I've spent a lifetime traveling the united states. i originate from Appalachia. bad and racist judgements come all across the country. any state with the death penalty on the books will eventually do this, and any state that doesn't have the death penalty on the books has around 30% of people minimum who think it should be. you're deluding yourself if you don't think everywhere is like everywhere else just with different ratios of who is around

This would also mean California is like Alabama which is like New York which going even farther because borders are man-made, exactly like London which is exactly like Israel, Gaza, Yemen.....see how your argument is stupid or do I need to go on?

no actually. i don't see how my view that people are all people and the things we do is all in response to the context we grow up in is stupid. so please keep listing places that we have both the potential to improve or to degrade into depending on what actions we take and if we can learn to empathize
