The so-called best shouldn’t compare itself to others, it should compare itself to itself from yesterday. And in those regards, we are descending rapidly, especially for those of us LGBTQ+, women and minorities.
Do not forget how fast Saudi Arabia and other countries changed from their liberal views to literal theocracies.
I'm European. We don't have favelas, as far as I've seen. The destitute in my country, and there are plenty, have far higher living standards than in yours.
Take a little drive round Memphis, or New Orleans. The parts you wouldn't normally go.
It is my opinion, having travelled a little in Africa and India, that the slums in some of your cities are directly comparable to slums in those places.
I don't have high hopes that this is a productive conversation. Please just know that it's not a uniquely American thing to view conditions on the ground in your country as "third world".
Just ask Cubans who moved to the US if the US is a third world dictatorship or Cuba they left from.
And repeating nuff said like a 5 year old, doesn't make you sound smart. At least try to be more original if you go for a cheap jab.
And I'm sure some gusanos would say that. They never bother to mention their families were land "owners" and enslaved people, of course.
That's what statistics are for. Check how many people from Africa try to move to the US, and then how many people from the US try to move to Africa, to get a fucking perspective.
>So who are you, or they, to say otherwise?
I'm the person with the correct arguments.
> I was mocking your bad post
You don't interact much with people IRL do you? If this is what mocking is to you, repeating what others say. You need to work on your mocking. And on your thought process.
