IMHO USA is a bad example on social panics, seeing as that's the local culture going all the way back to the literal witch hunts.
As such it's not really the state/federation doing the hunts, they're just reflecting societal customs instead of rising above them (which was Hegel's idea, iirc).

@iju@mastodon.social @mischi2000@social.inselleben.chat @Gargron@mastodon.social Witch huntings were happening in #England as well during the 'English Civil War' especially when Matthew Hopkins (The Witchfynder General) was operating around ! I am not an American but as an observer from a far away continent, Americans are very 'OK' with violence, blood and gore but very queasy about nudity and anything which implies nudity or any kind of saxuality ! It's the other way around in #Europe somewhat
