There are tons of things to critisize about plenty of places. I totally get the desire to do so. I’m not talking about any flavor of it in particular. Like idc what your politics are it still applies. I just find it so pointless. Other than cases like Israel where they’re like publically slaughtering thousands of innocents and the entire world is in agreement over it being a problem. (And the US is also pretty responsible for that anyway).
Like the US is a mess. It’s by far the most destructive force on Earth. It bombs, pollutes, economically sanctions, etc to other countries. It treats its own people like shit too. No healthcare, Student debt, etc.
So if you’re in the US why would you ever waste your limited time critisizing like for example, Chinese internet censorship, or Mexico having a crime problem, or any of this other bullshit? When there are so many more pressing issues to be worried about right in your own backyard? We all have limited energy and time. 100% of that should be going towards the things that need fixed in the US itself. Everything else is just a distraction.
Edited to add this image before I stop interacting with this post because I think it was the best comment on the post. To anyone mad at my post ask ChatGPT what “White Man’s Burden” means. :)
They’re literally not addressing what I said in the slightest. They also did a false quote “As Americans”. Which is such a typically American thing to do. I never once used the term American.
The Americas are a big place. There are lots of countries here. That is why I try not to use the term American when talking about people from the USA. It’s something I do slip into sometimes but I’m trying to break the habit. That is why I pointed it out as many people from Latin America would call people from the US estadunidenses for example. It’s more precise. Less ignorant.
You’re nowhere near as clever or original as you think you are, kid
