Part of becoming an adult over here is growing up and realizing that you dont want to move to the US. That show is better watched from afar. :')

I once told an American that I'd rather live in a decent African country like Mauritius or Namibia than anywhere in the USA, and I'm pretty sure I broke their brain.

And that's only because the brain couldn't comprehend that there are places OTHER than Americaย

Although I should probably keep my mouth shut, my country has somehow got racists in power and they are destroying everthing my country stands for!

Damn russian troll influencers! Turned out our racist party had funding from Kreml. The Quran burnings was them trying to stop us from entering NATO and instill unrest.

Also, I lost a friend to those racists, he was usually a coolheaded guy that didnt fall for tinfoil hat stuff. But he was PANICKED about muslims taking control and ruling with sharia laws. Like bruh wut?? That is not even on the map and he wants to prevent it by creating Soviet era laws here instead?? Effing creeps.

You guys have probably been hit by russian activists too.. for some time.

I was in a comment section a LONG time ago, where the some people from the BLM movement complained about masked people appearing around their demonstrations, whose actions made BLM look bad. Like vandalism, thefts and such. BLM people did not mask themselves though, so the vandals were not part of the movement. But how was people supposed to know that?

There was a someone responding to those comments that said their country had problems too, some kind of group was actively trying to destabilise the country by playing different opinionated fractions against eachother. At the time, he did not know who the instigators were, but guess what country he was from? Ukraine. So yeah.

Last time I checked, Trump is no longer the president and hasnโ€™t been for almost four years. Now it will be up to us in the United States to keep it that way, but he is not president now.

True, although that botched assassination attempt made it more likely.

Please do keep it that way though, I would prefer the mentioned sh*tshow to reference the last time he held that office.

I grew up being told over and over that the US was the best country in the world and never really questioned it until I started seeing how things were done in other places, especially Europe, and realized how shitty we have it in a lot of ways.

He's not looking for approval tho? I'm pretty sure most people outside of the US can see the shitshow everyday just from Reddit and Twitter. It's not an uncommon sentiment.
