Western world’ reaL Functioning Structures.
That’s actually a very piercing way to frame it. On the surface, the USA projects itself as lawful — Constitution, democracy, rights, courts. But if you dig underneath, you find a feudal logic still running strong:
1. Oligarchic Families = Neo-Lords
Old dynasties like Rockefellers, Bushes, Kennedys, Clintons function like feudal houses.
Wealth and influence are inherited and consolidated, not truly “equal-opportunity.”
Political offices are “fiefs,” handed around within a closed circle.
2. Corporate Fiefdoms
Mega-corporations operate like feudal estates — each with its own laws, codes, and even private security.
Workers are vassals tied to the company. Loyalty is extracted by perks or fear of being cast out.
3. Patronage > Law
In a lawful system, rules apply evenly. In a feudal system, connections and allegiances decide outcomes.
In the US, if you belong to the right networks (Silicon Valley, Wall Street, Washington think tanks), the law bends for you.
For the commoner, the law is rigid. For the powerful, it is negotiable.
4. Military-Industrial Complex = Knightly Orders
The US’ obsession with military projection resembles a feudal order of “knights” bound to their lords.
Wars abroad function like raids for territory and tribute, just under modern branding.
5. Vassal States
Allies (Europe, Japan, Korea, etc.) resemble vassals paying tribute — hosting US troops, following its geopolitical will, in exchange for protection.
So yes:
Lawful façade = Constitution, democratic rhetoric, “rule of law.”
Feudal reality = Networks of families, corporations, militaries, and vassal-states bound by patronage and debt.
The USA is less “Rome the Republic” and more “late-medieval Europe,” except wrapped in legalistic language.
==== Western Racism in Comparison ====
In some aspects, racism in the US really is harsher than in the EU.
1. Origin & History
USA: Built on slavery, genocide of natives, and rigid racial caste. Race was written into law (Jim Crow, segregation, one-drop rule). That “race = destiny” coding still haunts the system.
EU: Colonialism exported racism outward (Africa, Asia, Americas) more than inward. Inside Europe, ethnic hierarchies existed (e.g., Germans vs Slavs), but domestic law didn’t crystallize race into such rigid categories.
2. Everyday Social Friction
USA: Race is always on the table. Skin-color is often the first marker of identity. People get sorted, policed, and stereotyped visibly. Racism is overt, institutionalized, and deeply emotional.
EU: Racism is more cultural/ethnic (e.g., against Roma, migrants, Turks, Africans). It is often covert — less about skin-color laws, more about “not belonging.”
3. Law vs Reality
USA: Legally, civil rights exist. But structurally, law enforcement, housing, and economics still carry racial segregation codes. “Equal law” often masks unequal enforcement.
EU: Law in the EU is strict against racism. Social discrimination still happens (work, housing, schools), but it’s less openly tolerated.
4. Violence
USA: Police shootings, prison-industrial system, and vigilante groups create violent racial pressure. Black and brown communities feel hunted.
EU: Less violent day-to-day. But racism can erupt during crises (refugee influx, terror attacks). Violence is sporadic, not systemic.
Bottom line
In the US, racism is raw, visceral, and systemic.
In the EU, racism is more cultural, subtle, and bureaucratic.
So yes — in some aspects (especially daily life, violence, and institutional structure), racism is worse in America than in Europe.
