I am not surprised to be honest
Also many European statistics are skewed down by Russians. When comparing USA against only the EU + Schengen Area, the difference is even more apparent.
There aren’t a lot of shootings or opioid overdoses or deaths from obesity in truly poor countries because the people can’t afford those things and they just aren’t present. It’s not objective poverty. It’s an industrialized dystopia capable of making things but which makes the wrong things. Like the old USSR sort of maybe. Second world country.
Europe really is the new promised land.
Does anyone know why the obesity rates in Turkey are so high?
There are only [five states that have a GDP greater than the San Francisco greater municipal area](https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/bgphex/states_with_a_gdp_less_than_the_bay_area/). The rest of the USA is forty five 3rd world countries rolled into one.
You should go and take a look at their infrastructure. Airports, airports public transportation, public transportation, drainage on important shopping streets.
And also the locking things up in supermarkets. You look at it, all those details and you do not think “first world” or “superpower”.
Look up the definition of First, Second and Third world. The US can never be a Third world country (or Second).
Very fat for a 3rd world country.
Most of the people in the US have more debt than money.
Post this in r/conservative and they will explode.
Half of the posts/videos/stories from Americans on Reddit tend to make you wonder “how can a country so stupid be so rich?”
>USA seems to be the 3rd world country (but with money)
Money *for the wealthy*. That’s part of the problem.
If you take away the mega wealthy, the US looks really awful at pretty much any statistic you look at
That makes no sense, genuinely people in poorer countries are not as fat, so this map makes sense.
USA is a 3rd world country with money. This is probably the most accurate description ive seen.
The country has money, but it is not evenly distributed. Those without money live in 3rd world country conditions: poor education, poor health care, poor housing, poor food, etc.
Trump is making this even worst.
What about the debt in USA where it seems normalized to have debt on ceeditcards. In Europe when you buy a car, you pay for it, no need for payment plans. They are an option but paying stuff off is what is normalized. And health care costs. Protection of workers, cant fire them in Europe without good reason. Customer/consumer protection. Minimal wages, no need to depend on tips.
Especially more vulnerable people are better of in Europe.
Where is Greenland?
It’s a huge country in the Atlantic ocean
Though tbf Canada has also disappeared but Greenland is technically part of Europe
Great… so you can stop obsessing about the US now.
Most third world countries treat people who are admitted to hospital emergency rooms.
In America only ones with the right insurance or cash are treated. The others are shown the door
They’ll still deny it has anything to do with unlimited gun access (2nd slide)
The US faces some uniquely destructive problems, but calling it a ‘third world country’ is inaccurate. It’s a wealthy country with an increasingly dystopian, corporate-driven food culture that’s been getting progressively worse for public health since the 1950s. Decades of aggressive marketing and profiteering have normalised cheap, low-quality, unhealthy food as the signature dish almost. Access to fresh food is nowhere near what it should be, and a massive income divide means entire communities are trapped in food deserts with little choice.
The high homicide rate is driven by gun culture—something uniquely American with no real equivalent elsewhere. And the incarceration rate is just as cultural. There’s a draconian, almost Victorian attitude towards crime—minor offences get hammered with disproportionate sentences. GDP figures don’t tell you much either; it’s all about where the money goes and who actually benefits.
With all the carbs in pizza and pasta you would think Italians are fat. I know a lot of Italian guys, nobody is fat. Why is that? What’s the catch?
That’s because USA isn’t rich. Only the people who run it are.
The Northeast is effectively Europe!
There are like 700 super rich families, another 5 to 10% of comfortable and then varying degrees of pain for the masses.
Kleptocracy and sucking the almighty dollar dick killed America, well and deep hatred of non whites and the evangelical vanilla ISIS block of Christian fundamentalists… but mostly $$$
The fact that the incarceration rate is higher in almost every US state than in MFKN RUSSIA is extremely telling
A third world country with a Gucci bag.
Love the homocide rate. So tired of people complainin abou Sweden, it’sthe same colour as the rest of Europe and the safest places in the US are still more dangerous than Sweden.
always said this, USA is just like balkans but with money.
Even their goverments now are more cringe than ours.
some of the stuff they do/say would be crazy even for balkan politicians.
Always interesting to see how second world USA actually is.
Why is there no data for Italy? Are they too high?
American here, it feels like it too. Constantly worrying about getting shot whether it’s by the police or by your neighbor is terrifying. Trump taking us towards authoritarianism is unspeakably awful. Drug addiction with no programs in place to help. I’m kinda at a loss. And the way the government in America has been shitting on the rest of the world the whole time I’ve been alive is shameful.
Well assembled OP, thank you
What’s with all the fat shaming? /s
Us is a country of extremes in both positive and negative sense. Although trending kinda more negative lately.
The answer is simple. The lack of public transport. You have to do everything with your car. No burning of calories.
Why? The country is hugh.
It has nothing to do with third world.
Any time I see someone call the U.S. and third world country it’s a clear indicator that they have never left their hometown and only get their information from Reddit echo chambers 😂 or just a bitter, self hating drone
I didn’t realise that third world countries were so rich that they had gone from the starvation stage to the obese stage.
Italians know how to enjoy food.
And the only states that are on par with Europe in almost every category (New England) have mostly European American population (Irish, English, French, German).
Sure, if you cherry-pick your metrics.
Check research output. Healthcare innovation. Patents. National parks area. Racism (ironic, I know), antisemitism. Cancer survival.
The US suck in a lot of ways. They also excel, and outperform Europe, in a lot of others.
Californian here. The South sucks so hard.It’s World due to so many factors including unsurprisingly terrible elected officials.
Is Colorado not ashamed of mimicking Europe?
To play devil’s advocate on two points
1. In the US, unless you live in a major metropolitan city such as New York, San Francisco, etc, you must own and drive a car to get to most places. You simply cannot get to the majority of the places you need to get to without one. The American infrastructure is based around owning a car. So with more daily driving, of course the rate of accidents and deaths is higher.
2. In the illicit drug use slide it’s mentioned but not focused on, that the US rates of alcohol consumption and tobacco use is a fraction to that of Europe. Especially in younger people. In Austria, a literal third of people aged 18-35 smoke cigarettes on a regular basis. And in Paris the streets are littered with cigarette butts.
Obesity, incarceration, and intentional homicide have no counter point. That’s true and it’s disgusting.
I do not think Obesity is the best measurement to establish if a country belongs to the “third-world” category.
Start paying for your defense, and we’ll talk
I thought kwashiorkor was associated with third world countries, not obesity.
I stopped watching as soon as I saw the author felt that Russia was Europe..
I’m glad some people realize it.
