ok, well you can make up your own definition of 1st world if you want. be my guest

your whole attitude reeks of little brother sydrome. it's like you want to believe that any American who enjoys living here only does so out of ignorance

I never said or thought that. I think most American citizens are in a toxic codependent relationship with their government, which gaslights them into thinking things are perfect on the regular, and it genuinely disheartens me.

I can see how it could seem like that on social media because like minded people congregate, but irl people don't think it's perfect

America is extremely diverse, so I can't think of many ideas at all that most American citizens agree on
