  • Sorry, bullshit.

    It’s always “we’re the beat, we’re the best at X” whereas the reality is that you have rampant poverty, institutionalized racism (hello US police forces!), shit and unaffordable healthcare with (apparently) doctors who put their religion over their Hippocratic oath, unaffordable education which doesn’t get you a good job anymore anyways, you don’t work to live, you live to work, you have almost no vacation days whatsoever, you have no free days agter when your baby is born,you can’t do anything anymore without a car, you have no freedoms, but they convinced you that parading around military style weapons is freedom somehow. You teach little children at school that sex is wrong, but it’s good to knoe what to do when the next mass murderer visits your school again. Your police is racist, uneducated, inept, and corrupt… I could go on, but you get the idea.

    Sorry, America sucks, to paraphrase someone else in this thread: it’s a third world country wearing the mask of a first world country.


  • America is like a third world country in a first world mask.

    That’s exactly how I’ve considered it since like 30 years ago.

    Until a few years ago, I’ve lived in Mexico for 2 decades and I’ve always felt more afraid for my safety while in the US visiting, than in Mexico, even though there we had (and still have) a drug war. There are less guns in the street there and as long as you stay out of drugs I’d claim you’re safer there than in the US.

    I’ve been in many poor places in Mexico but never have I seen so much homelessness and neglect as I’ve seen in the US.

    Also access to medical healthcare is better there. Almost all doctors there studied in the US, they got loads of free or cheap medications and consults. It’s always “funny” to see the same people wanting a border wall going to Mexico for cheap healthcare.

    Don’t get me wrong,Mexico is far from perfect (like every country) but given the choice: Mexico or USA, I’ll choose Mexico every time.

    With the rampant corruption there as well, I consider the US more a third world country than I do Mexico. Viva Mexico!
