In eastern cultures they have a concept which, when translated, is called “the law.” “The law” is about defining a set of rules to encourage people to behave in a way that is more appropriate for society.
America has a strange relationship with the law. We both idealize and despise crime. Crime now is bad and scary (unless it’s your guys), but a lot of people will brag about their ancestors being criminals (especially mobsters). So you sometimes wind up with people who brag about being descended from mafiosos, listening to 90s gangster rap, and fearmongering about MS-13.
They frown on that sort of thing
Not only that…
Damn. Guess I’ll have to find another career path.
Or find another country? May I suggest one that won’t restrict ma fre… I mean ya freedoms so dang much?!

That’s crazy, it would never work here
Sounds like socialism either way, and my wise elected leaders said that’s bad.
Sound logic
Not in America. Apparently if you’re a criminal in America you can run for president!
This is America
