ITT things you don't understand about the USA and their people

>>70222117
I dont understand why his flag is fashioned to his house so poorly.

Totally disrespectful.

Guns

Being proud of being American even though most of them don't really contribute to society.

Crying over their anthem

I don't understand why obese people get around with a scooter, our obese people in Europe don't have a scooter.

>We're gonna look after the regular folks who are struggling to subsist
>By taking away their healthcare

>>70222180
Guns are to let the government know that the people are in charge.

>>70222180
Of course you wouldn't understand our pride, Paco. Mexicans don't have a country worth being proud of.

>>70222180
>Being proud of being American even though most of them don't really contribute to society.

I don't get it either, but it mostly comes from indoctrination. I wish the U.S. wasn't so stand alone and that we had an North American union similar to the EU, I'd like to be able to pack up and go live and work in Canada.

These people do not like to think of themselves as poor people with no future who depend on nanny state. They need something to deny their life, something that will make them believe there is hope. People do not like to think themselves as a failure; even if they are, they will try to avoid thinking about it. Supporting a conservative ideology is just as good as any other way to scape reality.

>>70223224
Yes it does tend to push for that, borders are just an inconvenience to businesses.

It's also why I find it funny that libertarians think corporatism isn't "real" capitalism. Businesses getting big enough to than influence the government and rig it for themselves is completely rational thing for them to do and inevitable.

I will quote you Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five

> While the British colonel set Lazzaro's broken arm and mixed plaster for the cast, the German major translated out loud passages from Howard W. Campbell, Jr.'s monograph. Campbell had been a fairly well-known playwright at one time. His opening line was this one:
> America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain't no disgrace to be poor, but might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'If you're so smart, why ain't You rich? ' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child's hand-glued to a lollipop stick and, flying from the cash register.

3. most people on welfare aren't that proud.

>>70223745
> The author of the monograph, a native of Schenectady, New York, was said by some to have had the highest I.Q. of all the war criminals who were made to face a death by hanging. So it goes.
> Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue, the monograph went on. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say, Napoleonic times.
> Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves. Once this is understood the disagreeable behavior of American enlisted men in German prisons ceases to be a mystery.

Circumcision

Seriously, this shit has been around in non-Muslim and non-Jewish countries for only one reason: to make masturbation inconvenient.

>>70223808
> Howard W. Cambell, Jr., now discussed the uniform of the American enlisted in the Second World War: Every other army in history, prosperous or not, has attempted to clothe even its lowliest soldiers so as to make them impressive to themselves and others as stylish experts in drinking and copulation and looting and sudden death. The American Army, however, sends its enlisted men out to fight and die in a modified business suit quite evidently made for another man, a sterilized but unpressed gift from a nose-holding charity which passes out clothing to drunks in the slums.
> When a dashingly-clad officer addresses such a frumpishly dressed bum, he scolds him, as an officer in an army must. But the officer's contempt is not, as in 'other armies, avuncular theatricality. It is a genuine expression of hatred for the poor, who have no one to blame for their misery but themselves.
> A prison administrator dealing with captured American enlisted men for the first time should be warned: Expect no brotherly love, even between brothers. There will be no cohesion between the individuals. Each will be a sulky child who often wishes he were dead

> Campbell told what the German experience with captured American enlisted men had been. They were known everywhere to be the most self-pitying, least fraternal and dirtiest of all prisoners of war, said Campbell. They were incapable of concerted action on their own behalf. They despised any leader from among their own number, refused to follow or even listen to him, on the grounds that he was no better than they were, that he should stop putting on airs.

The two most common things is lack of sensitivity at the head of the penis, and have no frenulum.

America's race obsession.

Even the liberals are constantly "black people this" "black people that" "what do black people think about X?" "Here's a list of 100 reasons white people suck" "ten reasons why Italians/Jews/Irish aren't "white"" etc.

I'm not going to pretend Canada doesn't have it's racists, we've got plenty, but it's generally considered rude to take that stuff too seriously or talk about race (in any context) too much.

In the media at least, even the "progressive" news is either hostile or blatantly patronizing towards anyone not in the Anglo-Jewish elite, then you've got that shit where "the Irish are just WHITE MALES with PRIVILEGE WAAAA" and your entire country pretty much invented and monopolized on cuckold porn.

They all do illegal things, simply because they can.
But the USA are by far the biggest wrong-doers since the 2nd WW.

Anyway, I find it highly amusing when state officials are accusing each other's countries of illegal actions. Like supporting one-sided secessions, for example. Politics have always been like that and it's not personal. It's just an agenda that every country has.

