The USA really isn’t all that bad. Yes it has serious issues (such as the whole abortion issue), but it’s still a decent country. It is in NO way a “shithole”. Be glad you’re not living in North Korea.
Tell that to all the Indigenous people who died or lost their culture to genocide, and the black slaves who experienced the same. Tell that to every poor American currently suffering and dying needlessly to preventable illness due to America’s inhumane health care system.
As for those living in North Korea, I’m sure they’d be doing a smidgen better if the US hadn’t first bombed the place to near-oblivion, not to mention all the sanctions in the decades following.
But I’ll end my spiel here, if that’s your wish.
Look, I’m not trying to undermine the colonization, treatment of the Indigenous population as well as enslavement of Africans (which both honestly deeply upset me), and the bad healthcare. Those are very serious issues. I’m just trying to say America isn’t completely bad and is nowhere near as bad as other countries. Sorry if I sounded like I was undermining anything. I also take back the “at least it isn’t North Korea” bit. I’d say more like “At least you don’t live in Medieval Europe.”
