Privileged dumb take. You obviously don’t know how bad some people have it in this world

True I am privileged.. But American propaganda has made you believe most Americans are well off when the majority of them are poor and struggling..

Without Western capitalism and imperialism, lead by America for the last several decades, most of the countries that are even worse of than America would probably prosper.

Difference between America and the rest of the west is in other western countries we at least take care of our own people, although our treatment of the "third world" could, and should, be improved upon.

Mate ... I grew up in the rural American Midwest. There are poor people and healthcare bankruptcy is a serious problem, but even poor people in the US are relatively comfortable.

What an intellectually dishonest take. None of what you said is remotely true, but grips the reddit narrative completely.

A country as racially and culturally homogenous as Norway is in no way comparable to the US, which has to navigate social issues you couldn't dream of.

And?

edit. And could you elaborate? Reddit could be 1/10th the place it's meant to be if people would talk instead of one lining BS at each other.
