Comments are an absolute gold mine of AmericaBad

I stumbled upon a youtube video about soldiers arresting people in Iraq (people in the comment said that it was a warcrime somehow)

with the captions of "History will not forget American soldiers in Iraq"

And then when I opened the comments I get flashbanged by an entire echo chamber of people saying "Everyone hate america, America America" because they need someone to blame in their lives.

"We will not forget and not forgive" ass type of comments

They say that every single western countries supported this while after a single Google search you find that sweden, france, etc refused to take actions in Iraq.

Some people in the comments want the human race to go extinct because I guess a war was started?

And others also said that animals care more about others than humans while is litteraly false as Gorilla, Ants, Lions and more fight their own species. Humans are litteraly animals btw.

These are the type of people that are ready to kill the child of a grandfather because of the grandfather's action.

So for context, my mom was training to be a nun in slovakia, but she later on chose to get married and had me. So this was around the late 90's to early 2000's. the soviet union collapsed almost a decade ago but the shadow still lived on.

Apparently one story she told me was that she made a joke where neil armstrong went to the moon and held two small aliens in his hand. armstrong said "oh you both want to get married, well thank heaven!" (slaps his hands together with the aliens.) Apparently the two people my mom believed that Yuri Gagarin was the first man on the moon.

She also said that the media would love to show footage of pride parades and they would say "see, all of america is degenerate and homosexual." apparently Slovakia was super catholic and conservative at the time. As well as footage of poor people in the country to show how all of america was like this. Its kinda funny how they based america from a left wing and right wing perspective.

Just a bunch of dog brains barking into the night

America is literally Hitler guys. Common guys. It’s happening for real now guuuuys!

1. the projection. they claim americans constantly make things about their country 24/7, yet without fail all the people i see randomly bringing up the usa on unrelated threads are not american. i once saw british people, on a british shitpost subreddit, where there were absolutely no americans to my knowledge, talking on the 4th of july about how "absolutely obsessed" americans are with britain since they came to be.
2. they claim we don't know anything about geography or history, yet they know nothing of american geography or history.
3. constantly assuming that everyone is american, and every bad thing is caused by the united states. and they throw absolute fucking toddler tantrums when you try to correct them about it. even if you're absolutely factually correct, they will curse you, because they DESPERATELY want it to be an american. they have a deep hatred of the americans, as people, not for political reasons, for being born where they were, and they NEED to see things that justify that hatred. they will go as far to completely fabricate things to justify it.
4. the hypocrisy. they claim americans are deeply immoral, while celebrating every bad thing that happens to us, even fatal. they say americans are imperial apologists, while downplaying, or even outright denying, every single bad thing that their country has ever done. they get all their opinions about americans from the news, people online saying dumb things who they assume are american, and they claim we are brainwashed by our media.

the fact that the united states currently has lower approval ratings than china in the majority of europe, canada and australia, proves that all this dumbfuckery is not just bots. there are real, actual human beings who walk among us that think like this. have these thought processes. have americans and how much they hate them on their mind 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. and these people vote. thankfully not in our elections, but in the elections of some of our must crucial NATO allies.

another unbelievable thing i saw, was this one video of people celebrating in a soccer win in germany, and someone ran by a police dog waving a flag and got bit. the other people rushed toward him to try to get the dog off of him, and the german police started pepper spraying everyone. everyone in the comments were talking about how terrible american police are, how violent they are, and how this would never happen in germany. eventually, enough people tell them that actually this IS germany, and suddenly people's attitude about the video changes. now the guy who got bit is an idiot who shouldn't have provoked that dog, and the police were just doing their job. on that video was a comment, by someone who's not american, talking about how fascist and evil trump was for some reason, and some european guy replied to him saying "it's so annoying how you americans have to make everything about yourselves. this should be a european discussion."

I pulled this from a comment I made, but I felt it was worth a post.

America is nearly the size of Europe based on square area, has 350,000,000 people who speak around 400 total languages from hundreds of ethnic groups, and spans 9 time zones and all 5 climate groups.

If you asked every person in the U.S. to define what an American is, you would get such wildly different answers.

Many Europeans and Australians (and, to some degree Canadians) boil that all down to a caricaturized cartoon image of "Americans" and "America" to such a reductive point of absurdity that it would be ridiculously silly if it weren't so hypocritcally ignorant.

Worst of all, it's intellectually lazy. They claim to condemn something that they haven't taken any steps to understand or comprehend in the first place. It's just soundbytes and buzzwords that have no basis in historical, linguistic, economic, legal, scientific, literary, technological, pedagogical, philosophical, geographical, topological, or any other form of reality.

Reminder that the US wasn’t even the sole host…

At least the Swedish homie had our backs
