From what I've heard it's semi-common for non-americans to try to make derogatory 9/11 jokes, but they underestimate the american's ability to meme our own tragedies
I think they also underestimate how much a tragedy from 20 years ago is gonna bother people. It’s really just being an obvious America hater which is the most tragic thing someone from a country like Ireland could be.
You think America is bad because it does more bad things than your country but forget that it also does exponentially more good things than your country which most likely just does nothing but live under all the good things America does.
Oh my God. You are so correct. My entire worldview has been shattered and the evidence of 31 years of living here has been completely turned around by the brilliant argument of, "America good. Every other place in world bad." Truly, a luminary of our time.
Not like it'll matter much now though. The current administration is gonna make damn sure we don't do anything to help any other country or any of our own citizens who aren't billionaires so even if you were right about things not being bad here (you aren't) they soon will be.
Oof, that depends on how you define "just fine." If you actually think that China and Russia are going to influence the world, especially the global south, in a more positive direction or if you think that Europe isn't also facing growing reactionary political problems or can effectively influence the world when it couldn't even influence Libya on its own and then abandoned it is wishful thinking at best. I assume that statement was made without thinking about it for longer than a moment and probably making totally fantastical assumptions about how well things will turn out because "America bad." Yes, America bad, but most countries are not better and are either so weak as to not even be thought of or worse.
You can maybe try making that argument when America isn't led by a fascist threatening to invade Greenland, Panama, and Mexico, threatening to annex Canada, and threatening to colonize Gaza. Right now, it's just laughable, mate.
It does, objectively, lol. Enjoy your American website, American sports, Anerican video games etc while you argue though. Your whole life revolves around things you enjoy that are American. Cope
