I'm the first to opine that the problem with Dumbfuckistan is that it is full of Dumbfuckistanis, but as a counter point: in the era of globalism how often are a people actually allowed to rework their country without prior approval? For example, in El Salvador, Bukele rounded up ALL of the gangbangers and chucked them into a 21st century dungeon. How did Western NGOs respond? By calling him a dictator/strongman/threat to democracy. If he does something that bothers our betters at the State Department/CIA he will be Kennedy'ed.
Oh I agree. Like it's definitely a dual-sided issue. Sometimes a country is so beyond fucked that you can't seriously expect people to be able to fix it. Sometimes that's because of their government, culture, and/or society alone. Other times it's because of geopolitical shenanigans (Which, at least for a few decades has more often come from the US or other Western powers, but it can come from other sources of affiliation as well)
Even so, again, it doesn't offer any kind of a reasonable excuse for how some of these derps behave when they actually do get a fair shake via entry into a Western country. Like we're not just talking about them having trouble fitting in. What we're talking about is them becoming a nearly invasive demographic of non-native hoodrats who sweep through like a plague. They don't HAVE to be a bunch of useless and uncivil hoodrats, but they certainly have a tendency to choose that option.
