“The US should do X and they suck because they don’t!” Each state has it’s own laws on education. Some places suck, some do not. It’s not a monolith.
“The US has shitty beer lol” We have some of the best beer in the world but it’s local/state/region only and never exported unlike fancy Euro beer.
The US for better or worse is a, hmmm 🤔 a unity of government states under a federation called America. It’s very hard to get federal laws and bills passed, especially for education. The states want the power to chooses for themselves what they do, and the federal government hangs above them, sometimes intervening.
We are a huge country that has a relatively unique circumstance of government, population, and young brutal history. I’m a Californian and I live in the Bay Area which almost literally a different country than most of America, especially the South and Midwest.
I’m so sick of people, especially smug Europeans, talking like they know Americans and America but they don’t really know shit about us except the movies and going to NYC and Miami.
Yes I am having a bad day.
To be honest I love Europe and have friends there that I miss dearly! I’ve been many times. But dumbassery is dumbassery.
EDIT: You people are an exhausting swarm of pecking ravens and I’ve spent all the “toxic” energy I want arguing with half you because you just hear what you want to hear and fit the stereotype I loathe I think you only commented out of trained reflex and a few of you are just unsophisticated haters. Whatever, fuck you, and all that jazz.
Like it or not, you’re a superpower.
What you do, and how you do it matters to the rest of the planet.
We have no choice but to watch, and what we see isn’t encouraging.
Also, everyone loves underdog. The inverse is true. No one likes updog.
What’s updog?
Yes unlike other countries that dont have any sort of local government whatsoever.
Like the UK is one big monolith government. Definitely not 4 individual countries with their own parliaments that have counties with their own local governments and those counties have local councils with their own councillors and bylaws.
Germany only has the German government, not seperate states.
Spain doesnt have regions that are trying to gain independence.
France doesnt have regions on the other side of the atlantic with their own local government.
Canada doesnt have provinces
Nor does Autralia have states
etc. etc. for literally every country except like the vatican.
America is just so special and different
Honestly though, America is different and special. We have states the size of the some of those countries, and states with GDPs that eclipse most of the countries you listed. Local government is a completey different scale at some levels than any of those countries you mentioned. It’s important to remember we are all different, and that’s not a bad thing.
Reddit-ass comment
There is a trail of corruption, poverty, death and destruction everywhere America gets involved in the world. This country loves war and profits from it. Social reforms are in reverse gear at the federal level. Your healthcare is shite and no one can afford to buy a house. The gap between rich and poor has grown exponentially with the richest paying the least tax. This is a country run by mendacious and violent con men for idiots. Not only do you have a gigantic and corrupt military industrial complex, you also have a prison industrial complex, with more prisoners than any other industrialised nation. America sucks ass bro.
Cool story. Are you lost and looking for some other post that clearly states America is a monolith or are you just whooshing completely? Maybe you suck ass, bro.
Maybe your unpopular opinion is unpopular because it’s stupid?
Bet this guy says “not all men” too.
