Indeed. As someone who is from the US and is familiar with its almost inconceivable level of wealth and who now lives in an Eastern European backwater quite similar to Romania, it is very hard for me to take seriously inbred peasants living in villages with dirt roads and no plumbing telling me what a miserable shithole the US is.
If any of these peasants had ever seen the level of wealth that is commonplace in the US they could never see their miserable lives lived in the same crowded, crumbling Soviet apartment block with no hot water and intermittent electricity the same way.
But of course most of the inbred peasants running their mouth from Eastern Europe have never traveled past the village liquor store for their daily vodka fix so they have absolutely no idea how ridiculous their provincial little minds and illiterate rantings truly are.
