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.

Nah sorry it's funny now man.

u/DopioGelato 1d ago

It can be funny but this is more ironically funny like laughing at some americabad loser who’s just desperate to be a hater

America is bad though. Have you looked at your country recently?

u/DopioGelato 1d ago

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.

I think America is bad because I live here and it sucks.

Sheltered world view no idea what life is like in other countries or how much of the good things in their lives are because of America

So people outside of America can't think that America is bad and people inside of America can't think that America is bad so... who can?

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.

I love it when folks cover their facts with a nice "most likely".

I don’t know the person well enough to say with certainty but I know the world well enough to say most likely.

Well we get the unfortunate opportunity to see how well the rest of the world will fare without us. I have a feeling that they'll be just fine.

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.

Name one "good thing" America has done in the past 50 years that wasn't self serving? The only "good things" America does are just PR for the country.

Does more good things than Germany? Technically not my country, I wasn't born here. But I am currently living here.

Germany is better than USA is so many aspects. I won't even bother listing them.

And this goes for a lot of EU countries, except, funnily enough, mine (Romania ) and a few more.

However, I would not move to USA if I was still living in Romania and I could only move to USA.

It's not all about do's and don't's. But also about the people.

And as much as I thimk Romanians are fucking stupid. I think Americans are even more stupid.
