The founding fathers of America had the good insight that people are fucking retarded and a government is best when it's slow and constantly at odds with itself. Massive changes almost always lead to economic disaster. This requires a strong opposition that holds the ruling party accountable and acts (primarily) in the interests of the people they represent. If the opposition is just as corrupt as the ruling party, the multinationals and banks always win.Fundamentally, Western institutions were not designed to deal with people actively seeking to subvert them.
It all trickles down from here, influencing policy decisions that lead to things like rampant homeless problems, dangerously addictive prescription drugs being handed out like candy, and allowing bankers to catastrophically fuck up the economy every decade or so.
