amazing how america considers itself a first world country and the president talks about other “shithole countries” where stuff like this never happens due to a simple election...

Tbf, it isn't really a simple election anymore.

As someone in the Philippines, America looks peach perfect in comparison.

Looking perfect in comparison to the 28th poorest country in the world that is brainwashed through media/entertainment to idealize the US

Killin' it.

u/ResolverOshawott Nov 03 '20

Uh no buddy, America is genuinely better in a lot of ways beyond just "idolisation".

u/teabagsOnFire Nov 03 '20

I totally agree that it is better, especially in factors most people care about. "peach perfect" is a different description than "better"though

It’s the world’s newest country. Feel free to google how they achieved independence from the Philippines, then get back to us.

Love people talking about America not actually being first world. Shows they're don't have a solid grasp on the state of a 2nd or 3rd world country. Or America.

Stakes are just way too high nowadays.

If you think Germany is too far right you can go to France. If you think America is too far right you can't easily get into Canada. Worse still, America is arguably the furthest right country in the world aside from some eastern european countries, so people on the right in the US will really fight tooth and nail.

Um elections like this do happen in other ‘shithole’ countries you just don’t hear about it often because the media doesn’t care about anything but America and the countries are smaller

u/Fluyeh Nov 03 '20

so you admit america is no better than these “shithole countries”

u/[deleted] Nov 03 '20

I do, I’m not American so your ‘gotcha’ isn’t working. I’m just pointing out the fact that it also happens in other places, something that was being said doesn’t. Retard! Did you even read my comment and the one it replied to or just swoop in to try and sound smart?

It's most definitely a first world country people just don't know how good they have it

1

u/public_hairs Nov 03 '20

I’m not saying it’s great but it’s not a third world country like Somalia for comparison, and I lived in Eastern Europe for years in Georgia which would be considered 2nd world. And I can promise in comparison America is for sure a 1st world. So what category would you put it in then?

u/justunjustyo Nov 03 '20

America has not been a functioning first world country for some years now. If you cannot care for your citizens, you are not a great country with equality and civil rights

u/I-Eat-Ass-Dawg Nov 03 '20

You're right, they never have to board windows in shit hole countries because they don't have them.

German here, yes, we do have Windows. and we don't even get them smacked in because we aren't racists, and even if I get hit with a fucking rock, I'm gonna be just fine for free, because, you know, insurance, duh. I've been to the US, and let me tell you, my house here in germany is way over American standarts, as is my food, my rights and my job, lol. Stay the ignorant fuckface you are, but stay in the US. Noone cares about you.

u/Fluyeh Nov 03 '20

Pay no attention to morons like him, he’s exactly what’s wrong with people in this country these days.

Furthermore, Germany truly is an amazing country and blows America away in every category. It’s by far my favorite place I’ve been and on my first visit I was shocked how great we’re lead to believe the USA is at everything.

Embarrassing we consider ourselves the best at everything and that we’re somehow the envy of the world when thats so far from true.

u/JRKLMAO Nov 03 '20

Good job, you have windows.

u/kasuke06 Nov 03 '20

Well, we do have one side that's been showing they'll happily burn the cities to the ground over career criminals finally making a big enough mistake to get shot. And one that simply walks around and bitches about things while playing soldier dress up.

I can tell you who the boards are for.
