The U.S. has been hit especially hard by the billionaires who control the world media with a coordinated campaign to divide us. This, of course, was a planned attack leading to the current situation. I doubt any other population would fare any better under the same attack. The American people were attacked because we're in the most powerful country, and the billionaires want to turn the most powerful country into a fascist dictatorship as a means to control literally the entire world.
Sadly, it's working, for the moment. They always lose in the end, though.
Remember, it's a class war, and there are far fewer of them, than us.
