Just one example.

Where's the data that links prescriptions, addictions or lack of community to violence and/or extremism?

There's plenty of extremism in Europe, even Sweden have a right-wing, populist government now. Poland had "LGBT Free" areas. Yet the murder rate in the USA is what, 10 times the rate of most European countries?

That's easily answered by looking to see if the US has rates of mental illness above other countries that at least correlate with the increased murder rate. They don't. Also, mental illness rarely causes violence. It's gun and the gun culture that make the US different.
