Chanting, “Death To America” while you’re holding your Starbucks you got on 24th and Lander, in your Levi’s and your Nikes, before you head to Applebees for a beer and some riblets, is the stupidest bullshit I’ve ever heard.
You like this lifestyle? It doesn’t exist in 90% of the world. Maybe pump the brakes on hating the nation you live in that affords you perhaps the highest quality of life for the general population in the entire world?
improve-society but also rebbitor seems to think it’s 1924 and the US is more advanced and has higher living standards than the rest of the world? like people don’t wear jeans and sneakers in 90% of the world? like there aren’t hundreds of millions that have better lives then the average USian, like the USians also haven’t forcibly exported their garbage “culture” to 199 countries in the world and there are sniff shtarbuchs koffie and macdongle’s in every shopping mall in asia and europe?
I love that all the things he named are just consumerist garbage. No mention of Healthcare, time off, affordable housing, a social safety net, none of it. Nothing that actually matters. And I have to wonder why he didn’t 🤔
it’s really a perfect summation of American culture. there’s no actual culture to be proud of - the American lifestyle is just a bunch of shitty brands (that exist everywhere) and food that kills you.
It’s always confused me how Americans seem to think the rest of the world live in mud huts and are medieval peasant farmers or something. Like they just flat out don’t seem to understand that other countries exist in the 21st century. I guess that’s the only way you can compare the “American lifestyle” to another country favourably, if you pretend the rest of the world is stuck in the 1500s.

Warmed over “love it or leave it” talking points from the Iraq War

Oh no, people having their cultures? We must stop this, they hate us for our cheeseburgers!
But TBH I’d rather take a minuscule 40sqm apartment in a well-connected and technologically avant-garde Chinese metropolis over a comically enormous US house 30 minutes from everything good in life, and that probably costs more than a big-ass apartment in a Chinese city.
But what do I know? I hate freedom and America, I should go to the DPRK since I don’t like the west.
