    The Delusion Behind “America Is the Greatest Country on Earth” A deep dive into the question: If America is so great, why

    The Delusion Behind “America Is the Greatest Country on Earth” A deep dive into the question: If America is so great, why

    A hypocrite calling out others for hypocrisy is often a self-serving mechanism designed to boost one’s own moral superiority, create a deflection, or mask similar behaviors. This act, which is essentially the "pot calling the kettle black," can be motivated by a subconscious need for power or a...

    The Delusion Behind “America Is the Greatest Country on Earth” A deep dive into the question: If America is so great, why

    Read it long before you did. So you moved to Argentina?? You were repelled by the occasional volatility of US politics, yet somehow feel completely at home amidst Argentina's chaos and insanity? What the hell kind of argument is that. You can live a good life in many many countries around...

    You Didn’t Move Abroad—You Brought the Problem With You

    Wish I could live in your fantasy world where AI searches are considered evidence. Unfortunately having a business, savings and a family to look after keeps me firmly rooted in reality. p.s. I am an expat, just a different one than most on this forum

    You Didn’t Move Abroad—You Brought the Problem With You

    Well it's true that "the plural of anecdote is not evidence" but at some point a normal person might say geez that's a lot of anecdotes, maybe I'm wrong here :)

    Javier Milei’s inflation ‘miracle’ in Argentina is a warning to the world, not a blueprint

    That is a great explanation. In the long run valuation really matters for currencies, but in the short term it's all about flows which can surprise the heck out of you.

    The Delusion Behind “America Is the Greatest Country on Earth” A deep dive into the question: If America is so great, why

    The Delusion Behind “America Is the Greatest Country on Earth” A deep dive into the question: If America is so great, why

    Nobody is claiming the US is better than everybody at absolutely everything. But it is the best country overall. It's where the vast majority of people from poor countries would move to if they could, I don't know how you even dispute that. It's a losing argument and you're grasping at straws.
