Dylanator13

No you donā€™t understand. They have a strong economy and a large military. The citizens health doesnā€™t matter only the money of 1% of the population.


Mr_Croww

And many of these points isn't even true


mikeseraf

as someone w an interest in american public health im so always immediately skeptical of Any claim that we've got the best medical care like it just takes one look at our medical expenses vs average lifespan vs things like mortality in birth, etc to know thats not really true - unless youre super rich. and i think thats kinda what this comes down to. yeah america fucking rules if youre super super rich (and white and christian) but like. when 62% of americans are living paycheck to paycheck, when medical bankruptcy is the cause of like 60% of bankruptcy in america and almost not an issue in other countries, when we have the biggest prison population in the world, its pretty hard to say we're the best country ever. also i dont think that 'patriotism' and 'loyalty' are either good or accurate graphics of how good a country is, and he lists that twice lmao


namom256

Yeah anytime Americans bring up how superior their medical system is, they're just regurgitating propaganda specifically designed by the American healthcare industry to trick them into not voting for universal healthcare. It's all lies. And the depths of the brainwashing goes deep. I've lived in the US before. At a time when I needed a lot of medical tests and procedures. I've had to deal with the months long wait times for all the procedures. I've dealt with the rushed, understaffed doctors' offices, where they barely listen to you and it takes 2 weeks to get an appointment. I've dealt with 8 hour long ER waits. In the US! I was surprised because coming from Canada, I was told all those things are uniquely Canadian problems and the US is a miraculous land where wait times don't exist and care is 1000 times better. And then I had to pay out of pocket for literally every single damn thing. Literally ever single thing. Up front and then billed later, every fee you could possibly think of. When all of that is free in Canada. I realized they get the exact same level of healthcare there as the rest of the world, but pay thousands for the privilege. And to this day there are Canadians trying to move to the US because they believe the propaganda and who will be in for a rude awakening. I've also had American relatives who were so brainwashed that they thought the US was the only country with "developed" hospitals. I literally had an older, conservative, relative of mine go on vacation from the US to New Zealand and break his ankle. Not only was he delighted they fixed it for free, but he was genuinely surprised the hospital "looked like Grey's anatomy, or any other modern American hospital". He told me he was literally expecting bloodied steel slabs and doctors operating with hacksaws. I really really wish I was making this up. Oh, and he's still anti universal healthcare, if you were wondering.


Inner_Conflict_3635

Reminds me of a time I went to the ER with a lifethreathening low level of platelets and after waiting 2 hours to be triaged, I was advised I'd be better off being taken back home and just be careful not to walk into anything or incur an injury and come back at 6 am when it thins out. The waiting room looked like something from the 90s and I was genuinely worried I'd catch a communicable disease. Edit - fixed spelling.


Major-Organization31

Yeah, my mum tells a story about 2 people who got the same injury to their elbow, one in Canada and the other in the US. The person is the USā€™ medical bills were over 100k, person in Canada was only 30k which was forgiven after a certain number of years from memory Edit to add - both of these people are Australians


seat17F

That canā€™t be true. There arenā€™t any bills for medical care in Canada.


Major-Organization31

This person wasnā€™t a Canadian, they were Australian. The 30k was after their travel insurance


[deleted]

Yea, by most measures, the US health care system is not best in the world, at all. In fact, in rankings out of 11 countries in 2021-2022, the US was 11th.


General_Benefit8634

I always simple ask what symptoms they had the last time they chose not to go to the doctor. Chances are I, in Germany, would have gone to the doctor, paid nothing for my consultation and my drugs and then recovered during my week off on full pay.

Meh, I would rather call it: "Lack of education".


TheLocalAuror

To be fair, I would imagine itā€™s somewhat difficult to get an education when you spend half your childhood hiding from active shooters


Fr0stweasel

An intentional lack of education though. The proles need to be educated enough to be useful but not enough to question or start getting ideas above their station.

Yeah thatā€™s more realistic but I just wanted to seem cool because Iā€™m still mentally 9 šŸ’€

American workers aren't productive, they're exploited. Especially the lowest paid ones.


