    Where will you find the grand canyon or any other national wonder?

    The post pokes fun at Tankie’s inability to see anything more than their ideas of capitalism, and their pretend version of communism.

      “Any other natural wonder”. There are natural wonders beyond the States. More than any individual can ever see in a lifetime.

        No shit.

        Again, it’s disingenuous to say that any country is just roads and shops.

          ‘roads and shops’ is a bit inaccurate for the specific type of (sub)urbanisation in North America. Don’t get me wrong, other continents, countries have types of suburbanisation and fragmentation as well.

          The US are and were culturally really ahead in individual motorisation dependent infrastructure (and thus tourism dependent on individual motorisation).

          Nonetheless, tankies don’t really care about infrastructure given their history (largely contributing to individual motorisation). I guess buzzwording is happening as well (‘yeah progress’).

      I mean, in most european countries you can see both nature and awesome architecture.
