I am aware they are older. The USA is only 250 years old. You are right, though, I will stop measuring them like that. It was more about how that hotspot for human development changes places throughout history, and right now it’s sadly in America; they created the nuclear bomb, the Internet, smartphones, the biggest social medias… That nuclear bomb is probably the worst contender, it made the rest of the world look at the USA and its allies as some kind of “big brother.”

I think countries that had access to those technologies earlier, and also meddled and exploited poorer countries, had an advantage in having the free time and money to grow and care more about societal issues, as explained by Maslow’s “Hierarchy of Needs” I guess. Societies struggling with poverty and wars are having it much harder to continue their evolution or growth, because their priorities are to fulfill their Physiological Needs first, let alone the education they need to be able to change their government. By “young” I subconsciously meant that gap. I didn’t have a better word to describe it. It’s a gap that was exacerbated by greed and corruption.

I’m also not excusing any government. I am very disappointed and angry at all of them. I can still praise what is right and works, but yeah, recently, it’s mostly negative. I felt annoyed at the people here who are genuinely trying to say “Muslims are women abusers” and nothing else, when that’s not the case. Out of all the replies I got here, like 3 of them are from people like that, who instead of seeing what you see, they just want to insult Muslims for the sake of it. I got bothered with it, I wrote that quick rant