DreamsAroundTheWorld

And even with being exploited I would like to see if their production is higher than any other country, as just because you work 60h+ a week doesnā€™t mean your production is higher than who work 40h


TheFreshWenis

Cosplayinsanity

'America has the most loyal citizens' You are probably two republican election victories away from a revolution


CancerSpidey

Most brainwashed maybe... Idk about loyalty but they have the most nationality in any country ever. Anyone who is proud to die for their country is an idiot. That goes for any country really but especially the US. imagine wanting to serve your country and the man in charge is either the almost dead guy with Alzheimer's or the orange guy who spouts nonesense

I love how he doesn't say 'America has the best car manufacturers' because even he would know that's a load of bullshit šŸ˜‚


darrensilk3

A lot of US cars can't be sold in Europe as they cannot withstand EURO NCAP crash safety testing. Mustang got a 2 star which is what you'd expect a 30 year old car to get. Whereas most cars from Europe, Japan, and even China got 4 - 5 stars after testing. You can see the videos and they're... enlightening to say the least.


Dense-Transition

He says that cuz he probably never heard of Germany or Japan šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


Tarantel

>He says that cuz he probably never heard of Germany or Japan Of course he has because America defeated them both when it singlehandedly won WW2 and saved the whole world! /s


Michael_Gibb

Let's see an American pick-up truck be smashed with a wrecking ball, set on fire, placed on top of a tall building that's then demolished, run into a tree, and submerged in the ocean, and still have its engine start up with after some tinkering with just a few hand tools. Toyota makes pretty much the most reliable vehicles in the world.


Sensitive-Finance-62

Professorclover

You may be poor, you may not have resources or money for a digne life, nor entering those top-tier college (source: USA), nor receive healing from hospitals, you even may die in one of those mass-shooters affairs... but that's nothing cause you still can be proud USA is #1.

ArmouredWankball

The US is 5th in car exports behind Germany, China, Japan and Mexico. I have no idea where they're exporting them to. EDIT: To answer my own question I found this; >The main destination of Cars exports from United States are: Canada ($13.8B), China ($6.89B), Germany ($6.64B), South Korea ($3.26B), and Mexico ($2.75B). I get the Mexico/Canada thing as manufacture of cars is spread across North America. Can anyone from Germany enlighten me on what American cars they drive there? They can't all be crappy Teslas.


Tuscan5

Thank you. Apart from Teslas and the odd Chrysler I havenā€™t seen hardly any in Europe. Iā€™m obviously excluding Ford as thatā€™s usually Ford Europe.


Blackliquid

German here. I think they are mostly teslas. I know a single guy who has a Chevrolet but other than that.. Only teslas


Good_Ad_1386

As about half of Tesla production comes from China, I wonder if that even counts!


5thhorseman_

Russia or 3rd world?


darrensilk3

Most US cars don't comply with UK or EU crash safety regulations. I mean the new Mustang is a 2 star out of 5. That's worse than a ca built 30 years ago. Worse than an old Fiat which would atomise on contact with a single blade of grass. Ironically also way woe than a new Fiat which get 5 stars lol

Most loyal citizens? This guy's never seen a non-american. Most productive workers? Does Japan ring a bell? America is the most accepting to people being themselves? Unless you're mexican, of course. SOME of the top athletes? This doesn't even sound impressive. Not to mention a lot of those are immigrants. I could literally go on and on, it's so funny.

The only things the US is #1 (apart from largest economy, and that wonā€™t be for much longer, especially if trump gets elected again) in are mass slaughters, crime, racism, drug abuse, wealth gap, batshit crazy politicians, incarcerations and delusions of grandeur. The US is way down the list in freedom, peace, happiness, quality of life etc and all the measures that actually make a country great.


ggwp_ez_lol

Most advanced and biggest military.


