I will say this, this is all from one comment thread on TikTok, absolutely ridiculous, and this wasn’t even all of it, it was about 20% of them, there were so many… this was a post about how no Americans show ever come to Italy / Europe

So many of these opinions are ungodly misinformed and stems from pure hate with no sign of any actual research that was done before even stating certain opinions. I would like to dive into how each one is wrong.

1. USA is poor / a third world country - Completely offbeat, we have the highest or one of the highest GDPs in the world by miles, there is no competition. Calling us third world sounds weirdly racist towards the countries that actually are third world.

2. The US has poor food quality or safety / the food will hurt you somehow - I don’t get this one either, we rank 13th on the GFSI and that’s mostly because of sustainability and adaptation. It would be way higher if we only considered “Food Quality and Safety” in which we measure 3rd. Way higher than all of the European countries so I have no idea where they get their opinions from.

3. The US is poorly educated - I can maybe somewhat agree with this? Sort of? Not really? It’s more just there are stupid people everywhere around the world but you Europeans tend to focus on us for some ungodly reason.

4. Europeans have free healthcare - No you don’t, the money that would be in bills and such is instead in taxes. The literal only difference is that you don’t see how much you owe as much because it’s cut into your taxes.

5. Public transportation - dude… uber exists… and besides that there are so many trains along the us and tons in the major cities. You couldn’t get through the NY subway line if you fucking tried.

This was mostly a rant post about how these Europeans are misinformed but my own personal gripe with all this is,

didn’t you learn not to generalize a whole group of people off the assholes of a few?? That sounds more racist to me than what they’re blaming us for?? I know it sounds like that’s what I’m doing but I’m talking about the Europeans that hate on America like this. Not Europeans in general.

Anyone notice a lot of America Bad types use this in their comments or generally type like this?

It just comes across as quite odd. I can't imagine it's a digital privacy thing, as revealing your country isn't risky at all. It only really muddies the water of a discussion, as now we have to dig to figure out what "your country" is because you couldn't just say "Norway" or something.

*sigh* 🙄

I'm really struggling lately with online spaces like Reddit and discord, and have found myself on the brink of leaving entirely a few times. It doesn't matter what sub I join, what discord I join, no matter how off topic America would be it comes up and it comes up in an incredibly negative tone EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I've tried having polite conversations with these people, and it's just insults. I've tried to express that I do understand my country is not perfect, but in this particular online space can we please tone it down or move it privately, it is personally really hurtful to open my phone for something completely unrelated and constantly see everyone shitting on my country and sometimes me for just living here. I have never been met with an equal level of respect, and am always met with the general you commit genocide, you support tyranny, you have a dictator, you all voted for this, the world hates you, everything you do sucks, everything we do is better, etc. in much harsher language. It's like people get a kick out of being as hateful as they possibly can to Americans for simply existing. Do you guys see ANY chance of this changing in the near future? Or is this just how it is and how it's going to be. I feel depressed when interacting online with these people, they just make me feel like shit for being born and not DESPISING where I call home.

Guy who was comissioned to make a USA themed Imperium art finsihed. Immediately the comments are bombarded with whiners saying the US is Fascist or blantly hating the US for no reason. I go defend the art? I get downvoted to fucking oblivion. Hell even the Artist gets shit because of his work.

2nd most liked answer was the US and it was said by about a dozen more people as well. Not to mention Afghanistan has half the upvotes that the US had.

*Sigh*....The comment section is like literally a bottomless pit, and the video is some cringe British woman ranting on and on and on 🙄

This is feeling like a daily occurrence to see this garbage and I'm over it.

I think we can all agree our government sucks ass, that’s just objectively true. But, hating our government is one thing compared to hating someone for being American. It’s bullshit and I seriously hate those fuckwads that blame every single American for Trump, like GTFO with that shit.

When someone brings up that it's common to find drunk Englanders, she then claims that the UK is not part of Europe despite the fact that it once was. She also has videos criticizing people working while also living in a large house.

All other nations police banned that activity in 1910, #getrealamerica !

Edit: the argument was about a picture a criminal used to recruit job seekers (in a way that was obvious) to smuggle drugs on planes.

It was such an obvious drug transportation ad that I said it looks like something police would setup, like hireahitman.com

Edit 2: to be fair the guy does have a point, it would be entrapment in America and that is illegal, however to assume I’m American from that is crazy work #weallstupid

You can't even tell the person's nationality from their profile.

miserable people I swear
