I'm not even going to go that deep. I'm not American so after moving here, Americans are way harder to reach than I thought. Just the general complete arrogance, overconfidence, American exceptionalism/chauvinism that didn't exist nearly as much even in other Anglo countries I've lived in
Also people are so proud about being un-empathetic here lol. Like literally everybody is like "yea New Yorkers are just so nonchalant and chill that they'll ignore somebody bleeding out or having a psychotic episode on the subway". Like it's literally cool to completely ignore human suffering/crises happening in a public crowded place because caring about others is literally cringe, especially on public transit for whatever reason
At the same time they’ll see a video of something similar happening in a foreign country and go “this is proof those ethnics are uncaring bug-people devoid of human empathy. which is why we have to exterminate them”
"They're way too overpopulated which is why lives of people are worth less than they are in Europe or here, they just have so many people it doesn't matter that much if a person dies every day in front of them"
They're projecting so hard about how little they care about non-Westerners and how supply-demand brained they view humanity
It's insanity, like men who can't make cereal think they're shepards leading sheep because they're so daring as to believe american propaganda and there's literally millions of people to tell them they're correct
Hard.
I've tried for four years to emphasize exactly why I gave up on Amerikans, why I just let myself bitter into genuine hatred. You've nailed every single point. The Amerikan ethos has never been "give me your poor, your shunned, and your throwaways"-- it has always been "this is mine, hands off it or die." Fuck it. Let them wallow in their own blood and shit like the pigs they are. My energy is better saved and better spent just looking for a way out. I've got nothing and no one to preserve here.
the other anglo countries experience regular humiliation by their political class being complete toadies for the US.
