    Can you not judge the entirety of a nation based on some of its people?

    As a somewhat famous American once said, “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”

    There’s been a dearth of critical thinking in the American people in general for a long time but I can promise those you see here are not representative of the whole.

      “Some” of its people? My friend, going by your quote that only speaks to how low the bar is that a majority of the people who voted in the last US election, tens upon tens of millions of people, happily voted for Donald fucking Trump. The bar is on the floor and the country can barely roll half its population over it with only a handful of people being halfway decent enough to show the world that that shithole isn’t a total write-off. That said, it’s not the rest of the world’s job to fix it for you or let this bad behaviour slide which I see being pushed for all too often.

      I literally do not give a shit about “it doesn’t represent us as a whole”. Guess what, it actually 100% does. That’s how it works, and all the power in the US is concentrated in many of the worst people imaginable. You had several opprtunities in even the last decade to turn shit around and still failed spectacularly. Put on your big kid pants and do something about it or sit in the consequences of your actions and do nothing but do not try to make excuses.

        I’m not your friend.

        Can you point out where I said it was or that they should?

        I literally do not give a shit about “it doesn’t represent us as a whole”.Guess what, it actually 100% does.

        Sounds like the broken logic a lot of our political leaders in the US have used to indiscriminately bomb countries with brown people.

        Put on your big kid pants and do something about it or sit in the consequences of your actions and do nothing but do not try to make excuses.

        What were my actions?

        What a fatuous comment to make. I thought you were reasonable of a little overzealous and generalizing. I should have realized you and the others were just two different piles of trash arguing back and forth.
