    Americans are narcissists, gluttons, and cowards as a national trait. It’s inherent in their national pride. And yet the rest of us are constantly surprised by what they allow to happen within their country and what they allow their country to do the rest of the world. It shouldn’t be that surprising.

    And before you guys get all ragey at me, I understand not all Americans are like this. But you have to do a little more inward reflection than you usually do to understand why everybody else hates you guys.

      You need to understand that the cohort of American users on this platform overwhelmingly agree with you on a lot of the deficiencies of our countrymen. You’re preaching to the choir here.

          The way you phrased your comment was pretty unambiguously hostile and absolutist. That’s probably where the downvotes are coming from: the fact that you’re being an asshole, not the fact that you’re on point.

      Which flawless nation do you come from where you can talk like your shit don’t stink too?
