My favorite jokes is the "Look how bad it is in North Korea/Russia/China..." Then the ol "sike that's America".

My second favorite thing is all the whataboutism replies because butthurt folks don't like reality. Rather than address the problem, they'd rather go into finger pointing.

I hate the US as much as the next person but the meme itself is basically whataboutism.

It's always "if you don't like it, go live in Somalia" and never "if you don't like it, go live in Denmark". It's saying "it could be worse" instead of "it could be better".

Pretty much. "Could be worse" is for when you're recovering from the flu, not the "There is 1.2 million people in prison right now".

Well the Somalia people actually want a Somalia style government and are free to go there. The Denmark people want a Danish style government but can't go there.

I just want to know the story behind your username. Did a tuber betray you somehow?
