International rankings of the US are abysmal https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_rankings_of_the_United_States

All of your sitcoms are crap. The same recycled gags over and over. Unpleasant people who hate each other snarking, saying "oh my god" and then explaining their jokes.

American cars suck.

We exist as much as you do. You're not the main character.

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

Americans invented neither the car not the computer.

The irony of euros unloading in a thread that the people who most need to see it will never see, just to feel better about having unloaded, is peak self-serving uselessness.

Get the fuck off of Lemmy and go unload in conservative and Republican cesspits like the fox news vomment section, xhitter, OANN, not here where the vast fucking majority already fucking agree with you.

But you know you can’t do that because that would actually mean going for a swim in political sewage, which means doing actual work for your personal beliefs, and which also means you’re most definitely going to get backlash that you know you won’t get here.

TL;DR: non-US bitching about the US on Lemmy, where nearly all lemmy Americans already agree with them, are as functionally idiotic as the conservative white Americans they’re bitching about.

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

ITT: As per usual, Lemmy thinks living in conditions and condoning them are the same thing

That American exceptionalism is only describing the fact that America continues to have slaves when almost every other nation has banned it completely.

Drastically reduction of guns WILL save your kids lives at school. But not "muh outdated rights from centuries ago".

Btw I'm not against guns, military and officers should have "easy" access to them.

For millions of United States Americans, the so called "American Dream" is achieved in Mexico. They're often illegal immigrants. They often have mental health problems. They gentrify our cities and are entitled as fuck.

Pot calling kettle and all, but I do wish they'd go back to their own shithole country. They have demonized my country for decades and have weaponized the cartels to feed their own addictions. Most of the problems here can be tied directly to their humongous drug problems.

Yankee go home. The United Mexican States is tired of your shit.

Your traffic laws are weird.

• Overtaking/passing on the right

• 4 way stops and whoever comes first can go

• No strict right of way when coming from the right

• Right on red

• Grinding all traffic in all directions over multiple lanes to a stop when a school bus stops

At least the last one I can understand a little with the nearly non-existent pedestrian infrastructure.

Credit scores only exist in the US. Everywhere else just compares your income to your debt.

Edit: apparently there are several other countries with credit scoring systems. The more you know... The US system, at least, is still bullshit designed to stratify economic class not only individually but by gender and with generational impact.

Humanity is doomed because of America. Your anti-environmental capitalism and rapacious foreign policy have altered the world in an entirely negative way, and the only realistic scenario for the US to cut this shit out is by losing a war to a major competitor, such as China. China is hugely flawed itself, but is the less harmful option imo.

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.

Here's one from the Middle East: Fuck your veterans. Y'all were right when you were calling Vietnam vets baby killers, and Afghanistan and Iraq weren't much better. And here's a corollary: Get the fuck out of the Middle East.

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.

Not everything is awful in the US.

Lately I've heard a lot of Americans talk like their country is the worst place in the world. While you do have problems, being grateful for the positive things is also important.
