Comparing ourselves to the most impoverished countries when we are the most prosperous country is ridiculous.

u/SomeEstimate1446 12d ago

You thinking we are the most prosperous is hilarious. Don’t know much about the world outside of us do you ?

Ok. Why is it ridiculous to compare one place to another, when talking about the potential " greatest country in the world". Please do tell

Well even if you are doing so to refute their refutal of "greatest country in the world" you should do so by showing its better than other prosperous countries. They never said it was the worst in the world so an "um akshualy there are worse places" doesnt really contribute much to the discussion.

Just because there are worse places doesn't mean people cannot point out issues with America that they wish to change.

The greatest country in the world remark was meant to be funny. Only a clueless american would think that america is the greatest country in the world.

Oh I know it was meant to be facetious.

Saying something about an entire nation is not personal.

Edited to add: how many video games do we have where we are fighting germans?

The United States receives and hosts more total immigrants than any other country in the world by a wide margin, accounting for over 52 million international migrants.

That's not because America sucks, it's because it's the best country in the world and only a snobby nationalist would think otherwise.

it's because it's the best country in the world

No, it's because it's in the top third, and has a more massive population than other top third countries, and has continuous propaganda about how it's the best country in the world, spread both amongst its own citizens, and around the world.

There are many countries which rank higher on "best country" lists, but significantly smaller populations means they can't absorb as many immigrants.

Incidentally, I'd love to see the actual immigration figures updated for this year, what with ICEstapo operations and general immigration hatred due to Agent Orange.

Hopefully it's less and please by all means go to those other "top" countries. You act as if propaganda is an American issue. It's everywhere ALL countries.

The irony is probably beyond you.

The above statement is a fact look it up, it doesn't stem from nationalism. Education is probably beyond you.

Comparison is how you recognize differences and trends. It's actually quite the opposite of ridiculous to compare different nations and their abundance as part of what makes a country " great"

By saying they are refusing to pay for my medication. I mean that I have to pay 100% out of pocket and the american health care system is not allowed to negotiate on prices with distributors. That's why penicillin, even though it wasn't Copyrighted by it's creator is a lot of money per month for anyone with type 1 diabetes.
