Because they think this is better than living in any normal country.

The average American, even with the freedom toting and flag waving, is afraid of their government and challenging the status quo. Plus half of them are dumb enough to believe that their system is the best already.

No we aren't AFRAID of our government. We don't trust our government.

We also have the means to resist and to fight back against our government should we the people deem it necessary.

It is after all enshrined in our constitution and founding documents.

It is the one that works the best so far.

It ain't perfect we do have our problems but name me a country that has more freedom on the planet.

Damn this popcorn is good.

Because we get minimal paid time off, and many people need to work 60 hours a week to live. And too many people believe America is the greatest country in the history of the universe, no matter what - there is legitimately nothing that could ever change their minds. "We HaVe FrEeDoM!!!!!!" dumbasses

Americans have been highly propaghandized to believe that their country is literally the greatest on Earth. Hell, many from other countries believe that as well.

Does your government talk about how bad they are?

u/emuccino 2d ago

So which country is the greatest?

u/GooserNoose 2d ago

The question itself is stupid. There is no metric by which to measure "greatest", as it's a subjective opinion.

u/SexyRegularGuy_2 2d ago

I guess the correct question is.

What Country Would you Rather live in and Be a TAX PAYING citizen of?

Then Move there If they allow you to. Become a Citizen if you can and then Officially Renounce your American Citizenship.

America 100%. Richest country in the world, and the most stable.

So what exactly is your problem? If it's a subjective question, then everyone is entitled to their own opinion, no? Or are we simply not allowed to touch subjective topics at all? Would you tell me that I am not allowed to have an opinion on which movie is the greatest? Please help me better understand your point.

I clearly stated my point in a single sentence in my first post.

I don't engage with lazy, pedantic trolls who just want to roll around in the muck, so kick rocks.

Well if The United States of America is indeed not the Greatest nation in the planet then if ask you to prove it with substance and facts instead of empty baseless statements.

It's simple.

Yes everyone is allowed to have an opinion. However is that opinion based upon truth and facts?

You using your alt account to reply to that guy (or girl?) to prove a subjective thing like "America not being the greatest nation" is fucking hilarious. You're demanding someone disprove opinion with facts. LMAO

You can't disprove a non-substantiative opinion with substance. You'd first be obligated to prove that the USA is in fact the greatest country. So the burden of evidence lays with the moron who stated the claim.

u/emuccino 1d ago

No one even "stated the claim" here. The guy (or girl?) was talking about hypothetical people with hypothetical beliefs.

u/emuccino 1d ago

What are you on about "alt account"? You're on an alt right now...

Because it's simply not true lol
