USA could be, but isn't the greatest country in the world.

The level of nonsensical nationalist propaganda in the US is maybe only second to North Korea's.

The U.S. is an oligarchy.

For millions of United States Americans, the so called "American Dream" is achieved in Mexico. They're often illegal immigrants. They often have mental health problems. They gentrify our cities and are entitled as fuck.

Pot calling kettle and all, but I do wish they'd go back to their own shithole country. They have demonized my country for decades and have weaponized the cartels to feed their own addictions. Most of the problems here can be tied directly to their humongous drug problems.

Yankee go home. The United Mexican States is tired of your shit.

As an American, I'm gonna barge in with my loud opinion, 'cuz that's what we do. Here's something which people living elsewhere might not know that Americans aren't ready to hear:

Automobiles are luxury toys and fashion accessories, and we shouldn't base our entire lives on them. No, the car industry didn't make our economy strong; it took off after we already had a lot of extra wealth to burn after becoming a world economic powerhouse. We can't afford to keep wasting all that wealth on them as the world starts to burn, and half of our citizens sink into poverty.

We exist as much as you do. You're not the main character.

Your traffic laws are weird.

• Overtaking/passing on the right

• 4 way stops and whoever comes first can go

• No strict right of way when coming from the right

• Right on red

• Grinding all traffic in all directions over multiple lanes to a stop when a school bus stops

At least the last one I can understand a little with the nearly non-existent pedestrian infrastructure.

This definitely won't be a pile of horseshit from people never been there, believe everything they see on TV, and operate completely on stereotypes from various sources, sprinkled with the dumbest takes you ever heard, and a bunch of blaming capitalism like it's the only nation that employs it.

Gun control works.

And OK maybe it doesn't solve the problem 100%, but it solves it 99%, and that's a lot of schoolkids that aren't dead any more. Look at any first world country for working examples; I'm in the UK, and yes we still have some gun violence, but it's a whole load less than it would have otherwise been.

And it's incredibly short sighted to reject any solution that doesn't solve a problem 100%. Partial solutions are good.

A while ago I watched a live stream of CSPAN (I think?) where the House failed to form a government for several consecutive days. The way the entire process started with a prayer, and the many references to religion throughout, is just as disturbing as the personality cult around Stalin. That whole gang is fucked in the head.

You have a massive obesity problem that is killing you and it is not normal.

Donald Trump is the new US President, and you're responsible.

Affordable healthcare

Public transit

Civilian oversight

Prisoner rehabilitation

Universal income

Free education

Separation of religion and state

Environmental regulations…

Your gun worship is killing you.

International rankings of the US are abysmal https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_rankings_of_the_United_States
