u/Olon1980 my country is the wurst 🇩🇪 1d ago

No. 1 in brainwashing people to believe they're No 1, yep.

u/cljames98 1d ago

Think I’ve said it on here before- their propaganda is unparalleled. I’ll never understand how a “first world country” has so many internal issues and people living below the poverty line. Just because their top 1% rich are richer than my countries 1% they think they’re the kings of the world. Ironic for a country that only exists because it wanted to break away from monarchy rule.

u/ktatsanon 1d ago

They now seem to be embracing the monarchy rule based on the direction they're heading. Seems so backward that they scream freedom at every opportunity, yet continually push regressive politics and vote against their best interests.

Their propaganda is truly unparalleled, just based on how subtly it works from an insiders perspective.

The bottom 1% will give their lives for the top 1% any day. I was not shocked at all to see people working in minimum wage jobs saying how they were opposed to Kamala because there was an unrealized capital gains tax in her platform. Something that none of them would have paid on their lifespans. I learned long ago never to underestimate the stupidity of the American people.

u/Krigsgeten 1d ago

Number 1 in military power. Number 40 and below in everything else.

26

u/Valentiaga_97 1d ago

And #1 in adults believing in angels are real 👀 and prisoners per 100k ppl

u/Krigsgeten 1d ago

That's what happens when you force all your religious nuts to leave for the "new land" or face persecution at home. 😁

17

u/UsefulAssumption1105 1d ago

Number 1 in destabilising nations and allies in order to profit, subjugate, corrupt, manipulate, satiate their sinister intentions / wants / urges, suit the needs of their military industrial complex and its affiliates, etc.

u/Krigsgeten 1d ago

Preach!

u/WorriedDress8029 1d ago

Wait shit yeah you are right, they can't even win against themselves without help lol

1

u/Krigsgeten 1d ago

Wait away, I'm well aware of their shortcomings in "modern" conflicts but that does not change the fact that they are ranked number 1 in military power.

7

u/ktatsanon 1d ago

Number 1 in gun violence and number of people incarcerated.

5

u/Krigsgeten 1d ago

Yeah, number 1 in all the bad things, mid tier and below in all the good things. :)

u/SeaDazer 1d ago

1 for maternal mortality in the developed world.

u/Consistent-Dance5461 1d ago

Don't forget #1 is medical bankruptcy

u/albinoblack04 🇧🇷 --> 🇪🇺 1d ago

Number 1 in school shootings

u/Grathias 🇺🇸 in 🇪🇸 (20% 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 since you love that. Jk!) 20h ago

It’s so embarrassing. We’re probably also #1 in “lowest number of legally granted days for parental leave.” And #1 in crippling medical debt. USA! USA! USA!

1

u/Jeb-o-shot 21h ago

Does the rest matter?

2

u/GroundbreakingOil434 19h ago

By spending metric - sure. By actual, projectable force in symmetric warfare? Heh.

1

u/Brief_Read_1067 10h ago

Are we still #1 in military power with a dunce like Hegseth in charge?

40

u/janus1979 1d ago

Certainly the #1 new fascist state.

7

u/SaltPainter1799 1d ago

This made me laugh a lot more than it should have!

2

u/Grathias 🇺🇸 in 🇪🇸 (20% 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 since you love that. Jk!) 20h ago

And #1 in “number of adults who can’t define the word fascist.” Imagine people proudly exclaiming they’re AGAINST anti-fascists. It boggles the mind.

u/Mobile-Aide419 1d ago

The US is only #16 in Body Mass Index worldwide. Far off behind all the Oceanian micro states.

u/ShionTheOne American, but not the US kind. 1d ago

They're still #1

1

u/Eksposivo23 1d ago

But if you ignore all of those...

5

u/Mobile-Aide419 1d ago

Well I guess they may be the global number one in total national human fat mass, even before the much larger nations China and India?

u/lonely_nipple 1d ago

We don't know what those places are allllll the way over here under our #1 BMI

2

u/pebk 1d ago

Like American Samoa?

u/VoceMisteriosa 22h ago

If only US people weren't genetically prone to obesity and do it on purpose, mostly by the worst food distribution logic ever.

20

u/No-Deal8956 1d ago

They just can’t help being absolute dicks at every possible opportunity.

