Eh… shitty people exist outside of the United States. We just happen to be very loud about it.
Take, for example, the British. They’re huge assholes, too. Have been for centuries. And everyone hated them the most long before we Americans came along. And, of course, it makes total sense that our country is one of their offspring, so to speak. Funny how the Canadians turned out to be so polite. The jury is still out on the Australians…
Australians are the Gen X of the world, a bunch of cunts, best ignored.
Canadian politeness is founded on ignoring the genocide at home.
Mmm I’m pretty sure I can be polite and recognize generational trauma of indigenous peoples
The Australian jury has gone down to the pub.
Not really sure what that has to do with my comment.
On a side note Australians are known to be racist cunts. New Zealander's are by accounts the equivalent of Canadians
