    I fail to see what about this is not factual.

    Edit: y’all I was making a joke about the second comment, I thought that would be obvious

      • USA is not the most diverse country (its ethnic fractionalization index is below that of Moldova - https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/most-racially-diverse-countries or https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_ranked_by_ethnic_and_cultural_diversity_level)
      • Out of listed countries, the only one that exhibits clear signs of ethnonationalism is Russia (although I have to admit to be fairly ignorant on state of things in Argentina)
      • Lumping Russia with its former colonies screams “ignorance”
      • Grabbing a bunch of countries from the oldest trade route and thinking they are gonna be ethnically homogenous echoes the previous scream
      • Me spending time on this post is a clear evidence of procrastination
      • Poland has universal healthcare, walkable cities, affordable intra- and intercity public transportation, and provides free higher education to its citizens
      • Moldova provides free education to its citizens and has universal healthcare
      • Even Russia has a still working universal healthcare (terrible by many standards, but still beats US) and provides higher education to its citizens
      • Argentina has universal healthcare and offers free higher education to it’s citizens
      • Why am I still procrastinating? Send help!

      USA is a dominant superpower though.

        Technically they didn’t say not a shithole, they just said that it was the world’s leading superpower. But yeah, I was mainly referring to the reply hehe

      Lithuania is considered, along with Latvia and Estonia, to be a developed country now. It really took a step forward after being freed from the chains of Russian subjugation.
