    American here.

    While a lot of the ire directed towards America is warranted, a lot of it is just jealousy and envy from people who are coming online in poorer nations and realizing how little influence they have.

      What’s that about jealousy? I can’t quite hear you over my socialised health care, free university education, and properly maintained public roads.

      Believing it’s jealousy is so wildly out of touch. It’s not jealousy when I skip Mickey D in favour of a local chain, or buy local cola instead of coke, it’s “stay the duck away from Greenland”, “you elected him twice?!?”, and “if you don’t want to be in NATO anymore, fine, but could you not try to actively work against us?”

      As an American, shut the hell up and sit down. Humble yourself. We’re a complete joke because the majority of our citizens that bothered to vote chose the narcissistic dumbass currently running the country.

      America was broken long before now, but we’re shittier about hiding it nowadays.

      Jealousy? Sure, that’s probably it. They finally respect us again, huh?

      You’re probably one of those MAGAs who can’t understand why blacks aren’t all excited to get those “black jobs” in the fields again. You know, like back when America was great, and the darkies loved working in the fields in exchange for free housing, great home cooking, and free clothes. They were very unhappy when the North freed them, and made them responsible for their own freedom.

      That’s what MAGAs are saying, complaining that the blacks aren’t happy about getting their Black Jobs back.

      “a lot of it is just jealousy”

      It is precisely this unreflective, stubborn mindset that fuels the anti-American attitude of the rest of the world.

      Hey, my country is richer per person than your poor people country, solidarity to you all though. Also, we have very little crime and 40% of our population has two passports. Your brag isn’t as impressive as you think.
