Reply to comment by Danobi2 in Uganda will now be printing 3D human tissue in space by Gari_305

I mean Uganda made headlines by banning homosexuality and mob violence against gays.

It's not like they support that image consistently.

The US makes headlines outside by banning abortion rights and storming the Capitol to overturn election.

Turns out, the news likes to bring in the worst happenings around the world and shouldn't be your only source of how the world is.

I do got to point out that abortion rights were not banned nationwide, just no longer protected. I got no excuse for Jan. 6 though.

  1. Who reported those headlines but won’t report on any of their social or technological successes?

  2. As stated by another commenter, are you not aware of what the US was doing to black people, and women during its major technological advancements? Cmon

Okay yes but I think we’re taking about technological sophistication not social mores

The two go hand in hand. You can’t have a well-adjusted, spacefaring society which also stones gay men to death on a regular basis.

These things are not compatible.

The US developed nuclear weapons in an era where black people could not marry white people. I agree that tech and society evolve together, just not always at the same rate.

That’s bs.

The US is a prime example of a morally bankrupt society in many ways; lgbtq rights, women’s rights, worker’s rights, housing, medical care, racist policing, death penalty etc. and yet we still think of ourselves as the most advanced society on earth.
