I mean people still listen to your phone calls even in western countries and egg is looking to become a luxury item.
Well you are comparing one totalitarian regime to another. The US is no longer a „western” country.
Nah, it totally is. Being western isn't signified by "Good Values" it's signified by its location on the map.
And cultural-geopolitical factors.
That’s why I put western in quotes. It’s a dumb but helpful classification like the „first world”.
Plenty of western countries are located in the eastern hemisphere. Australia is considered a western country...
Yeah they often get coined with that term because they have "Western Values" or come under the influence of western countries.
Why is the US not considered Western anymore?
