A threads post saying "There has never been another nation ever that has existed much beyond 250 years. Not a single one. America's 250th year is 2025. The next 4 years are gonna be pretty interesting considering everything that's already been said." It has a reply saying "My local pub is older than your country".
Dumb people hear something, misunderstand it, and repeat an incorrect version with authority and without any critical thinking. I'm sure this person heard that the US is the oldest existing democracy. The next oldest, depending on the criteria you use, is probably Switzerland at 175+ years. But does this person really think that the US has existed longer than, say, the ancient Egyptians, the Ottomans, the Byzantines, etc.?
If a country has ethnic/lingual, racial, gender/sexual, or wealth requirements is it really a democracy?
I'm not convinced that the USA was a democracy prior to 1964.
In that case there wasn't any democracy up until maybe 100 years ago (no clue what country first ticked all the boxes, or when)
Yeah 100 years seems like a good guess. Basically the aftermath of ww1.
