In Old Testament in book of Genesis we have the story of an envious brother who kills Abel because Abel had the grace of God.
What could stopped the envy of Cain to escalate into murder would have been a common value between Abel and Cain.
In a boxing match do you think that the loser envies the winner?
I doubt.
Why ?
We have clear value: the one that beats the other is the best.
And we got an instant feedback.
Also every participant could improve his skills.
In Cain and Abel story, Abel buys the favor of God with great sacrifices, we don't know why he is better or chosen one.
We don't have a feedback, Cain works more but receives less
Cain can't do anything to improve his relationship with God.
US is like in Cain and Abel story, you don't have a clear valuation of people, 2 old demented guys were presidents.
You don't have a feedback, you work more but your factory is closed and moved overseas.
There are opportunities in tech but you have to buy a course from university.
Interesting the pilgrims who colonized new England were a Calvinists in their theology and thought that God rewards you on this world.
So we have a Cain Abel situation, that really happened: Luigi Mangione killed United Health Alliance manager.
A disposed Cain killed the one favoured by fate, Abel.
PS.
This situation is not specific to the US. But it manifests more violent there.
