America sucks but this whole thread is suck a failure of understanding degree vs kind itâs silly.
Yeah itâs easy to draw false equivalences when you ignore the question of degree.
Some people here used to say the same about the USSR and UK back in the day, eg people at the top still earn more and have nicer houses than people at the bottom, all our media is propaganda and lies like Pravda etc etc. They seemed to struggle a bit when Siberia was mentioned though.
US is not NK. We do give any society anywhere a run for its money on how many people are in prison and how badly they are treated though. We put people in solitary for decades.
The UK has the highest prison population in Europe, despite not having the highest population. Following you into a desperate downwards spiral post Brexit.
Well for one I think itâs pretty obvious itâs presented fairly tongue-in-cheek just based on the name of the tweeter but for another itâs also not presented as âLook hereâs how NK is better than US in literally every single way here are those waysâ but barring that yeah we agree. We donât execute people with Howitzers afaik.
Aye. We imprison the most people, total, and per capita. We donât just give âem a run for their money. We set the pace .
This post is full of facts.
Neither does Kim! It would be totally impractical to use a howitzer for an execution. He uses 40 mm AA guns from what I understand.
Iâm not really sure âwe donât suck as bad as NKâ is much of a defense.
You remind me of that episode of Big Bang Theory where Raj loses his job and Sheldon offers Raj a job and other stuff also happens but Sheldon starts lecturing Raj about Indian culture. Tell me more about my country, Canadian!
Give me a fucking break.
The irony of this in a thread dedicated to talking about another country is pretty awesome.
I missed that that thread was supposed to be funny.
Yeah this is totally unfair. Everyone knows that Canada is basically America Jr, only notable difference is like 20% lower GDP, 30% more gravy fries and 200% more hockey.
This is my thought as well. When your country does awful things like North Korea, but not as bad, your country should still stop doing those things!
Nailed us. Boom.
Who is saying otherwise?
You are circling around it by asserting that others in the thread donât understand that there is no difference in degree between the US and NK. Literally no one thinks that.
Not this thread. The twitter thread.
My mistake. Carry on.
I mean, thatâs how I took it. Maybe I got it wrong.
Like obviously swinging by Mt Rushmore with your woman while at Sturgis for bike week isnât in the same ballpark as lying prostrate in the street for half a day on Grandpa Kimâs birthday or whatever the fuck it is they force them to do over there, only an idiot or perhaps a Canadian would suggest such a comparison was being made seriously there I think.
