That most of the world would be better off with the collapse of US hegemony.

MANY Americans aren't ready to hear these things. The rest of us are well-aware of them. We're glad that you're sharing your criticisms, and waiting for y'all to share with us how to implement your well-thought-out and practical, abiding solutions.

The gun rights y'all have?

Now, most people would tell you that Gun Control Works and that you should just do that and get less dead kids per month which is a generally good thing.

....... But here's another thing to consider. As long as you're allowed to purchase weapons for cheap and easy.

You do realise you can in fact do something about the assholes in your government and your oligarchies with those guns, right? That they can be used for more than just killing children?

Luigi Mangione seemed to get it.

We aren't in your timezones, so we're not going to join your Discords.

You need a second civil war

Ok another thing people haven't really touched on is government restrictions on dangerous shit generally. I'm not just talking about guns, but also cars. When I was in the states I saw so many car accidents and bits of car on the road. That doesn't need to happen. It turns out that if you have proper driving tests and mandatory classes, people don't crash as much. Same with guns though. Owning a gun is fine if you learn how to properly use and store it.

The level of uneducation in the US is a threat to the entire species. Most of Ylyour people are uneducated, fat and dangerous. After the last election, I have lost hope in the US as a collectivity, you deserve your unfair system because you chose it. You elected a convict rapist, fellon, racist, fat billionaire who doesn't pay taxes and tried to steal the election, your deserve to be treated the way you will be, you made a choice.

That Europeans have running water

Americans invented neither the car not the computer.

In foreign countries, the people don't always speak English or "American" and shouldn't be expected to bow down to you.

The root of their problems is not political or politicians it's greedy capitalism. Arguably it's also the root of their morally ambiguous success.

You need gun control. Your country isn’t that great. Youre loud and can come across as false.

Ok, so I'm going to do one that's actually likely to be downvoted by the Americans here.

Sometimes censorship is necessary for a safer society.

ITT Europeans tell us shit we already know about changes most of us want because they don't understand gerrymandering and the electoral college

You're the "Old World" now.

It's basically been ~~350~~ 250 (edit: correction) years now since US independence, and a decent while now at being a global power (~100-150 years?). These are timelines akin to that from the European Renaissance to the US Revolution (~1400-1800) and the UK emerging from the 1500s to being the "super power" in the war of independence.

Now, with the world's oldest constitution, and probably, depending on who you talk to, an increasingly critical mass of antiquated ideals and systems, the Presidency is more like the Monarchs of past revolutions than what remains of those monarchies, and the US's ideals and cultural influence something which most would rather move on and upgrade from.

Generally, I'd say it's one of the weirder and subtler historical events happening right now: the dissolving of the old lines between the "old" and "new" worlds. For me personally, this was once made clear when visiting Hannover, Germany, and its tourist attraction, the "New Town Hall", where someone who lives in British Columbia, Canada pointed out the similarities with their Parliament Building. The thing is though that the Canadian building is about 15 years older (both being just over 100 years old). Colonialism is long enough ago and Europe (and likely any other "old" culture, such as China) rebuilt enough and recently enough, that like X-genners and Millennials, the whole "young, hip, cool rebel" thing just doesn't mean anything anymore.

You should do this for other countries too. America isn't the only country with an idealised view of what other people think of them.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume that you are talking about Americans in the sense of the Americans who live in the USA.

God-damnit guys, not everything is about you.

Now, I don't know if USA inhabitants are not ready to hear it, but certainly Lemmy USA residents are not.

Like it or not, you guys have a GREAT COUNTRY in the USA

Worldwide, people envy you. The poorest inhabitant of the USA has rights, possibilities and duties that only the richest in any other country can only dream of.

For God's sake, people are literally willing to kill themselves trying to reach your country, to have an atom of freedom that you guys squander with petty squabbles.

No USA proper citizen has ever been in the need so dire to escape the USA that they need to build a raft to risk their lives to go anywhere from their Homeland.

For that same reason, collectivists worldwide hate you and your country with undying hate. Because you (as in your society) don't need them. And they do need you. And they resent this so much, that they're willing to destroy you all just to stop that from being true.

You guys have lived so cozy and accommodated lives, thanks to the disrespected sacrifices made willingly by millions that you are bored out of your minds.

So much in fact, that with a little nudge from the collectivists worldwide seeking your destruction, you yourselves plunge willingly into the chaos of unmaking by allowing the collectivist mindset to pollute your youngest.

Make no mistake, the USA will keep growing and thriving, like it or not.

But not thanks to your internal or external enemies. That's for sure.

Edit: the upvote to downvote ratio tells me I followed the post premise to a T

They’re wrong.
