Europeans talk a lot of smack for a continent that is rapidly approaching fascism at more or less the same rate as America, if a little slightly behind. Maybe y'all could fix it if you got over yourselves.
P.S. I'm not American.

As an American, I do the exact same thing ๐
I'm from Asia and honestly it's really tiring to hear people keep making fun of Americans.
It was never funny to bring up shit like children fucking dying from school shootings in a snarky comment, and I think any reasonable person with actual, genuine concern for the world's problems understands that if all we had to do was give, everyone would well have fucking received already.
As an American, we can laugh at tragedy sometimes.
For example, that my 7yos phone was probably made by people younger than him. And one of those kids probably killed themselves jumping off a factory building so my kid could be safe from a school shooting.
See? Absolutely hysterical.
Gets Nonna's stick with the little hook on it, Child beauty pageants, Oxycontin, MM/DD/YYYY
And my opioid addiction!
Stop, I can only get so hard.
Also slavery and coups
It's only a problem if you identify with America and its mental culture. Which country doesn't have some unsavoury aspect, past or present? Americans have an incredibly fragile and insecure self conception.
