Is the US a developed country?

I sometimes watch videos of the american police with their body cameras, and it seems like a special country. The cops are already extremely violent, they pull out their guns and shoot quickly.
But the civilians all seem a little deranged too.

Overall, there are a lot of clues that lead me to believe it's a pretty horrible country and that we're better off in France. Very high obesity rates and a lower life expectancy than most developed countries. But also the fact that Americans seem ill-adapted to social life. Their cities are designed to avoid convivial spaces since everything was conceived for automobiles. American city centers are scary, and the New York subway seems much worse than the one in Paris, for example.
I think European countries are much more pleasant to live in than the United States.
I'm not even comparing them with Japan, where Americans seem completely uncivilized.

outside of the midwest and the deep south... and the cities... and alaska, yes

all their issues stem from deterioration of trust due to multiculturalism, a pure germanic america would be the best country bar none

The cops are already extremely violent, they pull out their guns and shoot quickly.

if you're a US cop you have no idea if the guy you just pulled over is high on 4 drugs and armed with a semi-automatic rifle. Euro cops would be slaughtered there

Fell off the log nigger. French toe kissing monkey. Block chain looking fella. Ooga booga boohoo

Doesn't seem like a developed country then.

Midwest

The midwest, new england, sierras, and new orleans are the only good parts of the country

the us sucks. stay out

Is the US

Stopped reading right there.

they are developed country in huge decline

once one certain group of people become less and less populated US might start losing the infrastructure and "nice picture" behind it, that is still present to this day, and slowly turning into undeveloped country like Brazil and South Africa

im surprised this wasnt an "in germany" thread

The cops are already extremely violent, they pull out their guns and shoot quickly.

That's the unintended result of their lax gun policy, police are always wary of people having guns.
I have never seen this problem properly addressed in america and never will, they are only able to focus on racial tensions.
It's way too late for them, nothing will change.

The US doesn’t have public health care or public education. It’s by definition not a developed country.

unironically europeans are too big of a pussies to handle living in the us

a pussies

Im a Midwest Safety subscriber.
They(officers with bodycam) somehow remind me of the Americans of good ole 80-90's movies.

Shoot first ask questions later?

No. I meant the movies as in human dramas of that times.
Go take a look.
They(cops) are far more chill, talkable and patient than you suppose contrary to the cop brutality thing on the news.

I subscribe to both Midwest safety and police activity but not because they are calm and patient, it’s because of the frequent shootouts and gore. wtf are you talking about?

I visit my cousins in Minnesota every summer and every single time I get pulled over on the drive from the airport to their house.
Every single time. I am used to it.
First time was a little freaky when the cop approached me from behind with his hand on his gun. Apparently that's just how they do.

You say that as if it's a bad thing..

I watch them for the midwest cop being sane and decent for a refutal example against every American dumb news floods focibly in my ears daily.

Pretty funny that the bottom 5 US cities unironically have higher murder rates than Kabul

it's a high income third world country

Guess the YouTube algorithms feed us different things. In the videos I see both the people they apprehend and the police officers themselves are unhinged AF

Meanwhile here in Malmö

you would be pissing your pants even in the safe states like idaho

Just like in any third world place yes.

I’ve been to the US many times. I would never want to live there. Homeless people literally shit on the streets there. WTF?

Oh it figures.
I prefer the videos that an officer patiently deal with a drunk fuckturd to that total mess occurs

it's not third world at all. you're just a pussy

your fault for going to california

it's not third world at all

With your crime rate, it is.

It’s not only California. Seen it in New York/manhattan, eugene Oregon, tampa Florida and Atlanta Georgia too.

Forgot Denver Colorado. Massive tent cities similar to the favellas/shack towns in thirdie countries.

There is a lot of mental illness and desperation in America, mainly caused by inequality (both sexual and economic).

Canada is like this, too, but we don't have as many guns, and the newer generations are taught from childhood to be nice.

