It usually doesn't bother me unless it's something like this
American- criticizes something foreign
Every single reply to that comment- "School shootings!! Hahaha!! Dead kids!!! Hehehehe!!"
We have other things you can criticize! Like the fact people will give you unsweetened tea with ice then say you can have some sugar packets!
Scourge of the North! Sugar Tea Soup!
Or when they extropolate from America the country being shit, to every individual American being shit for having the audacity to have been born here.
Most of us would also rather it wasn't like this, but our families, friends, and livelihoods are here, so generally speaking it's not practical to just up and leave. And our political system is to broken for us to really fix via voting
Trash on the country all you want, I'll join in with you - but don't blame the folks who are just trying to live the best we can in this fucked up country
This recently
This I don't understand. Where is this coming from and who honestly would be okay with being called a big dumb dildo and laugh along like it's such a well known fact about their country? We're a lot of things, act like we own the world and everyone owes us money and gratitude, eat like shit while letting everyone know how to be healthy, use little creamer cups instead of cream. We're not idiots.
Kinda like how the entirety of France isn't rude and not all Greek people are cheap
Exactly, the problem is the first panel, not the second. But there's no monopoly on participation there.
We are pretty dumb though. On the whole. We've had a lot of our higher education people emigrate.