An example for such an agenda: Russia and their aggressive behavior to anything that borders on their European side. Why are they so waspish? The answer lies within Russia's agenda. Anything west of the Ural is hard to defend against invasions, they would have to either give up Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities, to defend starting from the mountains. Or they would have to use nukes right away. This is why they have sharp reactions to any foreign activities in the Baltics or Ukraine.
And this is behavior that does not change with presidents or governments (if it's not a puppet government). It stays like that forever.

>>70224826
nuclear is a possibility but people are still pretty wary of it, maybe if it matures a bit more it'll become more feasible.
if a meltdown were to occur on u.s. soil with significant casualties that would probably put an end to nuclear power in america at least temporarily.

>Not with windmills/solar no. The wind isn't blowing all the time(how do you say that in English?)

>>70224843
>Are the lowest paying jobs in america really that low, or are these people just terrible with money?

Both are a factor. The minimum wage is $7.25/hour and typical work weeks are 40 hours. In states and small towns with a low cost of living it's enough for a single person with no children to live in a shitty apartment with a roommate and get by.

Minimum wage is not enough to sustain yourself in a city or if you have children. The urban poor often aren't capable of stockpiling enough money to move out of a city, and due to poor education tend to have children younger and more often.

>>70224127
>because most of those states have lost large sources of their income over the past few decades

Thats bullshit. None of the deep south were ever economic powerhouses and they are experiencing demographic decline bcause people just move the to more productive states the first chance they get and only the dregs get left behind.

And most of their decline is due to their own stupid policies like Brownback in Kansas or Bobby J in Lou

>if a meltdown were to occur on u.s. soil with significant casualties that would probably put an end to nuclear power in america at least temporarily.

True. From what I've read this isn't an issue with thorium reactors, as they simply can't melt down. I don't really understand the science behind it, but if something goes wrong, they'll just shut down by themselves, as they can't spin out of control, like U-235/238 fission.

>>70225358
Yeah, we have built tons and tons of giant windmills in the ocean, pretty good, but it's still not sufficient enough, as the wind doesn't blow all the time, but our electricity need is constant.

Fossil fuels will never run out, they've talked about that for 50 years now.
Our ressource count is based on what we can extract with current technology, with profit. As technology becomes better, we find more and it becomes cheaper to extract larger quantities, which brings profit, thus enlarging our current ressource count.

Because someone will rob it if you keep it outside. If you own a separate house with gate then outside is fine. But apartments or houses without compound walls you have to keep it inside.

Never is maybe the wrong word, but not in near future probably. This is why they "just didn't build solar panels" to power the whole world. It simply doesn't pay off. You have such an incredible energy density in fossil fuels and some countries have just such an incredible revenue with that. Tell the USA that you will cut the oil buying from them or their minion countries by half, and they will invade you next day. Tell them you won't trade fossil fuels in USD anymore, they will come and rape your eye sockets.

Also: not only electrical energy comes from FF, it is basically used for any kind of synthetic material.

Long story short:
socialist high tax environment -> only the biggest companies survive -> job market is shit, but you have a nanny state
capitalist low tax environment -> you can make a business work without much losses and bureaucracy -> job market is good, but you are responsible for yourself

A country always has alternating sequences of those two. It just takes a while and not both era's last equally long. But it is definitely alternating because one environment creates the demographics that benefits the creation of the complementary environment and vice versa.

Trump told them that he will give them all jobs, that he will build infrastructure, that he will cut taxes and impose tariffs on cheap shit from China, that he will eliminate crime and drugs.

This isn't really true though, many countries are a fair balance of both.

Everyone always says Sweden is some socialist model country but we're still very capitalist. Sure we have high income/vat taxes but our business taxes are fairly low and we're in the top 3 or something in countries for startups globally. Our job market is also pretty good right, with low unemployment and livable wages.

You are answering your own question.
Sweden is not truly socialistic. You are moving towards it though. Hard taxation always hits the small companies harder, whereas unconditional basic income and shorter working days hit both small and big very hard (if competing internationally).
There are burning cars and shit, in other word social tensions in your country. This is because people have a lack of perspective, they are stuck in low/no income and have nothing to lose.

NASCAR is actually better than F1 to attend live because you have the entire track in view from the grandstands so it's three hours of non-stop action, meanwhile in F1 when attending live you only see one or two corners and at best half a dozen overtakes during the entire race.

The only race better than NASCAR to attend live is the Nürburg 24H because you get to camp and barbecue next to the track while cars continuously race by in three second intervals for 24 hours.

He's saying that if you're not feeling uncomfortable when walking around without a foreskin, it means you've lost the sensitivity in the glans of your penis.

If you're uncircumcized your foreskin covers the glans of your penis meaning it never comes in contact with stuff like clothing that'd make it uncomfortable.

Personally if I pulled back my foreskin and then walked around a full day like that, it'd hurt like all hell.

