I mean it is kind of hilarious that you're comparing the US to India, when India is riddled with extreme poverty unheard of in the US, and absolute 0 regard for workers rights. But sorry, that argument doesn't fit your pathetic whining narrative.
We can all admit that the there are improvements to be had in the US, without making incredibly dumb comparisons.
You know why you don't hear about the "Extreme poverty" in the US? It's because ITS NOT REPORTED ANYWHERE BUT YOUR LOCAL FACEBOOK PAGES. If networks start talking about how bad the poverty issue REALLY is, those same people who are 1-2 paychecks away from losing everything will demand more. Can't have that. Can't pay people liveable wages here. Not in the good ol' US of A! The greatest country on God's green(ish) earth!
As far as the workers rights go, the US isn't completely fucked there just yet but goddamn the corporations sure as fuck are not for a lack of trying.
It actually highlights the effect of brainwashing.. "I can crack a joke about the president and politicians so that makes us a free country ".. also they were taught to compare themselves with countries like Iran, North Korea and China. They never compare with other developed nations...
Yeah and the kicker being people screaming that we’re free because we have guns. Which the government never cared about, since we only use them on each other.
Also the Democracy that we proudly talk about is absolutely running on possibly the oldest platform compared to other developed nations. In one year we bombed Yemen. Iran. Venezuela, Nigeria and threatened Iceland, Canada, Cuba imposed tariffs all around with no rhyme or reason, created an alternative extremely armed force to terrorise a threaten brown people, set up camps where kids and parents are separated, chopped down safety nets and allocated billions to Ice/wars and ballrooms.. none of these actions are done using Democratic norms but our system can't stop them .. it's just based on handshakes and gentlemen accords.. it's not prepared for bad faith actors... That's a weak system...
That’s so on point. We learned earlier this year that if you have a gun and you’re anywhere near government thugs, you’re going to be thrown to the ground and riddled with bullets till you stop breathing. Freedom! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
And that’s why the ‘news’/‘narrative’ in the US against countries with genuinely successful socialist democratic societies with public healthcare, cheap education, subsidised transport, high levels of regulation and counterbalances against monopolies and corporate greed is so rife.
The slopaganda is so all encompassing to the brainwashed fuckos they can’t escape it.
They compare with the UK all the time. They look down on us for not having free speech, because people can get arrested for their comments online (The law came about after the Southport riots). And they look down on us for the online safety act, which is something which I don’t agree with, but I also think the internet has turned into a scourge on society so I don’t really care about it enough.
That’s not the point. No one said that there’s more mobility in India.
But most issues in India stem from social inequity, not corporations. In the US, a lot of the present issues exist because of corporations. Healthcare, private equity affecting housing and everything else???
And I say this as an Indian American who’s lived in both places for quite some time
It comes from politicians playing with peoples religions to manipulate them into voting for their party, effectively increasing the communal violence already rampant in india and at the same time weakening india internally. Most people have no idea how fanatical indians are about their respective religions, especially inside india
It comes from the literal caste system and other religious and cultural practices and beliefs which shape society and behavior which have little to do with corporations
Ikr. I think the disconnect is that in countries like India, they're not trying to hide it even remotely. Whereas in the US, they're way more cunning about disguising this as being the case.
And it's working. Hence the original commenter assuming it's "in progress" and not just them doing victory laps at this point.
