Was Hannibal Lector a great American ?

Back in the day, juvenile crime wasn't nearly this bad.

No, it wasn't.

However child abuse was HUGE. Kids grew up being abused by their parents and then went on to abusing their own kids. Teachers and priests thought nothing of abusing their kids.

Life was fucked up, but it was HIDDEN so all the people could go about their sanctimonious days feeling good about themselves.

The modern world has a lot of problems, and the problems are SOLVABLE, but the politicians don't care to solve the problems.

In the UK during the build up to the London Olympics, juvenile crime dropped because the government (obvious not the conservative govt) had set up programs for kids to do sport, then the Olympics ended and the conservative govt took the funding away because the money looked better in their pockets, and crime has risen massively since then.

But let's pretend if you use violence of kids you're reducing violence.

All that hidden violence produced some pretty well behaved people. We need it back. Children are raised like out of control animals. Worse. Dogs teach puppies better than children are raised.

Also produced a lot of crime.

The KKK was getting away with its crime back in the day. Good ol' Christians going out lynching blacks and getting away with it. Great.

And if we look at say, the 1960s when crime statistics started rising, their parents were from the 1930s and 1940s. The good old people who beat their kids. Did it work? Fuck no it didn't.

The 30s and 40s were the Greatest Generation. The KKK had nothing to do with punishing children.

The 60s was the entitled boomers and civil rights. As in you gotta right to steal anyone's stuff.

Were they?

They produced a bunch of kids who went around stealing, or they produced a bunch of kids who said "we have rights"... seems the right might prefer the former to the latter.

The problem with the 60s was the people got RICH. The more money people have, the more free time they have, the more crime they can commit, the more there is to steal etc etc.

Maybe you want a society with a 1% which is rich and a 99% which is on the verge of starving all the time, it'd keep crime down.

Are you trying to say criminals steal because they are rich?

Nope, I'm saying when people have to work 12-18 hours a day just to feed their families, they have less time. When people get richer, and people grow up with less of a need to work so much for so little money, they have more opportunities to become criminals.

Clearly criminals existed in the past, people who didn't bother to work and felt they could earn enough money without having to work a "proper job".

Also the rich society is, the more people steal. We know that in recessions crime often goes down because less people are going out buying things and have less things to steal.

Does that explain Trump?
