I was thankful enough to have a tandem 7th-8th grade combo of English and History teachers who taught us the value of cognitive awareness. Followed by a high school math teacher that introduced me to "A True History of the United States" because they actually gave a damn. It's far too easy to see that we are the new Roman Empire, but on a speed run.
Eh... 250 years aint a record, but given that the firmware was clearly not changed since then... -C.
State your country and how it's better than the failure of the U.S.
You can basically throw a dart at the map and hit a country better than the US in some way. The US is ranked pretty far down in just about every metric you would want in a good society.
If you think you can make that statement, you don't know shit about the rest of the world.
I called the U.S. a failure in the comment you are replying too... So you failed to answer any of the question and then tried to act like I was "blind."
You really want me to do your Googling for you to find basically ANY international country ranking?
The US is not near the top of anything other than things like most incarcerated, highest homeless population, highest opiate use , obesity rate, etc.
Wikipedia has a fairly comprehensive list of pages for various international rankings, including the original sources for you to take a look at if you actually want an answer instead of just shitposting stupid responses to comments. The US is speedrunning its way towards becoming a failed State. If you can't see that writing on the wall, then you might be illiterate.
Absolute failure of reading comprehension and trying to misdirect the conversation because you didn't want to answer the question, when you simply could have not answered at all ..
Here let me some show you a proper response to that comment.
"I'm from Canada and mothers are 2-6x less likely to die during their pregnancy here varying drastically by race"
You didn’t ask a question, you gave an unprompted command without even giving a reason for why anyone should follow it.
Not putting innocent people in concentration camps. That goes for nearly every country.
Most countries are better than the US in most regards.
What a ridiculously stupid to say to say. You know that resisting propaganda doesn't just mean going to another extreme, right?
LOL.
You name the metric, I'll show you how most countries are better than the US.
You name the imperial you mean.
/S
Wat
Failed to answer any of the question. 0/10
Which metric is important to you? The US is 10th or below in every single one.
"State your country and how it's better than the failure of the U.S."
That was what you were answering. You have not stated your country or how it was better than the failure that is the U.S.
You are just stating the U.S. isn't good, while this was already established by it being stated as a failure.
It doesn't matter what country I'm from, it's better than the US, in almost every measurable metric of happiness, prosperity, or longevity, lol.
The vagueness is the point of my answer.
It never does when people like you make this argument. How convenient.
My country is better than the US in most regards, as are most other countries in the world. Youve been brainwashed to think America number 1, but your only number one in infant mortality, gun violence, and corruption.
And yet you still won't name it, you fucking coward.
We are not number one infant mortality and corruption, you fucking dumbass. Do you even what the Transparency Index is?
You fucking bigots think you can just state ANYTHING as a fact as long as it's anti-American. It's beyond pathetic.
The US is no where near "number 1" in infant mortality. What are you basing your assertion? Anything asides from "feels"? Try actual data, you dumbshit bigot.
Gun violence, admittedly a problem, but stating we're "number 1" is just a further demonstration of your ignorance: The U.S. firearm-death rate was 13.2 per 100,000 in 2023, below Venezuela, El Salvador, Haiti, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil and several other countries.
Number one in corruption? Transparency International puts the US as 26th out of 182 countries. In case you didn't know, which is extremely likely, the lower number the less corruption.
What makes you think you just make shit up like that? Do you think it makes you MORE credible somehow? It's just a blatant statement of your incredible ignorance or maybe willing ignorance to defend your bigotry.
Is someone butt hurt their country is garbage, when they've been told again and again it's the best, most special, freest country ever? :(
Please write 10 more paragraphs crying about it, and I'll think about engaging.
