There is no US policy of pre-emptive international military action in support of its own self-defence. If there was, Iran and North Korea would be toast by now.
There are also no higher levels of "interpersonal violence, political polarisation, social alienation and economic inequity" in the US than in many other countries, including Australia. Indeed, with the exception of certain drug-related crime, the US is far safer the the UK and Australia and has a far stronger sense of national identity.
If you want to rant against America, at least get your facts straight.
