This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I fail to see what about this is not factual.

Edit: y'all I was making a joke about the second comment, I thought that would be obvious

Lithuania is considered, along with Latvia and Estonia, to be a developed country now. It really took a step forward after being freed from the chains of Russian subjugation.

  • USA is not the most diverse country (its ethnic fractionalization index is below that of Moldova - https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/most-racially-diverse-countries or https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_ranked_by_ethnic_and_cultural_diversity_level)
  • Out of listed countries, the only one that exhibits clear signs of ethnonationalism is Russia (although I have to admit to be fairly ignorant on state of things in Argentina)
  • Lumping Russia with its former colonies screams “ignorance”
  • Grabbing a bunch of countries from the oldest trade route and thinking they are gonna be ethnically homogenous echoes the previous scream
  • Me spending time on this post is a clear evidence of procrastination
  • Poland has universal healthcare, walkable cities, affordable intra- and intercity public transportation, and provides free higher education to its citizens
  • Moldova provides free education to its citizens and has universal healthcare
  • Even Russia has a still working universal healthcare (terrible by many standards, but still beats US) and provides higher education to its citizens
  • Argentina has universal healthcare and offers free higher education to it’s citizens
  • Why am I still procrastinating? Send help!

USA is a dominant superpower though.

Idk, both of those studies leave a lot to be desired. The first methodology is based on language, which ignores the history of conflict and forms of imperialism that used language as a tool of imperial expansion.

The second study doesn't count any culture that doesn't make up more than 1% of the total population. Which means countries like Papua New Guinea, one of the most ethnic diverse countries in the world, doesn't even register as they don't have a dominant ethnic group.
