There are such segments in other countries, but their numbers generally reach at most ~10% of voter base. And a lot of their talking points come from far-right segments in US. There are a few countries where they can effect a controlling share of the vote, but those countries have generally FPTP voting system. Im not counting in reactionary societies like Saudi Arabia, of course.
It's not easy to say if the polarization is bigger in America.
But you should be aware the commercial three columns of this world:
* Power / might: City of London
* Military Executive: USA
* Religion / faith: Vatican
At this time the military executive is shifting to China when observed correct.
So the USA has done it's role and the Great Reset can start.
It is easy to say that negative polarization is bigger in US - at least for the social system and those who propagate that social system:
London: UK still has a lot of social programs and free healthcare that protects people from being left to die if they cant pay for something. Even if the existing conservative government is trying to privatize everything and make it like US as fast as they can. Whereas In US, police confiscates the tents of homeless people and drives them outside the city in the winter. To freeze. If you cant pay the hospital, you die. It doesnt get any more negative than that... Well... It does get more negative than that, but as far as this planet and this particular society goes, its as negative as we have.
Vatican: Not even relevant, just a religion. And there is a Liberation Theologist as the pope right now, so its as positive as it gets:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_theology
Liberation theology follows the example of actual man, Jesus.
China: Its just a country. Its military being stronger does not make it positive or negative.
...
Determining the positive/negative alignment of systems, cultures and people is not so very difficult. Some simple pointers give it away:
- Are poor, downtrodden, needy helped, protected, or are they reviled and persecuted
- Is there equality in the society in which everyone is treated as human beings, or is there a class-based social structure in which some are 'elites' and the rest are 'less worthy', based on whatever value metric (nobility, wealth etc)
- How selfish or selfless are the people in the society
Its not so very different than how you determine the nature of friends, relatives, people around you, really...
