      Michael Tracey Retweeted Julian Sanchez

      The term undercuts the essence of individualism: that simply by virtue of being born in a particular country, you are intrinsically tarnished by its "shittiness"https://twitter.com/normative/status/952225157090770945 …

      Michael Tracey added,

      Julian Sanchez @normative
      People keep trying to rephrase it as some kind of policy argument about skills & education. But “Shithole” doesn’t mean “deficient in job training”; it means something utterly disgusting that contaminates whatever touches it.

      If some foreign leader declared the US a "shithole," it wouldn't be seen as a mere comment on the US's flawed societal features: it'd be seen a scurrilous attempt to impugn all Americans by association

          And yes, when cosmopolitan US liberals smugly decry the inherent backwardness of Arkansas, a very similar phenomenon is on display

          Being a Detroit native, it took us realizing our city was a shithole before we got serious about a turn around. #callashitholeashithole

          The US has plenty of $hitholes. Stockton California is one of dozens just in the state.

          Or we'd laugh about it and move on, because we know it's not true. Like adults. I don't even like Trump, but cry me a river.

          Liberals and Left-wing Progressives do that every day. And you're right, it's a scurrilous attempt to impugn all Americans by association.

          i guess @mtracey isn’t aware the U.S. is called much worse than shithole daily by many countries. Who cares what they think?
