You Americans just don't want to accept it, but your country is treating you like absolute and utter garbage.

I believe the average American actually hates the government deeply, and believes the country is heading in the wrong direction.

Hell... half of us hate the government so deeply they have an arsenal of large guns to "protect" themselves from the big bad government.

I think what you're speaking of is just the raging boner they have for "patriotism", and national pride. Which yes, is very overinflated and often misinformed.

National pride and loving the government aren't requisites of each other, I'd argue.

Oh well asking how are you is kind of starting a conversation, but in America it’s considered to polite to add how are you to a greeting, then it’s up to you to read the person on Iv they want to talk, typically it goes , “hello, how are you” ,”good, how are you” , “good”…end of convo unless the people involved want to continue

Yeah thats exactly what im talking about. But then youbjust walk by bcuz in ur mind you were just being polite, while in Germany asking someone how they are and then just walking on might be considered quite rude, ofc ppl differ and some dont care at all.

That's part of your history just as ours, well more-so yours

How did we invent it? Oh, because you're also European, like us. Yeah, that's correct.
And you're Europeans sitting on stolen land like you own it. I don't know how that makes you better than us
You keep pretending you are not European, somehow, boggles my mind. Like nothing came before 1777 :ROFLMAO:

I don't know how you can say all that and think that's a good or normal thing. "Yea we got armed gangs shooting the police and vice versa so police are super predisposed towards black ppl y'know just everyday stuff" yeah there's nothing wrong with that picture. It's not what I've heard from Afro-Americans, it's about the frequency at which they get pulled over

There might be uprisings, if your government wasn't ready to meet them by force

Have you actually been to Europe? How exactly is it a fact we're more racist?
By being utterly multi-cultural, learning 3-5 languages in school and learning a literal shitton about every other country?
I know Americans that have trouble finding China on a map. Fucking China....
A big part of European population is a bit Anti-American, I can tell you that, but again,
and I have said this very often, but it's not directed at the people, but at the government

I can only really tell you the German experience of Europe, and that is "hate your own country and nationality, love other countries"
except France, but that's a brethren thing, we're not different nationalities per se
The French are Franken, they are Germans that started speaking "Latin" which in time became its own language, ie French

Americans among themselves: America sucks
America towards foreigners: It's the greatest country in the world.

Bit hyperbolic but you get the gist

Also due to the quite extreme national pride they tend to become verry defensive about super fucked up stuff

Conservative Americans, sure. Liberals are the party of immigration, and often have their own culture and national pride outside of America to celebrate.

Conservatives are often the loudest with the biggest flags.

Being well traveled internationally myself made me realize just how silly the flag waving is here at a young age.

I think a lot of non-Americans don't realize that it's actually a very isolated country, not just politically or economically, but also geographically. The average American is never exposed to different countries or cultures, which is why they are often geographically illiterate and think the US is the best country in the world.

One of the coolest parts of EU I noticed was the simple ability to take a cheap train ticket and be in any number of other countries/cultures in a matter of hours. Americans don't really have an equivalent. Mexico is a no-go zone for most, and Canada is just a more polite version of the US and ultimately not much different, except the Frenchies.

Some new people moved into a house down the street. I live in a beautiful neighborhood.

They put up this giant fucking yellow Don't Tread On Me flag. It's so ugly dude... nobody in the entire neighborhood has any flags out, except these people.

Now I see this giant yellow flag every time I drive home. It's just so distracting. The house is right on the street, there's no driveway, so it's literally almost hanging over the street itself and can't be missed.

I've been tempted to tear it down, but they probably have a bunch of guns and don't want me to tread on them.

I have a neighbor with a giant BLM flag in their front yard along with various other little anti trump stickers on their windows, funny how that works
 
I wish I could take a picture of the house , it’s such an eyesore you just have to see it to believe it, although it’s not as bad as it was last year I think the prolly got a lot of complaints from neighbors
