re: Is America a shithole country?

The Brits have the worst teeth in the world...even worse than Arkansas or Tennessee. So, they can suck it.

It's like reddit, everyone there has severe trump derangement syndrome and their political takes are very, very progressive.

They always say "Once you get outside of Manhattan, Beverly Hills or Silicon Valley, America is third-world." And, you know, I can't really argue with them.

Right

Agreed. However, we have always taken pride in being a cut above. We are no longer.

Excellent post. I’ve been to a lot of European countries and they’re all worse off than us from what I’ve seen, although we are rapidly moving to catch up with them. They should be kissing our feet they don’t live under the third reich.

5) They love to talk about how poor most of America is. They always say "Once you get outside of Manhattan, Beverly Hills or Silicon Valley, America is third-world." And, you know, I can't really argue with them.

Those people are ignorant and so are you if you believe it.

1. People who like to throw around 3rd world either love to exaggerate to extremes and/or heavily underestimate just how poor many people in 3rd world countries actually are. The poor and middle class in this country are still far better off compared to people in many other places in the world including some European countries. The irony that these fricks probably think of themselves of being “open-minded” when statements like this show how sheltered they are.

2. Also “the country isn’t as well off outside the big cities” exists in pretty much every decent sized western country in the world. It’s not something unique to the US.

3. As usual Europeans don’t know or understand the scale of the US. They only seem to know the big cities. Plenty of smaller towns are pretty well off with low crime rates and high incomes. Plus lots of smaller cities that aren’t great but are still FAR from 3rd world bad.

Plus these types of people put lots on stock into things like the UN’s Human Development Index and Quality of Life metrics. Even places like Alabama and Mississippi rank much higher on these things compared to the vast majority of actual 3rd world countries. I know because I got into with some dumb arse European a while back on this exact topic. He then backtracked and said “2nd world” before he ghosted me

Texas is bigger than most of Western Europe.

A lot of Europeans seem to have a hard time grasping the scale. Heard some humorous stories about some of them thinking they can tour places like NYC, FL, and California all in a few days time.

Of course many of them know this but I still don’t think they get that the US is like multiple countries in one. The biggest states have bigger populations and economies then many other countries in the world. The resources are going to be larger but the issues are going to be more complex.

I get the feeling they’re just bitter about the US. They see the US as “backwards” because of the political differences and American culture (more individualistic). And they hate that this revulsive (to them) country has so much influence.

I could not possibly give any less of a frick about what some Eurotrash dogshit has to say about this country. Europe is full of pussies whose ancestors would have been wiped off the map by the Germans if not for the USA.

The wolf doesn't concern himself with the opinions of the sheep.

The best place to move to Europe isn't the UK or Sweden, it is Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Cool people, chill atmosphere and everyone speaks English well.
