    It’s endlessly hilarious to me that yanks can’t understand that the civilised world aren’t like them, and don’t want to be like them

    Because we’re better than them

      Erm. This kind of exceptionalism is exactly why we despise Magastan. I hope the irony of your statement isn’t lost on you, or that you are just trolling.

          People don’t choose which country they are born in(to). I also despise their exceptionalism, but that doesn’t mean I am inclined to feel like I am better than anyone else based on where I was born.

            People’s “value” isn’t baked into them at the moment of birth. Being a shitty person might not be that person’s “fault” but they can still be an objectively shitty person and the reasons don’t always matter.

              Not sure how that relates to the point I made. That said, the reasons do matter, otherwise you can’t start looking for potential solutions.

      I’m an american and seeing that the comments here are about america baffles me. The meme is good as-is.
