  I live in and visited multiple countries in Europe. You’re all just as arrogant. The only exception is eastern Europe but they’re just racist/homophobic

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking the generational barriers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What is it with Europeans shitting on Americans on the internet so much lately? If we’re being honest everything that is current day American is either directly or indirectly their fault.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The "We Tried" Award⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Meanwhile it seems like the American consciousness think of the Vietnam War as almost a national scar akin to 9/11.

  That’s because it was the first widely televised war we had ever seen plus it was right in the middle of the Civil rights movement. So a war we lost during a major era of change that influenced American attitudes about warfare and civil rights. It left internal scars

  Really shows you the differences in mindset. Americans hold on to the past like it’s a lifeline while most other places we kinda just deal with shit and move on.

  Well the majority of ppl who remember the Vietnam War are still alive. Considering veterans from Vietnam have health complications from agent orange no one is forgetting anytime soon. Western Europe hasn’t had a major war in almost 80 years

  If ww2 had happened to America the same way it happened to Europe, they would have made it they whole identity and pissed and moaned about it still. We would never hear the end of it.

  This is just a long winded attempt to complain about Americans. Europeans are exactly the same as Americans. You both carry a smug sense of superiority. The only difference is Americans are louder about it. Just look at attitudes about the war in Ukraine or whenever there’s a terrorist attack in western Europe compared to anywhere in the global south. Both act like they’re the center of the world. Plus its kinda hard to gloat about 2 World Wars that you started in the first place. Only reason it was a world war in the first place is because Europeans felt so superior that they went around colonizing everyone because they were better than everyone else and forced them to get involved

  There is no default. You like what you like. That’s my opinion at least. If everyone minded their own damn business this wouldn’t be a topic of discussion anyway

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Switch 2: Is it worth buying?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like how nintendo has this cute and fun image yet they’re the most cut throat, “you’ll own nothing and like it” company in gaming.

  Fuck the switch 2 and if you buy it you’re actively making the community worse by okaying their shitty practices.

  Anything from Nintendo I’m emulating

  There was a cowboy bebop episode kinda like this. Sympathy for the devil I think

  No thanks. Lemmy isn’t great by any means but social media is poison and a direct cause of the current state of affairs

  Or you could just give me examples of famous figures of the ethnicities you mentioned being represented as black. I’ve yet to see Miyamoto Musashi, Santa Ana, Buddha, Alexander the Great, or Saladin played by Morgan Freeman or Idris Elba

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“This script is fantastic. Let’s get Julia Roberts to play Harriet Tubman.”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok where is all this black washing of Asian, arab, latino, etc figures? If anything they get white washed as much as black figures do or are reduced to stereotypes with zero depth.

  Only thing that comes to mind is Jada Pinkett’s shitty Netflix series that no one watched

  Nah I think most ppl honestly don’t care. We don’t even care about each other as the western world’s entire lifestyle is based on the exploitation of other countries and their ppl.

  You expect someone to suddenly give a damn about a cow 500 miles away?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Freeloaders⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Because of America’s greatest fear, that if we do something that benefits people, we might accidently help the wrong people. People who aren’t even white.

  You just explained how unions fell apart, pensions stopped being a thing, schools lost funding, college education went up, and social safety nets disappeared.

  I constantly come back to this quote from LBJ

  “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”

  If there’s one thing I’ve learned from the pandemic is Americans calls ppl heros so when don’t want to actually pay them. See teachers, retail workers, nurses, doctors, EMTs, soldiers, first responders, mail carriers, delivery drivers, I can keep going