2.5 homicides per 100k people is absolutely nothing to be scared of if you're a reasonable person

well some of the cities are just shitholes, no disagreeing there

2.5 homicides per 100k people is absolutely nothing to be scared of if you're a reasonable person

A reasonable person would be scared.. You're just used to living with that shit.

This

so is scandinavia just giga fucked then if they get invaded? its not normal to be this scared

It is not normal to have literal war zone level murder rates anon. Also, you are projecting: no one are more “scared” than American boomers who are literally afraid that brown people come across the border constantly to behead them and inject them with fentanyl, you literally made this your primary topic of the election that there are too many violent browns around.

European God, always remember this: the American flag on this site more likely than not hides a non-White mutt living in a shithole like Kentucky with living conditions worse than Turkey and a life expectancy lower than Bulgaria, who goes to bed every night unsure if they'll be woken up to be called to defend with weapons the peace of their European gods, Aryan calves flying on a helium chariot kissed by the sun.

comparing yourself to literal geriatrics

lol

Which state do you live in

Deflecting and missing the point. Americans are way more afraid and scared than Europeans are, like a third of you don’t even leave your own homes without a firearm “just in case”.

more like europeans are afraid for guns to be legally allowed to be used in self defense, too scary!

needing to think about self defence measures just to go outside

Who’s really the scared one? Can’t take out the trash without getting into a full body armour suite and taking the AR-15 with you?

your argument doesnt even make sense. if having a gun makes it so theyre not scared anymore then theyre effectively not scared. meanwhile it's simply the truth that europeans find guns to be too scary to be used in self defense

But they’re still scared. You’re literally so numbed from being in fight or flight mode 24/7 that you think it is normal to be so concerned with being attacked in your way to and from work that you literally bring a weapon with you.

Also no Europeans don’t find guns to be scary, many people own guns for recreational shooting or hunting. However bringing a gun to work is not normal no matter how much you try to normalize it.

troons have no self awareness

As you said yourself, no rational person should be afraid of a 2,5 in 100k homicide rate which means that Americans who bring a gun with them to go to work or the grocery store are behaving irrationally.

But they’re still scared.

that's just cope. americans are more likely to talk and socialize with strangers than europeans, it's even a well known stereotype.

Also no Europeans don’t find guns to be scary, many people own guns for recreational shooting or hunting.

most euros dont own guns even for that. and youre just deflecting anyway from the simple fact that euros think it's too scary to be used in self defense. sweden for example has a high rape rate

Most Europeans don’t hunt neither do most Americans. This is deflection. And Sweden has a high rape rate because they literally have “verbal consent required” laws, this is why Assange was accused of rape and had to flee the country.

anyway it's clear you're just projecting. americans are way more social and outgoing with strangers, that completely contradicts your point of americans being scared 24/7. and it's not acoincidence that no where in europe allows for proper self defense even in the more violent regions

Americans are afraid all the time. This is why you arm yourselves to go outside and this is why you voted to deport brown people because they’re all fentanyl smugling MS-13 gang bangers o algo. Stop lying.

I mean you keep rambling on about self defense literally in every post. Who the fuck is worried about needing to use self defense 24/7??

why are europeans way more introverted and keeping to themselves more than americans then? also wanting to be allowed to have guns doesn't mean you're scared; that's retarded. the ones who are actually scared are ones constantly crying for gun control cuz guns are so heckin unsafe

so why shouldn't citizens be allowed to have guns then?

many other countries are more pleasant to live, but america is the center of the world

in this world, who really gives a fuck about some frenchie

but you would probably know the name of some balding fat american

Who the fuck is worried about needing to use self defense 24/7??

People that have spent longer than 5 minutes around African-Americans

How Americans use a gun is either school shootings or random dumb thefts.
It's always not to hit a politician nor a CEO but it's always to hit a vulnerable in society.
You are exploited to the guts by billionares. still your rage rather goes off towards innocent everyday people
Go shoot Donald Trunp, Jeff Bezos and such, otherwise your "against authority" phrase for gun owning excuse sounds chicken shit
