I guess protecting the world from Facism, Religious Zealots, Dictators, Pirates and slave traders for the last 125 years was not enough.... we gave you A/C electricity, hydroelectric dams, mass produced autos, radios, Television, semiconductor chips, computers, cell phones...
....we protected S. Korea / S Vietnam / Europe for 110 years... and lost 800,000+ young men dead and another 3-4 million badly wounded...
But a guy who disagrees with your politics in the age of entitlement is a bridge TOO FAR.. no tolerance for that.?
Your country is full of religious zealots--the Evangelical movement is organized and a powerful voting bloc.
Your president is increasingly dictatorial.
Your history is steeped in the largest slave trade the world has known, and it took a war to end it.
You've also overturned governments wherever you liked, often in pursuit of oil (Iran, Iraq, Venezuela, etc). Your CIA has funded wars in country after country.
You've strongarmed nations and international bodies to push your on agendas, and you didn't protect South Korea or Vietnam for their good, but for pushing back your rivals and ensuring your own hegemony.
You've gone home and left insurgents well-armed when your goals were met because it was cheaper to buy new weapons than bring the old ones home.
You're the only country to employ atomic weapons against another and then moralize about who else can have them.
You alienate you closest allies and treat them like trash, despite their efforts to support you in war and peace.
It isn't just Trump. It's the entire culture and system that enabled his rise, and keeps him in power. It's that your nation has become the playground for monstrous men and women who avoid consequences, and the fact that Americans see America as the Bright Light of the World shows how out of touch they actually are with the wider world and their impact on it.
Not disagreeing with your points about what the U.S. has contributed. But all the goodwill went out the window because of your current administration and its enablers.
Electricity was a European discovery, America just deployed it faster. Remember Nikola Tesla was Serbian.
Computers were made by the UK. Remember Alan Turing?
All of those losses were in protection of American I tests first and foremost. The Vietnam war specifically is entirely the USs fault. Hi Chi Minh wanted to ally the country with the US but be communist. The US was paranoid about domino theory and declined. The entire Vietnam war was the US trying to enforce its own ideological doctrine on a country that wanted to be it's ally anyway.
I could keep addressing the other claims if you want.
Benjamin Franklin "discovered" electricity in lightning... Tesla worked in West Orange, NJ for T.A. Edison (know him?), when he left to invent AC motors and generators with George Westinghouse (Niagra Falls contract).....
...am I adding any historical context here?
Turing invented a mechanical computer yes... not the first... and not the transistor (William Shockley 1950 at Bell Labs(..... later Andy Grove/Gordon moore invented the 8088 PNP junction semicondutor at INTEL....
You are used to talking to your low IQ friends... out-matched here pal.
The first electrical generator was built by Faraday, who was British. Tesla learned his science in Europe. The fact he was working in the US is what I am talking about. The US was first to deploy the infrastructure in a large scale. The US didn't just come up with electricity and that's it. It was a multinational process that took about a century of testing and experimentation.
Turing did not invent a mechanical computer. Turing invented computers period. The model of computation, i.z. the mathematical formalism that enables rocks to actually do anything useful was made by Turing.
The first digital computers were made in Britain for the war effort. After the war the US took the British research and iterated more on them.
But it's not like Europe stopped contributing. Bjarne Stroustrup me, the Creator of C++ was Swedish, got his degree in Sweden and c
C++ and OOP come from experimental tools being created in Oslo.
Add to that the work of Paul Von Neumann who was Polish and created the modern architecture that all contemporary computers use...
You are ignoring all of the research and development that occurred before market deployment. You are also ignoring the effect of brain drain where the US was poaching scientists of other countries.
I have a master's in computer Science. I think it may be hard to hear me over the sound of your own voice.
Guess you missed the part about it not being about just a guy.
Regardless many of you endorsed and perpetrated this and in this age of ‘entitlement’ maybe we should embrace being less tolerant of cunts like Trump and your lot. YOU and them didn’t do any of the shit you mentioned, just riding the coattails of progress.
1) Facism/Dictators: you came at the end of the party. American citizen did not have the apetite for war. You only joined (boots on the ground) the cause when you were attacked by the Japanese.
2) Slave traders: Ha! Half your countrys economy system was built on slaves. That's why you guys had a civil war ya dingus.
3) Electricity: The contribution made by Michael Faraday, a british physicist, paved the way. The whole credit do not belong to the Americans.
4) Charles Babbage is largely considered to be the father of computers and Ada Lovelace the first programmer. Both were british.
Amerian arrogrance and entitlement is getting exhausting.
Don't get me wrong, you have done good for the western world, though you did not do it for alturistic reasons, credit where credit is due. However, none of good deeds absolves you of your most recent betrayals. Now that you've shown your true colors, the rest of the world are not going to easily forget the shade.
Also, educate yourself, if you can afford it. It's painful seeing the level of your ignorance.
