As a Canadian citizen living within 20 minutes of a Canada/US border, I can tell you with pure objectivity that any American I've ever met has been unequivocally convinced since their early childhood that the USA ranked #1 in the world with the most freedom and the highest standard of living money can buy... with borrowed money of course. But perception is everything, right?
When someone says that to you who has obviously never been outside the confines of his own country's borders, what can you really say to him in response that he would be able to comprehend on even the most basic level of understanding? Is there any point in even broaching that subject? 🇨🇦

I've never actually laughed at an American for anything, mainly because I don't find anything funny about them to laugh about, DJ Trump being the exception for American expressionism which I feel embarrassed about for America's sake that they somehow ended up with him twice in the Oval Office. But that's beyond the scope of this thread and I'll leave it at that. 🇨🇦

@swirlie It is more amusement at seeing that indoctrination get shattered by something as simple as seeing what other countries pay for groceries or doctor's bills.
Never thought a Chinese grocery receipt would radicalize Americans.

What radicalized Americans was the 2nd Amendment to their Constitution being taken out of context from it's original writing some 250 years ago, to then be applied to today's cultural standard of living in the USA as if that Amendment still has relevance. 🇨🇦

@swirlie On that we agree at least.
