Americans really think they own the world sometimes, and truly underestimate the disdain the world has for them.
That is the opposite of unpopular.
We really don't have disdain for the Americans. Most Americans I've met have been great.
I, as someone in a third world country, absolutely hate US foreign policy. Fuck you, we almost had a democracy for a minute. We didnβt need your highways either.
But you canβt blame these actions in the people of the US, as nor the army nor the FBI, CIA, and the other three letters are democratic.
Yeah this is not an unpopular opinion, especially on a site like this.
Until they want something. Then it's hands out pls send tanks daddy.
And vice versa. Stop asking America for money.
We do own the world, and its not that we don't underestimate their disdain for us, we just don't care because we don't have to
We are special
LMAO white snowflakes think they are special... your overly proud attitude psyops is not working that well now. In less than a decade, USA pop culture will become as obscure as the amount of shit given by Brits about UK Royal Family.
Im not a Caucasian im an immigrant, the US is simply different than any other country, it attracts the most hardworking and smartest people from around the world
Then why are Chinese scientists leaving at the rate of over 20% per year? Others are leaving too, after seeing that the money is not worth potential loss of life and dignity, after the support for Ukrainian fascism and US/Europe encouraging racism against non-whites has been propped up.
