    I fail to see what about this is not factual.

    Edit: y’all I was making a joke about the second comment, I thought that would be obvious

      Lithuania is considered, along with Latvia and Estonia, to be a developed country now. It really took a step forward after being freed from the chains of Russian subjugation.

      • USA is not the most diverse country (its ethnic fractionalization index is below that of Moldova - https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/most-racially-diverse-countries or https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_ranked_by_ethnic_and_cultural_diversity_level)
      • Out of listed countries, the only one that exhibits clear signs of ethnonationalism is Russia (although I have to admit to be fairly ignorant on state of things in Argentina)
      • Lumping Russia with its former colonies screams “ignorance”
      • Grabbing a bunch of countries from the oldest trade route and thinking they are gonna be ethnically homogenous echoes the previous scream
      • Me spending time on this post is a clear evidence of procrastination
      • Poland has universal healthcare, walkable cities, affordable intra- and intercity public transportation, and provides free higher education to its citizens
      • Moldova provides free education to its citizens and has universal healthcare
      • Even Russia has a still working universal healthcare (terrible by many standards, but still beats US) and provides higher education to its citizens
      • Argentina has universal healthcare and offers free higher education to it’s citizens
      • Why am I still procrastinating? Send help!

      USA is a dominant superpower though.

    “white”? Define white. Most European countries consist of multiple different ethnicities

    Even middle eastern countries are incredibly diverse (Iran for example is home to like 5+ different people)

    Let’s play.

    Russia isn’t all white.

    America is largely white. Also all the wealth and power comes from the white people. America peaked in the 60’s relative to the rest of the world.

    European countries peaked in the late 90’s to the 00’s.

    Poland’s great. Only ever heard good things about Lithuania. Don’t know squat about Moldova.

    Argentina isn’t that white.

    Crappy communism trumps anything else. Poland and Lithuania (and eastern Germany) under communism was shit, nearby countries (like Western Germany) were great. America really benefitted from WW2 and oil

    How is Poland a shithole? Did a person who wrote this crap have seen this country at all? We had literally one of the biggest economic growths in Europe during 90’s/00’s.

    Majority white, with a chunk of Hispanic and a small dash of Asian and African…

    Is the US really the “most diverse”? Seems like Canada has a better mix or even somewhere in Europe?
