What typical Reddit ignorance that compares the avg life expectancy of the whole USA with a range of 68 years for tribal people to 85 years for “Asians”, a 17 year spread, to individual European countries.
It has always baffled me a bit that Europeans keep making this basic type error, by comparing individual European countries that were relatively cohesive and healthy until recently, to the whole of the USA that suffers from a whole host of benefits of diversity. Europeans simply have no understanding of the real America beyond what they see in movies or hear on Reddit. How could they, most people in America don’t even have a clue what America really is like due to endless barrages of propaganda from childhood on.
- viraptor 1y ago> by comparing individual European countries that were relatively cohesive and healthy until recently The first one doesn't include a few European countries. The second is completely backwards - health generally has been on the way up across the board for decades.
- johnisgood 1y agoWhat secret America are you referring to? Could you shed us some light on it?
- speedgoose 1y agoIf you are allowed to pick your samples, Corsican women are doing well in terms of life expectancy.
- JohnKemeny 1y ago> comparing individual European countries that were relatively cohesive and healthy until recently, to the whole of the USA Isn't USA a country? How is a country-by-country comparison "typical Reddit ignorance"? I'm gonna use my typical Reddit ignorance to guess you are indeed from the USA.
- potato3732842 1y agoBecause each state in the US has it's own flavor of regulation (and culture) impacting most of the factors that affect life expectancy most greatly. Your access to booze, cigs and healthcare is very different in NM than it is in MA.
- agubelu 1y agoIt's also a very US-centric thing to think that the US is the only country with significant differences between its internal subdivisions.
- NekkoDroid 1y ago> Because each state in the US has it's own flavor of regulation (and culture) impacting most of the factors that affect life expectancy most greatly. You can also say the same thing about the individual states in Germany.
- hopelite 1y agoThat is not at all the same in Germany. German states do not have sovereign jurisdiction over their territory. It is a common illusion of Europeans about how America at least is supposed to work, even if things are rather penetrated currently due to such ignorant perceptions and the propaganda that was pushed by the ruling class to cause your kind of confusion. Think of it this way, the USA in its current corrupted form is far more like the EU that has been effectively conquering the sovereign countries through simply elbowing and corrupting its way into power through its weight. The USA is supposed to be more like the EU was up to about 2010, even though this corrupted and rotten state of the EU was always inevitable, because it was the very objective of the bait and switch operation, that especially the young of Europe have no clue they were conned with to deprive them of their freedom. You should maybe read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution as a starting point and then think about how they outline a structure that is different than what exists today in the USA and especially how it is extremely different from the illegitimate and proto-tyrannical EU.
