Nothing made me a more "woke" American than my first trip abroad. I wish there was some way I could share the privilege I had to do so with more people here.

- 0815test 7y ago"Woke" Americans have their own stereotypes about foreign countries, though. It's a very self-centered mindset in quite unhelpful ways, which frequently devolve into outright wishful thinking. For instance, while the U.S. might definitely want to regulate telcos more strictly in some ways, I don't see nearly as much appreciation for the fact that even the current level of healthcare regulation and government involvement is likely highly detrimental!
- komali2 7y agoWhat? If you were to take the standpoint of an American that desired emulating other first world countries, how would that standpoint not be in favor of further healthcare regulation and government involvement? Considering the majority of other first world countries have heavily socialized healthcare systems or universal healthcare?
