So the Soviet Union being bad makes the U.S. good?

We're not just "imperfect". We handle a lot of things far worse than other developed nations.

Actually they aren't. It's very hard to move to another country, when you originate from a first world nation. Most nations only want refugees. If you show up from America, other nations will say "why the hell would we want you"?

Unless you are are legendary brain surgeon or the next Stephen Hawking, an American will have a tough time gaining British citizenship or whatever place you are targeting

This is true.

There's no way in hell that a country as great as the US is said to be should be lagging behind in affordable education, affordable health care, infrastructure, and minimum wage and worker's rights than other developed nations.

Priviliged Americans thinking they just have it so bad.

Privileged Americans recognizing that we have the worst healthcare system in the developed world, the highest prison incarceration rate per capita of any country, virtually no workers' rights, an electoral system that's allowed for right-wing fascists to maintain political power and drown out the voices of the people their policies, mass shootings virtually every other day, and one of the worst responses to the pandemic of any country on the planet given our wealth and resources.

But sure, we shouldn't call out the country for being shit because North Korea is worse and being better than literal bottom of the barrel hellholes is good enough for complacent Americans.

Because one of the few things the U.S. is exceptional at is marketing and advertising.

Oh yeah, and the fact that it's mostly people coming from 3rd world hellholes that the U.S. has its footprint in. It's certainly not people from developed nations coming here in droves.

Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway are a few examples of countries that treat their citizens at least better than the U.S.

But oh yeah, because most Americans have no idea what socialism is, they think those countries are socialist and socialism bad, therefore we shouldn't take any tips from them

Youll be dismissed because CE lately thinks every argument involving a comparison is whataboutism, but your experience is noteworthy.

Theres an awful lot to criticize the US about, foreign and domestic. Whether or not its outright bad, I dont know. It probably depends on whether you live there.

Due to our economic potential for the most part. Rags to riches storys are a dime a dozen here compared to most other first worlds.

So people with similar aspirations will of course gravitate here for money, frame and wealth vs anywhere else.

it's a huge country, don't believe the overly pessimistic nonsense. most people who have hard lives here would have harder lives in other places that aren't far smaller countries full of mostly ultra rich people. there's always exaggerated bullshit that is psy-ops or sheeple just repeating what they read on twitter.

this type of stuff:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/russian-backed-facebook-accounts-organized-events-on-all-sides-of-polarizing-issues-1509355801

we all know users here like that

people fall for psy-ops because they doom scroll on twitter/reddit and have no long-term perspective or willingness to read a damn book

people need to read something new, something optimistic/refreshing. here's some recommendations.

https://www.amazon.com/Enlightenment-Now-Science-Humanism-Progress-ebook/dp/B073TJBYTB

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0052REUW0

bunch of people repeat ad nauseum a bunch of negative unsophisticated bullshit that has been repeated so much that they just take it for granted without thinking about it, making it a self-fulfilling prophecy for themselves. some are just sheep, some are addicted to doom scrolling, and some are on a payroll. It's corrosive fatalism and negativity.
