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

  • 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.

Idk, both of those studies leave a lot to be desired. The first methodology is based on language, which ignores the history of conflict and forms of imperialism that used language as a tool of imperial expansion.

The second study doesn't count any culture that doesn't make up more than 1% of the total population. Which means countries like Papua New Guinea, one of the most ethnic diverse countries in the world, doesn't even register as they don't have a dominant ethnic group.

How am I to build any skills at all when my only motivation is procrastination?

[-] Leate_Wonceslace@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago

Procrastination is a skill I use every day.

That the US is not also a shithole...

[-] reev@sh.itjust.works 16 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Technically they didn't say not a shithole, they just said that it was the world's leading superpower. But yeah, I was mainly referring to the reply hehe

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 6 months ago

yeah i was wondering if somebody was gonna point that out lol

just felt a need to shit on the US a little first thing in the morning :D

Russia is not a 100% white country. The country spans two continents. Plenty of Asian Russians in the country.

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.
