"The countries that have HSR," meaning western Europe are modern democracies with minimal authoritarian intrusion

That's a lie. The governments of France and Germany are social "democracies" and the government of the EU is a pseudodemocracy with no separation of powers (the Commission writes the bills and signs them into law). Japan has a constitutional monarchy that's highly authoritarian; all the local governments are highly dependent on the national government. Nothing "modern" about those structures; they're set up in mockery of Britain's government. The USA's government is more modern than any of them. You had better read their constitutions before you make any more assumptions.

Said countries do not have corporate corruption worse than that of the US.

Governments in said countries are far more accountable than those in the US.


Pity you don't visit OTChat more often, because I've posted oodles of evidence to the contrary whereas you post no evidence whatsoever for your blanket statements.

You are an authoritarian because you believe that the government should be absolute and unquestionable

I say nothing of the sort in that link. Either you can't read or your mental state is deteriorating.

For my part, I've never seen anyone hauled off by the cops that didn't deserve it in some fashion. And we're still getting only one side of the story on this board, as bad as the source of that story makes himself look.
OTC, you're the one that wants to live under government that's ever increasing in size and is ever more authoritarian.

All of those are simple and basic facts known to all reasonable people

No, they're assumptions and you can't prove them, which is why you defend them with rhetoric. Still waiting . . . and not even AEM7AC901 backs you up too far.
