We don’t do that when America is mentioned.

We do that when America is yet again too full of itself, to keep them down a notch.

We can’t help it if that is the only thing Americans do.

And then the random citizens who defend or justify ignoring it either take offense instead of agreeing it’s fucked up, or grasp at straws with whataboutism to shift the issue.

Americans are so soft. You throw shade at the Europeans by making fun of their food or wine or streets or whatever. They take a shot back and you guys whine.

Take a shot back instead of flipping the table.

Americans: “Your accent is funny and your food is bland.”
Europeans: “Well at least children aren’t dying in our schools. At least we don’t see street memorials on television every other week. Haha, owned.”
Americans: “…”
Europeans: “See it’s funny because people are dying and voters are powerless to stop it”
Americans: “What the hell man”
Europeans: “Wow, you guys should seriously get some thicker skin”

You are not powerless to stop it. Who is telling you this and why do you believe it? Your group is much, much bigger than the one who fucks everything up. Go out and show them! Nobody is telling you to get thicker skin, they’re telling you to get off your ass and get angry about it.

Nobody apart from the guy I’m replying to, of course.

And everyone who downvoted my comment.

And for the record we’ve been voting. We’ve been protesting. We’ve been trying to get the rules changed and we’re getting stonewalled by the 50% of the population who only listen to media that makes up reasons for them to hate things that would be good for the masses because it would be bad for a few people at the top and I’m sick to fucking death of people making fun of us for not trying hard enough and treating actual dying children as some sort of own.

You can’t even prove that’s true about a majority of Americans yet you talk about it like it’s fact

Also I like how you equate memes on bad food/wine/infrastructure to the memes of school shootings and mass death. Totally tit for tat right?

As an American I don’t know what you’re talking about, aside from the UK most of Europe has amazing food, and the wine there is so much better and cheaper

Fight me and my bad dentistry you overweight, stetson wearing, language butchering, gun touting redneck.

The UK has a Michelin star restaurant for every 360k people, the US has one for every 1.5million people.

It’s probably better to look at the distribution of Michelin stars in major city centers since you guys are only about 20% the size of our population (edit: and about 25% of our land area).

For instance:

Population of London = 8.982 million Amount of Michelin stars in London = 71 Amount of people per star = 126,507

Population of New York City = 8.468 million Amount of Michelin stars in NYC = 72 Amount of people per star = 117,611

Well ya, it’s absolutely pathetic for Americans to strut around acting like they’re an authority on how society should operate when theirs is an absolute dumpster fire unless you’re making 500k/yr+.

Does it hurt when this is pointed out or something? If you’re tired of it, maybe stop trying to swing your tiny little dick around and people won’t have to constantly tell you to put it back in your pants.

Says the continent that can’t go more than a few generations without degenerating into authoritarian states and widespread war.

You mean like the US installed puppet regimes all over the world 24/7 since ww2? Or the constant wars you are involved in? Or do you just mean the civil war n? Or perhaps it’s easier to controll the land after the genocide perhaps? Really? USAian talking about authoritan States and widespread war… Not like Europe got a good track record but it’s kind of lacking on the imperialism front compared.

The US hasn’t had a domestic war since the civil war. How many wars has Europe had domestically since then? Hmmm.

US citizens are powerless to the machine that was built generations ago. We vote between corporate funded warhawks or more liberal corporate funded warhawks. Personally I like the idea of not helping Europe much in future wars, we have more than enough problems of our own. But as much as Europeans hate America for their military prowess, I hate us for it too because we’re all paying for it in human suffering.

We’re policing the world and neglecting our people and it isn’t sustainable. If you need to fight for freedom, start your own military dominance. But fuck war. Americans mostly just want to live peaceful lives but bring a land war here and it’ll get lit.

Not to mention the current degradation of American Freedoms™, and the constant abuse of the American Election System™ by certain actors.

Oh forgot to mention the utterly retarded arrogance of Americans. You don’t have a clue where I live, or whether I’m on the same continent as you.

Don’t you feel that’s a bit rich coming from the country who started or been at the centre of most of the wars for the last 80?
