It is simply not the case that nations are equally compromised.
Oh, it is the case; you just may not know about it. No one figurehead runs this world - that should be clear from a pedestrian POV. No one corporation [conglomerate], even, runs this world. Ideally, as a believer, you know there are real powers, principalities, and entities in heavenly realms that pull strings on a geopolitical scale - using other entities down here to do it. These are
real entities; not metaphors - the same type of real entities the Redeemer literally removed from another human, and literally put into swine. If you believe that, then you absolutely know about these powers and principalities running this world.
On a civilian level, it should still be clear that no puppet figurehead runs a nation, and none of the nations are any less corrupt than any other. America talks about N. Korean crimes against humanity as if the nation has never had corrupt bedfellows, and has never done wet work itself. The posturing of a "democratic nation of the people" is a farce for the collective consciousness of the people - to maintain sedation, ignorance and complacency.
Corruption is an issue that is and has been studied. Western countries are considerably less corrupt than the rest of the world. For two immediate examples, police shakedowns for bribes are the absolute standard in MOST of the world. Whereas in the US and EU, if you offered a bribe to an officer you would definitely get thrown in prison.
Not definitely - if it
fits the mood or exploitation of the entity. An odyssey in Police Corruption in the US will vehemently put to bed the idea that one would
definitely be thrown in prison for bribing a cop. This is also the case for the EU, and the UK. It is an illusion to believe the West does not have a rich culture of
coups, currency manipulation, creating wars for profit, and toppling governments for the purposes of putting their own puppet in office. These things can be verified
historically.
The U.S. and EU razed most of S. America - and have been for decades - through one or more of the aforementioned vectors of corruption.
For the second example, bribes for bureaucracy. In most of the world, you have to pay a bribe to the right bureaucrat to make anything happen.
The US skips that step and just denies you due process - while giving you the illusion that you have rights. If you know your law, you know
what law is currently in effect.
The West, East, South and North all magnify their own [marginal] attributes, while highlighting the errors and wrongs of other nations and regions. This is by design, but it is a complete comparative deception.
This level of corruption is unheard of in the United States.
This is my point; it is
not unheard of in the States; the current population of the States may just be realizing the magnitude of the corruption, but generations of Americans have seen
more overt corruption, and (perhaps, because of seeing the corruption) have been able to make prescient conclusions about the trajectory of the world today. Some less scrupulous persons
exploit this fatal flaw in the sight of Americans, and make money from it. Most people have a convenient paradigm to alleviate their responsibility to see the magnitude of the corruption with which they constantly face.
Whatever it is,
if you are seeing the corruption in the States now, it is almost too late. Of course, anything is possible with the Most High God.
