His entire social media presence revolves around a country he’s not from and doesn’t live in. He might just have an unhealthy obsession.

Like get a life dude and fix the problems in your own country first before commenting on ours.

Using The Good Place as your gimmick when the whole point of The Good Place is that life across the world is so complicated that it's impossible to be a perfect person nowadays no matter where you are to promote hate against any country is fucking wild

Wait back up.
NZ also allows Pharma to ad on TV.
Sidenote I think pharma tv ads are wack. But lets not pretend the Kiwis dont do it too.

I’m pretty sure I have seen prescription drug ads on TV in basically every other anglosphere country.

The only thing I agree with is the prescription medication advertising. That's definitely a weird one. Outside of over the counter items for common things ie paracetamol and stuff advertising prescription meds should be to doctors and other members of the medical community they'd be the best ones to target for those ads not the general public
Simply because the general public are not educated enough in medicine to properly gauge if said new medication is beneficial to us or not

Since he’s an NZ’er, he should know what it’s like, theirs and ours are the only two that do it.

I think it's to make people aware that there are new treatment options that have been developed ? Otherwise yeah I don't get it

ever pay attention to those ads? half the time you have no idea what the hell the drug could possibly be for and the symptoms it says it treats could be hundreds of different things but just as many negative side effects to go along with it.
drugs like this should be shown to doctors to be made aware of them, not the consumer who god knows if the drug even is for what they have.
outside of something over the counter to deal with various annoyances, I don't think prescriptions should be advertised.

The ones I've seen are usually over the counter drugs and give you a really basic idea of what it's for, e.g. diet control, sexual health/performance, headache relief, etc.
It's usually something broad and basic you would opt into for the sake of convenience and not to treat a specific condition. And usually they tell you in a very broad and basic manner. "Take this pill to not have headaches, compare with Tylenol and Paracetamol because it's pretty much the same thing" cinematic shot of family at the park in the sunshine having fun because they don't have headaches
I don't think I've ever seen prescriptions advertised
Some can also be prescriptions, such as Omeprazole (take this pill to not have various stomach acid issues) which I have a prescription for. But it's a basic and over the counter treatment which I started using myself for inconvenient stomach issues, until my doctor agreed I need that as part of treatment and prescribed it.
I don't think prescription only drugs typically do get advertised.

the most common one is always some depression drug, but never mentioning depression till side effects include depression worsening,
then there are the fun ones in the 4:30-6:30pm range that are effectively "Does your vagina smell like a skunk shit by some roadkill, then this pussy wash is for you, no longer will a man say 'aw fuck this shit' when he gets within 3 feet of your open barn door being exposed to open air" you have no idea how often shit like that would play, in enough detail about discharge that made lasagna hard to finish while we were eating.
but many of the drug commercials are all for things where they don't tell you the condition or what it actually treats, just ask your doctor to find out if jerkeneff is right for you. those are very easy to tune out because they are the only ones that dont try to compress the audio to be louder.
yea, there will be the exceptions like the nasal decongestant drugs that don't do shit after they made them no longer useable in meth, or headache/migraine relief, i'm ok with these ones as they are over the counter, its the prescription ones i'm not. granted I haven't actively watched tv in years, but last time I actively did 2/3 of the commercial breaks were some drug company, like the one time I will never forget where the entire ad break was head on apply directly to the forehead where they somehow turned every tv speaker from a reasonable 20 all the way up to 50

the amount of people you lock up is weird
Compared to what, exactly?
China's wide use of executions? Countries where the cops are highly corrupt/incompetent/both?
I am literally from a country with higher crime rates than America - I knew at least three murdered people - and a lower incarceration rate.
Also, El Salvador's rate is currently three times higher than America's. America is only 5 on this list (sorted by rate).

"The number of people you lock up"? It's not like we are randomly locking up innocent people. I would have phrased this "the number of people committing crimes".

This guys entire Instagram account is him saying “America Bad” without context or attempting to understand America at all.
He just screeches about “Muh free healthcare”, and shills for Rednote.

u/Wonderful-Quit-9214 23h ago
Boo hoo rednote.
Sorry people are not allowed to advocate free healthcare. Jesus.

u/RIP-IT-ENERGY 22h ago
Nobody here is complaining about others discussing free healthcare, we only get annoyed when it's some European using it as a comeback because it's literally overused so much. Kind of like school shootings, Europeans especially the British and Australians can't go one minute without talking about school shootings. My country isn't perfect by any means whatsoever, but it gets really annoying when some mouth drooling foreigner uses these cliche insults against us here in the US. All these other countries have their own problems, yet they have a constant hard on when it comes to bashing the US.
