improper comparison (why aren’t we comparing Haiti and Cuba instead of the US and Cuba?)

this has buggered me so much since the first time i ever heard that comparison

it's especially bad when it's someone from the 3rd world spouting that bullshit. "people are leaving cuba to go to the US!!" yea bitch but more people are leaving our country for america too and ours is a fucking capitalist one

Along a similar vein, I see so many libs resorting to saying "Americans are so much better off than 90% of the world's population! Be grateful for what you have!" But why would America want to compare itself to Sudan, Myanmar, or Mozambique? They would rather plunder the global South than change anything about how America functions at a fundamental level
