What I dont get is on one hand: americans are
- smartest
- richest
- biggest military
- most belligerent
- most paedofilic
- most selfish country on the planet
yet on the other hand they complain
- why dont you like us
- why dont you know where Idaho is
- why cant i pay with mercan dollars
- why cant i bring my planet killing pickup to your medieval village
- why wont you fight my wars for me
- give israel enough money that their citizens get free healthcare, education and subsidised housing while americans get none of it
why cant i bring my planet killing pickup to your medieval village
?

I have been to cities like this. I have driven cars in places like this (i lived internationally for a while) and it doesn’t feel right. I don’t have money to travel now, but if I did, I would just walk.

Most of the people I know are working class and can’t travel overseas for vacation (if they even can afford to have one). Seeing it on TV is completely different than experiencing it.
