Jose posted:the most brutal police states that have ever existed would be so jealous of the american police lol you can't even bribe american police for petty poo poo to leave you alone. like, you could, but then they would still turn you in and probably get to keep the money and get a promotion.

I think we can agree that though the US isn't impoverished enough to be a third world country (I've been to a couple although not the bad bits, even in Bangalore which is classy by Indian standards I saw a man dying from disease/hunger on the street) its almost uniquely stupid and barbaric for a developed country.

I think the problem is that the term "third world" is antiquated and useless.

America sucks as a society but our imperialism allows the rest of the Global North to maintain their high living standards exploiting the Global South our trade networks and military protection In conclusion, Hegemony is a land of contrasts

there’s a hilarious documentary about college students who go and live in central America and almost die of starvation until they learn to put lard into their beans. This said, America is still large and I’d imagine there are some Hill people living in relative squalor. The difference is in America you can drive to a major metropolitan area less than a 100 miles away and feel like poo poo for having so little
