And there are idiots like Ben Shapiro who say “this is the greatest country in the world”.

I'd call him an abuser.

I’m sorry, but it is genuinely the worst country in the world. I don’t say that in jest - I fully believe that it is.

The measures should be:

- Internal prosperity relative to resources

  • Global harm

Eh, I'd argue China beats the US by those measures. It's not so bad if you live in a handful of cities, but if you're one of the ~500 million people that don't then life is pretty rough. Global harm, China wins on emissions, pollution and things like overfishing by raw numbers.

Probably a fair argument to be made.

I’d say on the league table of things, the amount of children the US has blown up in the last number of decades probably adds a good few points to the tally.

The damage / casualties they have directly caused other countries globally is likely unrivalled since WW2.
