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".
Even that's a very obvious fallacy though
Depends on the condition being measured. I've heard similar claims about democracies. I know the OG democracy in Athens Greece lasted about 250 years. I'm not aware of another democracy that existed longer than the US .. But I'm not an expert in the field, so i welcome examples of longer lived democracies.
I think the US is the longest modern democracy, but it's a very narrow margin comparatively speaking - it's only got something like 30 years on Norway and the Netherlands, which are vastly more stable
Is it though? Do you still have one?
I'm not American, so it took me a while to parse wtf you were on about!
