    I am not American, USA is not my country, but they are harmful to my country because Trump is a well known Malignant narcissist, and the American people elected him anyway.

      They elected him twice. It hurts me to say it, but (most) Americans are evil as fuck. It’s just this deeply toxic culture, which gets reproduced in every aspect of their lives.

      They are obsessed with violence, their cars a basicly tanks, they have more guns then people, no maternity protections, mass surveillance, they worship their celebrities like drones their queen. They start war after war, build torture prisons around the world, destroy the environment, they bomb schools then turn around and say shit like: Thank you for you service. But don’t blame the soldiers, they have no choice. They call it “Land Of The Free”, “A shining city upon a hill”, they say “Make America Great Again”.

      Every half decent thing they monetise until it’s hollowed out, they poison, cheat, scam, torture, kill, then lie about it. Most of all they lie to themselfs. They are vampires of the soul, ghouls of the heart, monsters in human form. And their fucking culture expands like a virus.

      And I speak with the pain of a disappointed lover, I loved their music, their artistic brilliance as shown in movies, musicals, theater, literature, journalism, hell even tec. But it’s all a big scam, designed to amass power. Designed to enslave and exploit every last corner of this earth.

        I’m glad you’re hurt because being offensively hyperbolic should hurt. MOST Americans are evil? Fuck off, man. You really don’t know shit about this country if you think that. Ignorant, oblivious, sure. But Evil? Were most Germans evil in the 1930s?

        You’ve fallen for propaganda and somehow landed on a high horse

          Oh poor fellow, I’m sorry I made you a victim of my linguistic violence here. Land of the free, home of the brave, right? Just be glad my country never bombed one of your schools. But then again, we really don’t have to, since you guys shoot those little bastards yourself.

          But I could tell you a lot about WW2 Germany. Concentration Camps were an open secret. For example, in my own home county, there was one of those camps. In 1945 there was a big escape. Civilians from all around came together to hunt and kill the escapees. From 500 escapees 11 survived. I would call that evil.

          Now this flame of evil has passed onto you guys. And you carry it with pride and ignorance.

              USA starts war after war and I’m the asshole because I can tell that’s not right? You call yourself “Land Of The Free” and all I ever hear from you guys is: “There is really nothing we can do about it”.

              You get all defensive and butthurt all the time. But yeah, I listened to a lot of David Foster Wallace yesterday. I think I learned something(1). Maybe you give it a shot? There’s some stuff on youtube.

              Spoiler

              (1) The American is more of a hollow man than an evil one? The corporate media can fill him with whatever they want. Yesterday it was “War on Terror”, today it’s “MAGA”, what will it be tomorrow?

          Your countries history is one of destruction to the world and to itself; its laws gave the Nazies theirs, its policies deposed many democratically elected governments for economic gain all while its people reaped the benefits of said imperialism without question.

          The poster is right.

          Ignorance of the evil your country does is not an excuse and doesnt shield you, it includes you.

          I mean if you American, then you did in fact send us the bill. You flattened our cities and convicted our leaders, literaly Nuremberg style. I think we deserved it back then. For me that’s not hard to see.

          Why is it so hard for you guys to take a look in the mirror?

        Exactly, I too used to look up to American society in the 70’s, strongly influenced by TV shows, where Americans obviously always are the good guys. But that was also when Carter became president, and decency was an important part of the American administration. But since then it has been downhill politically, regarding decency and trying to build a better society for all.

        I’ve been arguing for more than 2 decades that American society is now decidedly sociopathic.
        3 times and you’re out, lack of healthcare to big portions of the population. Extreme poverty despite USA is one of the richest countries in the world.
        Complete failure in weapons control despite schools shootings are so common it’s barely news worthy anymore.
        Police killing people for no reason even in their own homes, because police entered the wrong house.
        Police almost never being held accountable. But they still allow death penalty!
        Massive CO2 pollution per capita and doing very little about it, and still driving big gas guzzling SUVs. USA is far from lifting their share in preventing global warming. It’s even a popular political viewpoint to make it worse instead, actively preventing improvements!
        People die because their insurance doesn’t cover a friggin ambulance, and they don’t want to call it because they can’t afford it!
        Discrimination even legally of minorities like LGBT. And also widespread discrimination of people of color. This in a multiethnic country that built its economy on slavery!

        The list simply goes on and on, and for about 2 decades there has been just about ZERO progress!! It’s sickening and insane how morally and politically backwards and intolerant Americans are as a society.

        But I think it is reaching a point where American society is so toxic, it’s beginning to hurt their economy, in part because the world is disgusted by them, and in part because an unhealthy society is simply bad for the economy. Worse educated workers, and less motivated, and more often sick. If you have a skill, don’t go to USA because they pay more. It will ruin your family life, your life/work balance, and you will die younger.

        Edit:
        Wow, some idiot downvoted this. 🤡 What a clown, not even able to point out a single inaccuracy. 🤣
        Because it’s ALL TRUE!

          Yes and what shithole do you hail from, so we can blame you personally for all the things that your country hasn’t yet solved.

          Like…are you really this fucking stupid or is there some kind of contest you’re hoping to win today?

            Whataboutism

            so we can blame you personally for all the things that your country hasn’t yet solved.

            Straw man argument, in the above post I describe American society, There is no blame of any individuals.

            Like…are you really this fucking stupid

            Shifting focus with a personal attack, but not addressing a single actual flaw in anything I wrote.

            My guess is you are American, and you are butthurt about people being angry with your country, instead of just blaming Trump.
            Well I got news for you, that should have registered a long long time ago. Trump is not the disease, he is a symptom of a sick society.
            A sick society is like having cancer, not all cells in your body are cancerous, but if enough are, you die anyway.
            The American society is in much the same way suffering from mental illness, so badly that they are doing harm to each other because of it, with sociopathic laws. And now with a mad administration they are lashing out to every country they have relations to.
            Except for some reasons the countries that are enemies of democracy like Russia and North Korea. And Israel a country that is committing genocide and war crimes on a daily basis.

            I may be an idiot, but that doesn’t change that USA is behaving like a psychopath as a country, and is causing harm to themselves and around the world.

              People should be angry with the country. The government has been overrun by barbarian billionaires and they’re harming billions of others.

              None of that gives you the right to blame the 300 million people trapped here, the vast majority of whom do not approve of Trump and his bullshit.

              And if you were here to do anything other than wave your rage boner around a room of people uninterested in seeing it, you’d understand.
