    I like how some Americans aren’t even pretending to strive to be the best nation anymore but just saying “eat like people in impoverished countries”.

    Like, people in Mongolia or for example my parents when they lived in El Salvador didn’t eat beans every single day because they wanted to or enjoyed it - it’s because there literally was no upward mobility and the oligarchy kept it that way.

    You’re the person who centuries ago would be defending the king as you ate only oats for the 10th day in a row because some other kingdom had minor starvation.
