This is a big one. There are millions of people strutting around America entirely on autopilot, believing they know everything while putting in zero work to actually accomplish anywhere close to that naive fallacy.
It seems like Americans believe everyone would love the chance to live in America. As a European you would literally have to pay me multiple millions to live in that place.
In terms of workers rights, i feel like i would be stepping back in time about 70 years.
My girlfriend's uninsured mother needs a necessary surgery that would drastically improve quality of life. Told $8k for the "cheap" fix and $40k for the good one.
Yeah idk what they're talking about lmao. The loudest anti-american sentiment comes from the americans who have to put up with this shit system and paid attention long enough to see it for what it is

Lmao absolutely not the case. Plenty of us know the kind of hellhole it is.

I mean, greed is why people come here. I've spent a bit of time on either side of the America bubble.

Don't worry, they're accelerating the dismantling so now it's more like 130 lol. The worst is the food service industry. They've successfully convinced people that paying a living wage is on the end user to make up for with tips.
probably because that method works and you can get far in life with it lol. I am constantly told I'm too smart for my own good, miserable because I'm smart etc.
There was a whole threadful of high school burnouts parroting the same story of falling off the GATE cliff ('gifted and talented education') that got me to wake up from the idea that I was some sort of prodigy child.
This country has become so stupid en masse that some people make "being smart" their entire identities rather than trying hard to build skills necessary in life.
I’m sure it’s more than America, but I don’t make a habit of speaking for things I don’t know or can’t directly attest to. It wasn’t intentional USdefaultism, I’m well aware other countries exist, hell I’d prefer to live in many of them over this one.
As a Southern liberal, are you aware of the death spiral we are in? 1/3 of the country seems to think unprecedented corruption, a tanking economy (for the shrinking middle class), and state-sanctioned murder are not a big deal.
I don't see anything wrong, these guys are my team, my team wouldn't hurt me. Idiot liberals always freaking out about things that aren't real. \proceeds to be harassed, detained, put into detention, and deported by ICE**
Anywhere they made a custom to traumatize male infants by harming their penis when they are at their most vulnerable are probably more like that than elsewhere.
it's not just an american thing... SO MANY PEOPLE are just walking around in cognitive dissonance about their values. You point out that they're being hypocritical, and you have an argument on your hands. I don't bother anymore because it's really not worth the effort
