True that many countries may find themselves lacking to the USA. Americans meanwhile don’t compare themselves to anybody, completely ignoring all the countries which are leaps and bounds ahead of us in terms of social justice & public welfare.
Comment on Is America Really That Bad?

No, it’s not nearly as bad as depicted.
The USA, for all its faults, remains the standard against which other countries measure themselves (and find themselves lacking). That’s why every embarrassment and mistake gets blasted across the international media.

Thank you for demonstrating my point.

You’re just demonstrating the fact that you don’t have a leg to stand on.

No, I’m pointing out that even your objection is framed as a comparison between countries.

I thought that Germany had pretty much displaced us as standard-bearer in Europe's eyes. Would any European care to educate me on that?

Do you speak languages other than English fluently?
What are you basing this on?
charonn0@startrek.website 1 year ago
The international newsworthiness of any American embarrassment and shortcoming.

Why?
Are you going to compare your country’s favorably to the US on that point?
