Americans on the Internet will often heartily agree with foreigners about all kinds of things that are shit in America and need to be changed: public transit, walkability, health care costs, university costs, money in politics, lack of basic geographic knowledge, etc.
Of course there are some more conservative folks who may be more resistant to those critiques, but the average American will just nod along. If you mention on this website that healthcare in the US can be insanely expensive, you'll mostly see agreement from Americans.
- lazyasciiart 4mo agoAmericans on the internet don't have confederate flags up and vote for Trump either. If you wanted to talk about how patriotism manifests on the internet, say so.
- TulliusCicero 4mo agoAmericans IRL only rarely have Confederate flags these days. If you want to discuss the extreme right, say so.
- lazyasciiart 4mo agoI see them IRL in Washington state, which makes them unthinkably common IMO. But it is hilarious to see you respond so defensively to my comment saying Americans dislike criticism of their country.
- TulliusCicero 4mo agoAh, so pointing out the truth is "so defensive". Amazing! Yes, there are members of the extreme right even in WA state. There's more of them in red states, but there's certainly some in blue states as well.
- mlrtime 4mo ago"confederate flags up and vote for Trump " lumping these two together clearly shows your bias and lack of knowledge on who actually voted for Trump in the last election. He won every demographic except one.
- DiscourseFan 4mo agoYeah but those guys are also complaining about shit and agree with people from outside who make those same complaints. Its just that they are wackos.
- mlrtime 4mo ago>f you mention on this website that healthcare in the US can be insanely expensive, you'll mostly see agreement from Americans. Because conservatives/progressives agree on this. What they disagree on is how to fix it.
