You're right after all it's not like there are people all over the world risking their lives for the shot to come to the US. The US is a late stage capitalist hell hole that no one really wants to live in and is worse than every where else in the world (by which we mean a few handpicked countries in Western Europe that have much smaller population and borders).

Asking for some form of proof isn't accusing the US of being a hell hole, and I can't help but feel that a people that actually felt confident in their standard of living supremacy wouldn't be so touchy about it. Belligerence isn't an argument, and "People wants to be there" is only proof of good PR. Speaking as a foreigner, it seems to me that this whole "USA #1" mentality is keeping a lot of people from reflecting on the reality of their situation and from being willing to try and make things better, as is evidenced by the person I was responding to - to paraphrase a bit their take seems to be "we're the best so we can't possibly fix the problem". That argument doesn't really make sense if you're actually not.
