“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.
The United States is a country. You don’t get to pretend that it’s not just because it’s internally chaotic. The United States is the parts that make it up. Explaining why it is dysfunctional doesn’t stop it from being dysfunctional. And it is dysfunctional…
That isn’t the point of my post. Yeah, it a country and it’s fucked up. But what you think of as dysfunctional we call that the feature. That’s literally the point of the whole shebang. But yeah it’s also dysfunctional but I wasn’t talking about that. It’s about broadstoked accusations of “Americans” who are 320M people in the most diverse country in the world that chaps my ass, especially coming from a bullying, superior, dick in a turtleneck (my Eurodouche stereotype of choice).
What’s the point of the post then? That some regions are a little less fucked up? That you are all distinct cultures in your 50 states of native genocide?
All your comments are referring to the smug Europeans, without even realizing that Europe is actually not just a supranational government but individual, actually cultural distinct, countries. You know, with traditions, customs, language, social order of their own, usually for a few hundred years longer than you people even ran off, because you couldn’t be capitalist or religious enough over here.
All your country is, is the sum of the worst parts of Europe wrapped in nazi germany derived military superiority (in keeping with the generalized cliches).
