The United States is Such a Profoundly Dysfunctional Country

[ClownW0rld]

It's so messed up in so many ways. I can't even begin to describe it. Those who live in the EU/Canada should appreciate the fact that they don't live here.

How is canada any better than the usa?

"Mass shootings — where four or more people, not including the shooter, are injured or killed — have averaged more than one per day so far this year. Not a single week in 2022 has passed without at least four mass shootings."
--Washington Post, November 23, 2022

Same period in Canada has seen two mass shootings. One on June 28 of this year, and one on July 25.

Eh. Other than Germany and Nordic countries there isn't really a strong case to argue another country is superior to ours.

I am from Eu but I watch subreddits such as late stage capitalism or boring dystopia.
It looks like you live in capitalistic dystopian purgatory for me. Student debts? Parents kicking out children at 18? Students taking adderal to be more competitive? People having to work multiple jobs?

I might be biased because I do not like the US that much.

I like where I live but I still want to move out somewhere else (out of this earth would be the best lmao)

What's the alternative, North Korea and Venezuela? Nobody's fleeing capitalist nations to go live there.

You should see my family. We are soooo dysfunctional. While each of us do try to do our best, it doesn't work. We are so not normal.

Medical bills I guess

The US has a good side at least. Who made the operating system your electronic device is currently using?



But yes, once a culture starts to thrive on dysfunction, it has begun a process that could eventually end with splitting into 2. Critical and independent thinking skills seem to be absent from US schooling.

Hooray for end-stage capitalism! No one has any meaning in life, 99.990% of us exist to feed our labor into upper society :) It's so twisted

Ever been in an American psych ward before? It's absolute torture. Not only did I suffer that, but I also got saddled with $30,000 in debt. The healthcare system is broken as hell. I'm so afraid of entering the psych ward again that I'm considering killing myself, also the debt that my parents have to face (I can't pay it because I can't work),

In two years Ron DeSantis will fix the destruction the democrats have created. May take awhile though.

If you think Republicans or Democrats can and will fix the problem, then I have a bridge to sell you.
