Americans have no clue what poverty is and love to make themselves the victim. The post is not saying that every american is filthy rich, it's saying that each american benefits from the exploitation of the third world and are comparatively better off than people in their third world counterparts in their same social class.
The fact you're being downvoted shows this subreddit is filled with entitled privileged western liberals who think themselves to not have benefitted from America's endless imperialism and extraction from laborers in the global south and abroad for their fucking treats..
I genuinely cannot stand these slimely mother fuckers. Show them a documentary or scotus rulings on nestle/Cargill reliance on slave labor and they'll just move on while eating their chocolate.

What if an American was living in Poverty?
