As an American, it's nice knowing the world has to listen to whatever hissy fit we happen to be throwing on a given day. WE'RE SO SPECIAL!
Also, Europe has a population of 741 million people. The USA has 328 million. This means that you should probably have 3 usa stories for every 7 european stories, except since the USA is 5 times more prone to be dumb, it becomes 15 to 7.
5 times more prone to be dumb? Doesnt that seem awful.... low? I'd be inclined to say at least 25 times more. After all, the american education system sucks.
Personally, I don't think that Americans are dumber than everyone else. That seems highly unlikely. There are dumb people everywhere.
The difference is that the US have a long-standing tradition of anti-intellectualism. Ignorance is not seen as something negative, often even considered as something positive and you can be proud of. It doesn't matter if you are dumb as long as you are rich.
Okay so, lets just put a halt to the rich thing. It's annoying to me that people assume all of America is extremely rich. It's not. Let's not evolve that any further, please? And let's also not say the bad areas of the U.S. are child's play in comparison to the bad areas in other countries, because they aren't.
I have met people from Venezuela, Cuba, Honduras, Lebanon, as well as Palestine etc., that have said some of the most crime-ridden areas in the U.S. are just as bad as anywhere they came from. It's just no reported or mentioned in media outlets. I see these topics on Americans always devolve into how "spoiled rotten and entitled they are", and then it often heads somewhere into that sort of thing.
Of course shitty areas in America are just as shitty as everywhere else. I never said their suffering is irrelevant. I'm just saying that when bad shit happen to you, I don't owe you my empathy. I will be willing to show it to you, but fucken hell I'm not doing that #blm bullshit like so many others just for kicks.
Oh LOL. Fuck BLM. That's racism of it's own kind.They are just as racist as the people they call racist.
I hate those people. And if your reading this and your one of them, I prolly hate you too. BLM is the same people who get pissy if you say All Lives Matter. So no, to me all they are doing is making a lot of noise.
I've lost several friends irl for making my opinions on that known and I'm not sorry. Life is too short, and in my own experiences, far too tragic and brutal to be worried about someone else's feelings when you'll never agree with them in the first place.
At this point, I don't even care. I had opinions at first, but then I realized unless you mindlessly say yes to whatever Twitter says, you're a racist. I still hold my opinion, but I care less now. Police brutality can keep on existing, I wouldn't even care anymore. Social media desensitized me on so many things if the police started beating up my race I wouldn't even flinch.
Thank god i lurk in the sane outer regions of twitter, where anime roams with lewd RP, lewd art and unpolitical gaming. i carefully avoid the radioactive cesspits of leftists, anarchists, socialists and all stripes of shithead sheeple wanting to be PC and woke.
Sabruness, just because take no interest in politics doesn't mean that politics won't take an interest in you. You should never forget that ass you have shown your colours.
But ... everyone in America is basically super rich if they have a job by international standards. A person making 10,000-20,000 USD per year is rich. Half the world's people would make better wages as a burger flipper in the US than their home country. GDP per capita matters, but even then the real wages that people earn in some countries is much lower.
I think that there are parallels between the first American Civil War and right now. The first war was about slavery, which was basically racial discrimination. Right now there are extremely divided political and racial lines, and The American Asshole is talking about dominating and sending in the military ... Does he truly want a civil war? God, he's trying hard.