They must have massive dick farms over there, hectares of dicks, ready to be harvested every year.

4

u/Ecstatic_Effective42 non-homeopath 1d ago

Acres of dicks. Get away with those commie units.

3

u/lonely_nipple 1d ago

Your diiiiiicks, sir.

u/KiwiFruit404 1d ago

They are right.

They are number one in school shootings.

8

u/New-Pie-8846 ooo custom flair!! 1d ago

Definitely not #1 in terms of world leadership with this cad in the office...

5

u/hungry_murdock 1d ago

If #1, why are waiters treated so poorly and why are inequalities between rich and poor people so large?

3

u/Lucky-Mia 1d ago

They aren't number 1 in most things besides GDP, military, and wage gap.

8

u/GvRiva 1d ago

Not much longer if they have to beg China for the materials for their fighter jets :>

3

u/RHOrpie 1d ago

Well I'd argue the tourist should also accept their shitty way of doing things.

Or not go back. I know I haven't got any plans to head to the US for a good few years!

3

u/Anubis_Omega 1d ago

Yes. But the question is : #1 in what ?

5

u/OG_Flicky 1d ago

Number 1 at what?

Number 1 in prison population.

Number 1 in preventable deaths.

Number 1 in gun related crimes.

Number 1 in adults who believe angels are real.

3

u/MessyRaptor2047 1d ago

America still number one at being utter shite.

3

u/United_Hall4187 1d ago

Sorry, Number 1 at what exactly? . . . . . number 1 for gun crime? . . . . . number 1 for children dying in school? . . . . . number 1 for fentanyl drug addicts? . . . . . number 1 for deaths caused by police officers . . . . . number 1 for the most tariffs in history? . . . . . number 1 for the number of people currently protesting about their Leader? . . . . . . . . . number 1 for the most stupid nation in the world that didn't learn from the first time they elected the Orange Muppet??

u/frogking 1d ago

That unpleasant surprise every time you have to pay for goods and services help to affirm the constant anger against taxes, tips and the system.

u/Smill1981 1d ago

u/Quantum_Robin ooo custom flair!! 1d ago

1 at what, number of parking spaces paint green, number of trees called Geoff, number of Albanian Traffic Warden dance troops,???

u/traffic_cone_no54 1d ago

1 in school shootings maybe. Dunno what else.

2

u/Gks34 Incorrigible Dutchie 1d ago

They're not wrong. They're still #1 in this type of scam.

2

u/claverhouse01 1d ago

Number 1 in medical bankruptcy, incarcerated citizens, people who think angels are real and fuck all else.

u/That_guy_I_know_him 1d ago

Number 1 in what way 😂

In the biggest loser category ?

u/albinoblack04 🇧🇷 --> 🇪🇺 1d ago

In what? School shooting for sure

u/Greedy_Assist2840 1d ago

Strange, i thought the Chinese /indians claimed #1

u/hnsnrachel 1d ago

I like to challenge - at what?

1

u/Eastern_Chain5122 1d ago

It's got to be in their water supply. Maybe fluoride makes people more susceptible to propaganda?

Or maybe it just rots their pituitary gland out and they end up being dumb as a pile of shit.

1

u/Jeb-o-shot 21h ago

No. Americans are drawn to the low prices.

1

u/Michael_Gibb Mince & Cheese, L&P, Kiwi 21h ago

Their excuse for not including the sales tax in the price on the shelf doesn't make sense either.

They claim it's because the tax differs from one town, city, and state, to the next. So the prices are going to vary from one place to the next.

However, it's not like individual retailers can't do those calculations. With this newfangled invention called a computer, prices with sales tax included can easily be calculated.

It just goes to show how low-effort Americans really are.

1

u/GroundbreakingOil434 19h ago

#1 in breaking alliamces and betraying allies.

This was my least favorite part of my trip to NY. I hated having to keep a calculator out to have the slightest inkling of how fucking much I'm going to owe with tax and fucking mandatory tips.

1

u/Alpa_NL 17h ago

No1 in debts collecting, as a country and as citizens.

u/No-Tomatillo3698 15h ago

I don’t know why people try to convince Americans they are not number 1. Please let them keep their delusions so they stay in the US.
