    it’s ridiculous how much we jerk off to being the greatest country in the world ever but we can’t even have this basic quality of life feature that so many other countries have made work. fucking israel has universal healthcare! what a pathetic empire

      As someone who grew up outside the US, I can tell you that every developed country in the world casts itself as the greatest country on earth. Now, all of those countries, except the US, have most of the basics down, so there’s that.

        I have lived in 5 countries and the USA is the only one that claims this we’re the greatest bullshit all the time.

        Every country loves itself, but the USA is psychotic about it

        Not Germany.

        For once.

        And for the time being.

      It’s also ridiculous how much we jerk off to being the greatest country in the world but a man cannot admit to making sweet love to a couch.
