Non-American Ponders Whether The USA Is As Bad As Reddit Makes It Out To Be

There doesn't seem to be any shortage of people suffering for one reason or another, and it doesn't give a very good reflection of the country as a whole. It led u/Homelss_Emperor to ask fellow Redditors whether the USA was as bad as outside impressions often made out.

Although not everyone was willing to defend its portrayal, there were a variety of opinions on the topic. While the consensus seemed to be it was far from perfect, there's definitely many factors to be taken into consideration.
