USA! USA!! 💥

Number one!

But I think the only and actual problem is education. The rest are just consequence. It's not for nothing than when the rest of the world thinks about an american, they see a fat dumbass bigot idiot. I know a lot of people are not like that, but it does not matter. As a country, this is how everybody sees you.

And for once, fix the root cause of the problem, not the symptoms.

I can't fathom how anyone is against free healthcare. CHILDREN have to go without healthcare FFS CHILDREN. How can anyone justify that?

And americans will tell you it's because they are better or different.

Honestly FOX News might be the organization, which helped the term "socialism" the most in the US. When you call every good policy "socialist" then people wanting that will call themself that.

Europe doesn't have socialism. This list is not even close to good. Europe is like, behind what I want. I want socialism. I want to nationalize big tech. Europe wants no part in nationalizing their tech. I don't want mandatory PTO, I want a union and representation and a funded pension. I want publicly ran and funded groceries and hospitals, not just universal health insurance. I'm a former libertarian and I want these things btw. It's not hard to convince a libertarian to be socialist. Europe is too capitalist for me.

Also 'developed' and 'non-developed' is modern colonial language. The original post reeks of liberalism. Not against you OP, I just hate looking to Europe for the future of America. America has fundamental issues that make it not really suited for european capitalism, but if the DSA has their way in the next decade or two we might have some good socialism in the US.

I'm convinced the reason is "We can't do that, black people would get it. White people have the good jobs and will get that all on their own."

Hungary also did that under Orbán, but we were told once we will have enough "national billionaires", the money will start to trickle down. When the billionaires arrived and we asked when the money will finally trickle down, we were told money is not everything, and we're acting like "spoiled children".

I'd watch US shows where sometimes people would get fired on the spot in in a dramatic way and thought it was just artistic license until I realized Americans literally have no protections and can be fired at will for no reason at all. It is horrifying. What's even worse is that people celebrate this as a "fluid labor market" , as if placing people under chronic insecurity is a virtue.

The corrupt gop fuckers will recreate the commie folk devil that worked during the cold war, they will claim communism will end America they will turn voting for social democracy into national crisis

They are always lying

Yes, but the first one is not true.

Tired of calling what countries like Australia and Germany have as "universal healthcare".

It isn't. Simply isn't.

In the case of Australia most familiar with. It's a weird mix of public and private, with most medical costs covered under a private subsidy model, where your health service can change whatever, and you have to pay the gap between the Medicare rebate and what the services charges.

Doesn't cover dental, has a small rebate for physio and other allied health (again, private providers, public rebate) and covers a basic check up for eyes every 3 years only, but doesn't cover most optical.

The hospital system is also an absolute mess of a two-tiered system I won't get into here.

It's not fucking universal and I'm sick of people pretending like it is. It's just kilometres better than the USA, which is the lowest bar ever.

The tax system and healthcare system are genuinely fucked in the US. Both could be simplified greatly and benefit people, but those in the small handful of decision making power to do benefit from keeping it complex. The IRS is spineless, and private health insurance is disgusting.

It's because you have the most capitalist country, so you are number 1 in exploitation. Congratulations 👍🎉

Lol.

We got fed so much propaganda about this country growing up. Basically North Korea Lite.

I wouldn't call the US developed. There is development, with the sky scrapers, mega companies and billionaires, but there are also palaces built in South Africa, North Korea and Turkmenistan. North Korea and Turkmenistan have better infrastructure than the US. But I wouldn't call insane poverty rates, insane inequality, autocracy, oligarchy, insane incarceration rates, corrupt government and legal system, institutionalized racism and still legal slavery any form of modern development.

Ah yes but the US has the "freedom" to not have all of those things.

Does all this winning start to hurt eventually?

Good, America sucks.

OK, so how many of those developed countries do we have to invade to pump our numbers up?

You want society to treat you like you belong to it?! You stupid fucks.

"Anyone who doesn't have to suffer is a slight against me because I had to suffer at some point!" Fucking assholes.

Guess what? I inherited money. It didn't make me stop advocating to help people or tax those with the most. These fuckers are inhuman.

But, honestly, we have to stop the socialist threat that will destroy our country because they want to feed people and that's UNAMERIKAN!

So you say, that the US has the purest capitalism while everyone else has diluted it with some soviet communism?

Yeah but we have mythical Freedom! and the whole world except us is mythically oppressed by socialist tyranny!

They sell it to a third of the population, and those people rabidly vote for corporate USA every year.

It's interesting that Japan is below the US in the main rankings. I feel more free here in almost every regard than I did as an adult in the US.

Freedom to starve

America has always been behind the rest of the world. They still do slavery for fuck sake.

I need sources.
