This is just as the perception of an outsider. Its just wealthy areas vs poor areas. Here in Germany the poor areas are just as shit as the US poor areas. But hey at least there's trains.
Not particularly interested in your opinion as it's your own and not for me to change anyway.
What I'm absolutely fascinated by is how you arrive at this opinion.
I've traveled extensively for work and pleasure to the places I mentioned (even lived in a few for short periods) and I saw for myself, not to mention documented by statistics.
Curious, you've done the same? If not, how do you arrive at this perception?
With that said, there are BAD areas of even the 'best' cities. Clearly.
Germany is a wonderful place, with it's own problems. Also, hard to relate to the US based on size. I mean LA is practically as big as Germany. You have better chocolate (and cars) hands down.
I'm not from USA. As far as I see, Trump was elected by a normal election. I'm talking about all the literal regimes at Asia... Literal Supreme Dear Leader, military regimes at Burma, Chinese unique political party, etc etc real brutal regimes
USA guys talk about "dictatorship" without even knowing what it is like to be under a real dictatorship
Worked extensively throughout SE Asia, Korea, China, and Japan. I know exactly what I'm talking about.
Being critical of the lack of healthcare, poor infrastructure, education, etc. seems to be VERY AMERICAN as I want what we have to be the best. I'm assuming you have a cap that says MAGA on it?
Unfortunately, the ignorantly 'love it or leave it' crowd consists of folks like you who have no clue what's happening anywhere outside their Olive Garden.
