts are one party police states. A political conflict in any given country is a sign that they actually have politics there, and not a dictator ruling by decree. Or they have a dictator like in the PRC and Iran, and the people are taking steps to wrest some power away from them. Have you been following the politics in Sweden lately? Yes, they have political conflicts too, and a right wing government is in power, but it's just another day in Stockholm. Armed conflicts are horrible.

Capitalism is the natural way that people engage in economic activity in large scale societies. No one sat down and made it up, like they did with socialism, and it will happen anywhere people have the freedom to trade with each other and own property. What part of the government inspires so much trust in you that you think they should run everything? And if you don't want that, what will replace capitalism? No matter what system there is, we're stuck with the same people..
