“The US should do X and they suck because they don’t!” Each state has it’s own laws on education. Some places suck, some do not. It’s not a monolith.
“The US has shitty beer lol” We have some of the best beer in the world but it’s local/state/region only and never exported unlike fancy Euro beer.
The US for better or worse is a, hmmm 🤔 a unity of government states under a federation called America. It’s very hard to get federal laws and bills passed, especially for education. The states want the power to chooses for themselves what they do, and the federal government hangs above them, sometimes intervening.
We are a huge country that has a relatively unique circumstance of government, population, and young brutal history. I’m a Californian and I live in the Bay Area which almost literally a different country than most of America, especially the South and Midwest.
I’m so sick of people, especially smug Europeans, talking like they know Americans and America but they don’t really know shit about us except the movies and going to NYC and Miami.
Yes I am having a bad day.
To be honest I love Europe and have friends there that I miss dearly! I’ve been many times. But dumbassery is dumbassery.
EDIT: You people are an exhausting swarm of pecking ravens and I’ve spent all the “toxic” energy I want arguing with half you because you just hear what you want to hear and fit the stereotype I loathe I think you only commented out of trained reflex and a few of you are just unsophisticated haters. Whatever, fuck you, and all that jazz.
I bet I say black lives matter, eat the rich, kill all billionaires, fuck the police, ACAB, hugs not bombs, no pity for the majority, and once or twice occupy. Def no not all men though. But I thought yes all men was poorly thought out.
If you want my pedigree of the things I believe from far left groups and ideologies and just things I might say at a rally you can’t have it because you’re a douche.
as someone who considers themselves left wing, you certainly fit into the right wing ideal of ‘american exceptionalism’, even going so far to generalise a whole part of the world.
racism usually isnt a tenent of the left, but i guess i just ‘dont understand’ how you guys do it over there :)
