All true. They have their own version of this though.
“When I see pro American pieces, I remember that their citizens are obese and undereducated, or subjugated by centuries old race caste system and incarcerated at very high rates. Their schools are failing, their cities are riddled with crime, their infrastructure is crumbling, half of them hate the other half, and they wield imperial control around the world with their military, killing a million Iraqis to secure their oil.”
I’m sure they’d love to come live in the US though. Lines at the US visa offices in China have been enormous.
Funny thing is, I don’t see articles that say “America launches (best AI thing / fastest chip / 5g bs)” … just the company (usually international) that did the work.
Also all true, sadly. I'm so lucky to be European, although it's not paradise here, either. But still...
After everything Europe did in the 20th century I think y’all best just keep quiet for about a century. “Not paradise…” Jesus.
Bully for your grand government benefits package. Huzzah. Meanwhile the rest of the world is still unwinding your colonial legacy and world wars. What’s that? You have a hot war going on now? Im so lucky to be a Californian.
I don't think I get your point
You gonna be okay?
Fuck right off. Seriously, fuck off. It's none of our faults, everyone involved is fucking dead or certainly not on Lemmy.
You can take your misdirected feelings and shove them right up your stupid ass.
You just emptied your fuck gun at me but watch me raise one hand like Neo and drop them on the floor.
The comment I replied to is like an American showing up to a thread about slavery and saying “gee! That’s awful! I’m so glad I’m an American!”
You don’t brag about your just-recently-overcome legacy of horror. I will shit on Euro smugness every time, because here’s what it says:
“We raped the world of resources and slaves for centuries but we took all that wealth and built nice social democracies for ourselves! Aren’t we lucky!”
No sir, you can fuck right off.
Maybe don't brag about your social programs when they're funded by hundreds of years of rape and pillage? Idk, just an idea
On second though nah you're right, your continent is super enlightened now that it gave up colonization less than a hundred years ago
Let’s all step back and be glad we’re not in China or Russia.
In about 60 years we're gonna see Russians in here acting all smug about the shit they were able to buy with wealth their country stole from Ukraine
Not that I think your point makes any sense but it's a bit rich coming from a US American
Check my post history, find a single example of me bragging about the United States, I dare you.
