some great stuff here, but this one is my favorite:
As a Canadian, I sympathize with Americans in this thread who may feel resentful. But pro-tip guys — if you want to understand why Germans feel this way, don’t downvote the Germans telling you why they feel this way.
[in reply] They’re being downvoted because their reasons are bullshit and ignorant exceptionalist propaganda. Theyre also coming across as ungrateful dependent children, especially given the current circumstances that the US is currently ONCE AGAIN taking responsibility for a war on their continent that they caused. Admittedly, they caused it indirectly this time, through irresponsibly linking their energy economy inextricably to a rogue, imperialist petrostate, rather than through the genocide that’s their usual schtick.
:laugh
Holup, very VERY rare Germany W?
Anyone outside the US who would “defend” the US is a pathetic simp, full stop. I live here and would never defend this evil country against anyone.
Also, a total aside from the main point, but I saw this comment in that thread:
I did an exchange trip in Germany recently. The public perception of the U.S. is pretty negative. Particularly regarding shootings. One student who I had never met asked me as a joke, “is it true that 50% of Americans believe the earth is flat?” and a bunch of people laughed.
I mean… something like 40% of the country believes that the earth is less than 10,000 years old and evolution isn’t real - which is essentially the same as believing in a flat earth - so that German student isn’t too far off.
America doesn’t defend countries, it invades them
And I’m sure bombing their gas pipeline didn’t help at all
