I'm talking about how bad comparisons of the US are to actual third world countries and your counter arguments is comparison to Europe, a very NOT third world area?
I was a bit angry and wrote a longer post, most of which I thought better of. Apologies if I didn't formally address your concern.
It is my opinion, having travelled a little in Africa and India, that the slums in some of your cities are directly comparable to slums in those places.
I don't have high hopes that this is a productive conversation. Please just know that it's not a uniquely American thing to view conditions on the ground in your country as "third world".
