You're already fucked, but your opiates of shitty TV, pissy beer, fast food and the satisfaction that you seem to enjoy when you see people who are really suffering seem to placate you

My god, update your stereotypes. There are SOOO many things to shit in the US for but these make you look uncultured.

The US makes some of the best TV in the world. And unless you've got state run media, your country is full of the same trash TV.

I see you're ignorant to the local breweries all across the country. Do you shit on dutch beer because of Heineken, too?

The fast food thing has some merit because yeah, it's trash. But American cuisine is as varied as all of Europe. Calling out fast food feels like a nitpick. You've got lazy fast food slobs in your country, too.

All of which really makes the last part seem undeservedly arrogant

Americunt exceptionalism in action.

Have you ever watched non-American tv? I really doubt you have ever watched anything that was not produced in the English language.

I mostly watch British shows. But you're kind of right about the last part, the last non-english show I watched was the second season of Kongen Befaler and I feel like that doesn't count.

So, does the US not make some of the best TV shows? Or are you only aware of the sitcoms and reality shows?

I spend a lot of time in the US

I'm over there a few times every year

I've had some amazing experiences there, but I'm talking about the US masses, not the intelligent and worldly individuals

The average yank is a fucking idiot

Bright people are always going to be bright. The value of an education system is to help the vast majority of people who are just average

The US "education" system fails everyone, but those who have natural gifts are able to get somewhere

Don't even get me started on the idea that unless something has a dollar figure attached, it is of no value

The superficial consumerism is bizarre and grotesque, particularly when there's so much wealth concentrated in one country, yet people die from treatable diseases and starve in the streets.
