Not sure why I haven’t seen more posting about this. Piggy decided to project onto some poor newswoman.

Yes because America is only one persons opinion.
Oh, no
There are so many amazingly stupid people there. The difference is that stupid people in most countries are ashamed of it, whereas it’s seen almost as a virtue in many parts of 'Murica
There’s more to it than that though. It’s not just about stupidity, it’s about ignorance
Yanks are indoctrinated. They’re taught a load of bullshit about their own history, and it’s all done very deliberately, before they are able to think critically
The whole notion of 'Murica borders on being a religion
The place is a fucking joke, but the world isn’t laughing because it is a cruel place, stolen, built by slaves, full of childish, selfish and angry people
Anti intellectualism is rampant everywhere. It’s dangerous to act like far right anti intellectual populism isn’t a rampant global phenomenon right now. Sure its easier to see it in the declining USA empire as it collapses in part due to its like far right anti intellectual populism, but its everywhere.
It’s everywhere, for sure
Few other countries have such influence globally though, and that’s where it gets to be such a problem
Yes but let us generalize and focus out hatred on Americans even though they’re largely the victims here.
Not the people, the country. The system that has created this
I pity the American people. I don’t hate them (well, I hate a few of them)
Thank you for clarifying, since a lot of people do seem to hate us in general.

Boy howdy when I found this the first time I was in high school. What an eye opener! It explained so much of what I experienced in school and the beliefs my peers carried.
It looks like this article first popped up in 2006, that tracks, I first read it before 2011 and after 2007.
If not for the indoctrination and constant bombardment by vested media, this shit wouldn’t be happening the way it is
It’s easy to punch up
Come on, that is a pretty warped way of looking at things. How many Americans do you actually know in real life, not just people you have bumped into online? Yes, there are definitely groups in the U.S. that fit the stereotype you are talking about, but it is a huge leap to act like that applies to the entire country. It is a bit like saying all Russians hate democracy and want the world to fall apart. We both know that is not how things really work.
Think about it like this. If we went to the World Cheese Awards in Switzerland, you might assume every single person there is a cheese fanatic. I can promise you we would still find at least one person who does not care about cheese at all or barely knows anything about it. People are unpredictable like that.
Just because a large part of a group behaves badly does not mean everyone in that group is the same. It is worth slowing down and remembering that individuals are far more varied than the loudest or worst examples of the group they happen to be in.
Tldr: we ain’t all the same bruv
I spend a lot of time in the US. I’m over several times every year.
Even the relatively normal yanks have still been indoctrinated into worshipping material possessions, jealousy, fucking someone over so that they can get more
It’s a country where everyone is terrified of everyone else, and for good reason. Sure, there are outliers, but the population as a whole is fundamentally culturally different to the civilised world
It’s not their fault, their society has been carefully engineered to be this way by some powerful and evil people
As an American: we’re the same enough
As an English speaker I can tell you that makes zero sense.
Fine, how about “we’re enough the same”
What about the >50% of the electorate?
I’m sorry how many people is that again? Since when did 50% count as a whole?
It is literally representative enough to elect a president.
Lol. You’re right. That MUST mean that ALL Americans are ALWAYS happy with the results of elections.
Typical goal post moving.
The average American was bigoted, mysoginistic, and stupid/malicious enough to elect Trump a second time. That has nothing to do with “the opinions of one person” and it has nothing to do with being happy about that choice almost a year later.
By the way, that doesn’t mean everyone shouldn’t get a chance to show their own colors. I’m not saying everyone, I’m talking averages and majorities.
Every single swing county supposedly went the same way, for the first time ever, for one of the most unpopular candidates ever. That shit was stolen
And some counties had apparently 0 votes for Harris, which is also highly improbable.
However, as much as I like to believe, I’m waiting for evidence before I let myself be taken down the conspiracy hole.
Shh, you’re challenging the right kind of bigotry.
