Ask Lemmy

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

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.

American cars suck.

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.

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

You wasted your chance as a hyper-power. The Soviet Union had fallen and the world was essentially yours but you did nothing with it. Now India and China are rising powers and you are going back to being a regular super-power.

Americans invented neither the car not the computer.

Anybody on this platform already knows all the problems and how it can be better. Anyone preaching here hoping an American will read it and change are just wasting keystrokes.

We know it's bad. Unfortunately there's not much anyone of us here can do besides bitch and moan, or else we wouldn't be on Reddit Ultra.

That being said, German McDonald's have chicken wings and they're pretty amazing.

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

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

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.

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

You need a second civil war

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.

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

America is the whole continent. You guys just fenced the worst part of it.

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.

Americans are some of the most unintelligent people on earth
