You made a strawman argument by saying the world isn't divided between hellish countries and the USA, which no one said was the case to begin with.
You're basically saying hey your statement is too simplistic so I'm going to purposefully misinterpret it to mean things you never said, claim you were arguing about something you weren't, then argue against the points you never made.
Her statement was too simplistic. If I'm to be accused of thinking higher of my fellow humans than I should, then I'll gladly take that charge, in the hope that my high expectations will eventually be rewarded.
