    Woah imagine living in third world country , north korea , or a war torn county . Spoiled brats always acting like they got it worse not saying the usa doesn’t suck or anything but it isn’t at all the worst place not by a long shot

      It’s the other side of american exceptionalism - one they realise they are not the best, they start believing they are at least the worst.

      I live in a third world country and I have a crappy stressful job but unlike an american, my garbage wage can afford me an apartment to rent, pay the bills, eat well and save something or use it for entertainment. Unlike the American situation, since they can’t afford to pay their mortgages, student loans, credit card debts, predatory corporations, insane house costs, disgustingly expensive medical bills and other bullshit living expenses. The American dream is dead and, crime and murder rates aside, third world countries allow people to have a less miserable life, in case you were not aware of how bad the situation was there.
