Our country, the United States of America, is NOT the “greatest country in the world”.
I DARE anyone to prove me wrong.
BASED solely on the People of this country, they are being starved, medically and socially SLAUGHTERED, educationally UNFIT, and (In SOME cases, not all) MORALLY BANKRUPT.
Overall Education System 15th out of 209 countries
World Top 20 Education Poll (2025)
Life Expectancy at Birth ~54th (2024) 78.4 years
Behind most developed nations (Japan: 85, Switzerland: 84)
Infant Mortality Rate 54th (tied with Slovakia)
5.1 deaths per 1,000 births; 54th out of 227 countries
Economic Freedom (Heritage 2025) 22nd out of 176
Score 72.8; 3rd in Americas behind Canada (75.6) and Chile
GDP (nominal) #1
$28+ trillion; ~25% of world economy
Human Freedom Index (Cato 2025) 17th out of 165
Score 8.44/10; behind Switzerland, New Zealand, Denmark, Ireland, Australia
Civil Liberties (Freedom House) ”Free”
Score 83/100; behind most Western democracies (Sweden: 100, Germany: 94)
Press Freedom (RSF 2024) 55th out of 180
”Significant difficulties” category
Dropped from “satisfactory”
Democracy Index (EIU 2024) ”Flawed democracy”
Score 7.85; ranked 28th globally
WE as Americans, in MANY ways, outshine the world, BUT.. WE as Americans, are outnumbered by the FASCISTS, MAGA, EXTREMIST RIGHT, and simple APATHY of the People to get out and VOTE.
Approximately 85.9 to 89 million eligible Americans did not vote in the 2024 presidential election. This represents about 36% of the voting-eligible population.
APATHY is the biggest enemy to Democracy and freedom of the People.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” — Often attributed to Burke
“Democracy is not a spectator sport.” — Common civic education refrain
“We have met the enemy and he is us.” — Pogo (comic strip, 1970)
Similar sentiments throughout the world and history
Ancient Chinese proverb “He who passively accepts evil is as much
involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil”
1940s (Nazi Germany)
Martin Luther King Jr. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice
everywhere”
1963
Elie Wiesel “We must take sides. Neutrality helps the
oppressor, never the victim”
