Been seeing a lot about how the government passes shitty laws, lot of mass shootings and expensive asf health care. I come from a developing nation and we were always told how America is great and whatnot. Are all states is America bad ?

    That’s a cop-out. You’ve accused me of being a chauvinist. Either you have a reason for that or you don’t.

    If you do, spill it.

    If you don’t, then you’re just hurling insults.

      The USA, for all its faults, remains the standard against which other countries measure themselves (and find themselves lacking).

      This statement - do you not see how that’s an incredibly arrogant and patronising thing to assert?

          “What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence” (Hitchen’s razor), you made the claim.

            Chauvinism is defined as “excessive or prejudiced support for their own cause or group”. Excess and prejudice are incorrect bases for an opinion.

            And if I’m not wrong, then what is your objection?
