I find those who say a certain country is the best usually have never ventured outside its borders. I find those who claim a certain country is a chit-hole usually have never been there. I ignore the opinions of these people.

Huh? You ever been outside the US? As someone who visits dozens of countries a year, interacts with hundreds of non Americans a year, I find few foreigners want to be like us or have our culture. There is some hatred of Americans, yes, but it's because of our culture and it's not widespread.

Very glad I don't live there.

A totally divisive culture based on both race, views and political affiliation. And a leader who is honestly a complete moron and can't even keep himself under control on social media. A society based on individual rights first and what is good for the overall collective second.

It's been interesting watching the slow decline. COVID just sparked the explosives.

Its mental how many Americans are posting in here about how great their country is despite it being glaringly obvious that theyve never actually been abroad.

(Stats back me up on this, only like 40% of you guys own a passport?).

Literally nobody wants to try and be like America.
Nobody wants to see their children get shot in school, nor do we then want to for the medical bills which arise from that.
Nobody wants to eat processed crap food (Try importing American food into the EU, your standards are ridicolously low).
Nobody else wants their Doctors to be operating in a similar fashion as a ****in smack dealer does.

Also nobody else feels the need to chop their foreskins off at birth (Its almost as though private health care leads to the sale of pointless medical stuff).

Then theres the police spending how much money on weapons? Most of which have shown they arent even qualified to operate a toothpick.

Tldr: Americas a dump and none of you guys have passports so stop talking out of your arses!

I think the US is like every other country, positives and negatives. However, I think the positives far outweigh any negatives.

Maybe for some younger people on here this is new, but for us older folks anytime something like this happens I am reminded of the Rodney King riots.

Edit: to the guy who said the same thing is happening in Canadian cities like Toronto you couldn’t be more wrong.

the issue is not that they can't protect them, its that doing so is difficult as **** when your goal is to not kill people

The rioters will everything and anything they can to stoke violence and refuse to leave, authorities/army need to move them out without killing anyone. That is difficult as fuk

cali has a population of 39.5 mil. so lets say 40. florida has 21

so, 2 states about 2700 miles apart represent the entirety of the uk population wise. or about 5 mil more than england alone

if you throw in nyc, just one city, it's > the entirety of UK

there's still 48 other states. when you guys speak about "england" or the uk i can't remember which land-mass wise you're talking about a country about the size of Minnesota

vastly different circumstances controlling much more population upon much more land more vastly spread out

Ive lived in a couple of European cities.

Europe as a whole doesnt have the same kinda issues you get in the States mate. Jus like you said larger land masses require different resources.....over here were able to deal with all that **** ontop of the gazillion different language/cultural differences on the continent.

Fragile Americans get offended when they hear Spanish being spoken in public, The language of your very own neighbours.

lol at all the foreigners that have been jealous of the US forever chiming in talking about a collapse, 2nd world country as they sit in countries that will have NO opposition to the slow communist creep taking them over.

Outsiders do not seem to understand, the "news" theyre watching is biased in one direction. We normal Americans haven't even begun to fight back, we're leaving it up to law enforcement- for now. Ffs the good guys havent fired a single shot yet lulz

In all seriousness, if POTUS tweeted "Rise Up America" one time chit would go from 0-100 and we would wipe our asses with these weak communist yuppies srs.

Nah. True americans get mad when spanish is designated as an official second language to appease the hoards of illegals flooding into the US without an inkling of desire to learn english.

America is just experiencing what it deserves.

Toxic country, a circus of the worst of humanity.

- Decades of racism
- Elect a toxic moron as their president
- Beta populace (overweight, health issues)
- Gun culture, love a mass shooting.

Combine all that its no small wonder you get racist beta cops on power trips. Funny seeing the "greatest country on earth" implode.

The USA>>>>> Canada. No beta cuck PM. No 50k a year salaries for something that would see double that in the US. If you're in finance and tech, you could probably double your salary in the US

Yes Canadians are jealous that in America, if you have complications during childbirth, you could lose your home trying to pay for it.


If Trump tweeted "rise up America" chit would go from 0-5 mebbe 7

The murder was ****ed up. But the bigger issue is the rioters destroying millions of dollars of property, killing multiple people and assaulting people.

Ive lived about Europe, mentioned this before.

Thats kinda my point, Whats so wrong with having a second language? Especially when half your continent speaks Spanish.

You even followed it up with a fragile little comment just as I mentioned 👌.

Tbh, most of the world look down on Americans. But I think thats cuz we are a little bit jealous.

I'm just mad they didn't end with the riots yet. I think that if it was in Europe it would have ended at this point.

From the outside looking in (from a brah who's lived on 3 continents)...

Hopelessly divided to the point where issues & ideas are not discussed rationally anymore. People just retreat to "their sides position" & then fling poop & scream "fake news" at each other.

Every multicultural country has some racial tensions. But USA's is most visibly manifested by authoritarian, paramilitary style policing which strangles people on the regular. Again the dumb partisan politics gets in the way when a Govt dept is empowered to try and improve policing outcomes & methods & identify rotten precincts/cops (the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department) Trump dismantled & defunds it because it was the other teams idea. So the issue has gone nowhere toward improvement.

The president was elected on a race baiting platform. Not surprised it blew up again but it has happened on every presidents watch.

USA has walked away from being influential internationally- left the global field to China & can no longer win a war in the Pacific vs China (according to your own wargames over the last 5-10 years). Putin has Trump in his pocket- he grabs bits of countries with no pushback, interferes in your elections openly & Donald is subservient to him (see body language when they meet. Xi has also called Trumps bluff & won every encounter- never met trade goals, continued to devalue the RMB, taken HK etc.

Basically the end of USA as the global power has come all in a rush when it reached the tipping point of a powerful China, a pandemic crisis & race tensions all at once with a leader who I guess is domestically popular enough but the rest of the world just sees as weak, ineffective, out of his depth & easily manipulated. All bluff but never ACTUALLY follows through and delivers anything, it's all just sound bites for domestic consumption.

Basically it's the beginning of the end for AMerica. Over the course of years (mini comebacks aside), it's a slow decline now.
