The typical American probably thinks that, outside of Hong Kong, everyone lives in extreme poverty in shacks. Or at best, in very small apartments in massive plain concrete buildings that look like prisons.

Just last week, I was talking with a coworker who didn’t realize South Africa had paved roads.

Saw a TV show the other day where a Cuban refugee is sick and someone goes "They had to flee. No way to get treatment in Cuba." and I'm just like, Cuba? The country with one of the world's best healthcare systems? The one that educates the most doctors per capita? That Cuba?

But sure, flee to the US, where penniless immigrants tend to have access to excellent care, I'm sure.

dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in [email protected], it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer
