Most things trigger. After all you were probably indoctrinated in that countries education centers for most of your formative years. Then after years of deprogramming you realize things aren't exactly as they appear.  So when someone says X is a shithole you'll have an instinctive tribal defense response start to form but you hope the deprogramming stops it and let's you analyze the comment. Is the person's criticism directed at the government, people, or state of ruin? If it's just the government then 99% of the time they're right. If it's as a comparison to their own government then that's relative but the last 3 years showed us to varying degrees every gov became a commie shithole. If directed at people or condition of the place then it's not warranted.

Of course it doesn't stop me from calling northerners in the US commies and their states commie shitholes 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good for lulz.
