    That probably has more to do with like 50% of the population believing vaccines will kill you than it does with COVID procedures, or the entire west would be as bad off as the US

        I would argue it's in a league of it's own: "Third-world-by-choice"

        I'll cut Hawai'i and Puerto Rico some slack as they are occupied nations, so they're moreso exploited against their will. Same with the rest of the global south. They are over-exploited: we can see this in history because the Arab World and North Africa used to be the big "wealthy" zone. Ehh, maybe Mediterranean Europe too (not that I'm biased :anti-italian-action:). So we know that they are not poor because of the /pol/ fantasy that white people are the only people worth a damn.

        But what excuse does the US have for things being so bad? "Muh diversity"? Then why is Cuba still kicking DESPITE the embargo? Switzerland has three official languages and consistently ranks as one of the best countries for QoL? If you mean to imply that black people are some kind of bad luck charm, you are delusional. At best, one could say they are winning some arbitrary moral victory about "freedom", but that's rich coming from the country that's the ringleader of the 14 eyes.
