None so blind as them what won't see.
I'm European. We don't have favelas, as far as I've seen. The destitute in my country, and there are plenty, have far higher living standards than in yours.
Take a little drive round Memphis, or New Orleans. The parts you wouldn't normally go.
- FirmwareBurner 2y agoI'm talking about how bad comparisons of the US are to actual third world countries and your counter arguments is comparison to Europe, a very NOT third world area?
- psd1 2y agoI was a bit angry and wrote a longer post, most of which I thought better of. Apologies if I didn't formally address your concern. It is my opinion, having travelled a little in Africa and India, that the slums in some of your cities are directly comparable to slums in those places. I don't have high hopes that this is a productive conversation. Please just know that it's not a uniquely American thing to view conditions on the ground in your country as "third world".