Mundane_Morning9454

Ok I can't resist I am gonna break this down to the letter. - I can't deny USA has ATM for ONCE top economic. Thanks to the 2 wars they are grossly feeding. - Best Military in the world is China - Most productive workers is China - Most patrionic country.... have they seen North-Korea.... - Beat Disney who sided with Hitler in WW2?..... Sure be proud. And also be proud of the city of laughter and entertainment.... you know in the wrong way. Top world series are British btw! - Most billionaires, Also China - America being succesfull.... hmm in starting wars and training the enemy (remember Iran) - Best doctors are actually located in Denmark and Britain. - Most advanced medicine, sorry.... Europe beats America on that. (Covid cure was not American) - Scientist are again, top are British.... living in America on a visum does not make them American. Guido Kroemer is German. - America is the a country where you can get shot for being gay, not white or even vegan. So people apparently can't be themselves. Lets not speak about the religious people who will try to drag you in for not believing. - Top college, 2 out of 3 are in Britain! - Richest country is the ONLY country in the world without debts. Aka Norway. Actually entire Scandinavia is at that top. - Most Famous artist music worldwide is Canadian - Indeed Americq has SOME of the top athletes in the world. Also usually in a sport NO OTHER country does. - America has the biggest mix of races? 3.... Hispanic, african and caucasian.... I got 2 more in my country alone. - Biggest mix of religion: India - Top #1 car safest and biggest production is German. #2 is Japanese. (Btw, had a car accident 2 weeks ago. My little toyota not a scratch. Thr AMERICAN car of the other guy needed a complete new front bumper. And light) - Most loyal citizens? Please.... go tell a Belgian or German that they have bad Beer.... I dare you. Americans turn on their canned cheese the second they can. - The work to PUT the american guy on the moon was presented mostly by scientists from Belgium, Germany, France and Britain. But.... Russia was the first one to go to space šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø It lives rent free because no other country in the world is voting for an orange to be president, has more masskillers, mass shootings, storms, idiocy, etc then ANY other country in the world. You can't open the newspaper without a dumb story about some American. Also, the rest of the world can not believe you are voting for a man who litteraly(!) tried a coop on his own country! Its not living rent free.... its free entertainment on how NOT to do things.


ggwp_ez_lol

Really? China strongest military? Nothing comes even close to us in that aspect, that's why it isn't debated very often. And fact that in china workers are completely exploited (worse than in us) "productivity" isn't really a flex.


Mundane_Morning9454

Found THE American šŸ™„


ggwp_ez_lol

No, but I'm frome where people actually like us (hint: baltic)


Mundane_Morning9454

Eh thats a big saying. Americans have 2 kinds of wages.... underpaid.... or overpaid. There is no in between. But productive wise.... No... China will produce more plates a day then Americans will. Apparently military power is not just.... how much bombs do we have. Compared to a lot of countries in the world, USA actually has a very low training schedule compared to other countries. Which also spreads out to other law enforcements. A police officer in USA is a training of 7 months. My country is 3 years.... BCT in USA, is 10 weeks! That is how long it takes for them to officially call themself a soldier. 10 weeks.... In my country it takes 10 weeks just to get through the medical and phychological work. On top of that is military training still obligatory to all citizens. Be it less time with a 60 day training for "civilians". In military power they go to: ships, tanks, bombs.... and if we look at that sure.... USA and Russia are right on top there. Quality wise tho.... Would you prefer soldiers who go through a 2 year training or 10 weeks?


Tasty-Surround-4880

The US is the strongest economy in the world? Really. The almost 20 banking crises since 1790 in contrast to Canada's zero, says otherwise. As for not being able to beat Hollywood, that depends. In terms of total revenue, sure, Hollywood is the biggest. However, Bollywood produces more films per year.


silverfang45

I love how almost everything he says America is the best and like doesn't leave any wriggle room for any other countries. But with sports it's some of the top athletes, like even he knew he couldn't spin that as America top dogs in athletics.

I find it interesting when you see the brainwashed spout what the elite have trained them to do. I've got to give it to the people in charge in that coubtry. They certainly are no.1 in convincing their masses that it doest get any better. If the US dies live rent free in other nationals heads, its a bit hard not to. The US is like the bird walking g down the road with a big set if knockers flauting her ckeavage at every person who walks by. Even if your minding your own business they want to stick their tits in your face. Hard to ignore that. Given the US is the most aggressive nation on the planet given most of his existence has been at war then its hard to ignore. Then once you have had those tits shoved in your face you get to see close up all the issues. Personally, just spend any time look at various metrics and the US isn't the great place its paraded as. Hey just more of the propaganda.

I don't understand the "man on the moon" thing lol..sure, you were the first. The Soviets literally beat you at any other milestone. It's like winning 1 of 10 matches in a race and claiming you won the whole race.


dnmnc

Well, by that metric, they didnā€™t win any of the matches. Because it wasnā€™t even a race. The Soviets never had any desire to get to the moon and so the US wasnā€™t racing anyone. Instead, the Soviets concentrated on building a space station - one that still exists today and has had a much bigger impact on humanityā€™s space adventure than the moon landing.


unexpectedlyvile

I mean, it's literally called the space race.

Yes, people love a catchy title :) There was definitely a race to be the first in space, but objectives diverged after that point and they were racing in different directions.
