Look at this guy who thinks the USA invented racism and holds a monopoly on it.

[–] MadBob@feddit.nl 37 points 10 months ago

The comic is very America-centric if you look at the problems mentioned in totality.

[–] butwhyishischinabook@lemmy.world 30 points 10 months ago

In Europe it's just sparkling "let them down in the Mediterranean and/or make sure they stay in their own neighborhoods."

I was going to say... I don't see the UK anywhere on this map

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 6 points 10 months ago

Not the same level of problems with mass shootings in the UK. And whilst I take the point about healthcare it's a very different kind of issue, and if you get triaged conveniently it can work out for you... Really just depends what you need and how old you are, but at least having a baby and keeping it alive is fairly well covered

I bet they would hold a monopoly on it if they could. Damn I wish they did

I mean, the UK has 2 out of 3 of those. And most countries have the violent racism.

Change "shooting" to "knifing" and its 3 for 3. The UK has a huge hooliganism problem. The country is rife with domestic violence. But no (non-police) guns!

Most countries have racism, some have violent racism... and there are some in which terrorist organizations like KKK are freely roaming the streets and are ok for some reason.

Anyway, it feels wierd to speak shit of the USA when there currently are countries actively working on ethnic cleansing.

[–] steel_nomad@lemmy.world -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yep. You dumbfucks want to talk about "muh racism"? Be Uyghur or Palestinian or STFU. That's REAL shit.

[–] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 6 points 10 months ago

Just because a problem is worse somewhere else, doesn't make the problem trivial here.

[–] Cypher@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Most countries have less violent racism now than at any other point in history.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago

That bar you're bragging about stepping over is subterranean.

RIP Alaska, Hawaii, and Michigan's Upper Peninsula

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The US is far from the only country with violent racism. In terms of healthcare, the privatization. The Canadian healthcare system is being increasingly enshittified by conservatives up here, too.

The Canadian healthcare system is being increasingly enshittified ~~by conservatives~~ up here, too

FTFY

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

The conservatives are the main ones behind it, and as usual everyone believes it is failing on its own due to 'free means shit' and not realizing just how deep conservative shit is being encrusted into it.

When we go down we are taking all of you with us.

[–] Fergie434@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Don’t worry we know

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

Nah bro, trump try will nuke the superbowl for his false flag and accidentally have his ketchup covered fingers slip and push to many buttons and nuke the rest of the USA leaving the rest of the world and native American reservations in tact

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)
