So the way that you set up the question is, should they be the worst empire?

empire imaginable.

The United States is not the worst ever, the worst ever empire imaginable.

If China or Russia were in actual, like were they the global power?

I'm not saying they are.

I said if they were, it would be totally different.

And the United States absolutely is... Look, all you have to do is look at how many countries have McDonald's to know that the United States did it economically.

Right, like the United States has built the liberal economic order.

Sorry?

Now you're making arguments for deportations.

The United States can't be Switzerland, though.

Yeah, that's true.

The idea that we're desensitized to violence, this is a totally novel period in human society.

That's the point that I'm making.

Like, we are less violent now, in this point in human history, than human beings have ever been in all of human history.

How many people have been adopted?

I don't know if that's true.

in the last 100 years because of governments, probably 200 million.

But the point that I'm making is the average person in the Western world is far less likely to engage with violence than other people in other points in history.

Ever.