That's a new one, I must admit. The event that I watched had an oval track, and so did literally every other depiction of Nascar I've ever seen, both in movies and news reports of crashes and shit. Still, it's being made fun of for a reason, at least we can agree on that.

>some people are really, really religious
My grandmother is really, really religious as well. Hasn't missed Sunday church in 60 years, prays each day before going to bed, the whole lot. And yet even she calls out the various "paranormal investigation" shows and "professionals" of the esoteric variety as complete bullshit. It's like paranormal beliefs are taken to a whole new level in the US.

That's my point. You're one of the most technologically advanced nations in the world, and yet you can't make a proper car for shit. Not to mention other baffling technological aspects, like the fact that your people still use dial-up of all things.

>France, UK, and Belgium have all had larger and more destructive riots in recent years based on the property damage inflicted. The one in the US are just publicized more often
That was one example I gave, but most of your protests end up that way. Look at the stuff that happened during Trump's inauguration. Almost instantly went to looting and rioting.

It's called 'specialization', of which typically the US is very good at making trucks and motorcycles. Regardles: US has also been making much better quality cars in recent years

Yeah but the Republicans also hold a majority in both chambers of Congress and they'll be hard pressed to stop laws and reforms by the new cabinet, unlike in previous legislative periods where one power balanced out the other and either the Congress or the cabinet was Democratic.

>>70230863
>wasn't as poor as it is now, and black people made up a smaller percentage of the population.
Actually that's false, black people were the majority in many Southern states until the 1890's. It was also much, much poorer as most people were sharecroppers who didn't own any land or property.
>still wasn't as bad tho

>It's called 'specialization', of which typically the US is very good at making trucks and motorcycles
A nation with your capabilities and technological level should be able to make more than trucks and bikes. You should be driving your own vehicles for everything from daily commuting to racing to industrial use. And it's not just the automotive industry where you're not using your entire potential, which is another thing that I don't understand about the US.

>>70230718
It's not just reliability. It's that American cars are know for their cheap and shitty build quality (especially on the interiors), using ancient technologies, poor efficiency, bad handling, sub-par looks, and generally bad design decisions.

>>70230944
>Yeah but the Republicans also hold a majority in both chambers of Congress
Of which the Republicans themselves are divided between Trump/anti-Trump camps. Even the pro Trump camp doesn't support everything the president elect or his cabinet does.

This isn't the 1990's. Ford in particular has vastly improved its line. Also US cars tend to top the charts in terms of Safety features.

>hurr ok I'll vote for you Hillary clearly you care about my interests

>>70231083
Do your cars no longer come with horrible plastic interiors that feel like they're made from recycled coffee cups and rattle all the time? Because even American "luxury" cars had those as far as I remember. And as for safety features, all modern cars have to adhere to more or less the same safety standards, whether it's EU or US regulations. Having enough airbags and a hood that crumples so that the person you're knocking over isn't quite dead doesn't by itself make a car great.

which ones? according to that chart on wiki they were a significant minority even over a century ago and mostly concentrated in certain areas. in some areas they've even increased, like in new orleans which is now majority black.

>>70231460
most rednecks don't really care about being called names though, there's a myriad of other issues they and democrats disagree with. white people in general tend to be much more conservative regardless of status.

>>70231460
That's the problem with stupid people, and actually people in general, that they don't like being told that they're stupid. Even if they are. And it's not just Americans, it's everyone all over the globe. Hence why politics devolves into populism and a dick waving contest to see who can convince more people by saying shit that they want to hear while also pretending to be their friend. And that's why people who like to tell it straight instead of bullshitting you are rarely popular, or in politics.

The vast, vast majority of flyover states are poor, under-educated and generally a hopeless clusterfuck, yet they consistently vote for a party that will make them more hopeless and poor (cutting SS, medicare, cutting taxes for rich coastal elites).

I'm going to sit back and enjoy watching trump bring in like 10,000 jobs but gutting away pretty much everything keeping the rich from screwing over the dumb and poor who voted for him.

Says you. Many of them don't want their states to be what you might consider nice.
As hard as this is to believe, people can have radically different values from one another.

>>70224886
>because it's insulting when people tell you you're (sexually) damaged
You are, though. That isn't something one should hold against you, however, as you were mutilated against your will. It's a rather unspoken of tragedy, to be honest. The world howls against the idea of a little girl being in any way touched in their genital region but in many nations it is perfectly acceptable and sometimes expected that an infant male is to have his naturally formed, complete genitalia ritually mutilated for something which provides no medical justification as being beneficial. It's barbaric.

>>70235563

You don't? wtf. Some schools and places even sing God Save the Queen in addition to O Canada.

The American Army, however, sends its enlisted men out to fight and die in a modified business suit quite evidently made for another man, a sterilized but unpressed gift from a nose-holding charity which passes out clothing to drunks in the slums.

You do know this country doesn't have all the ancient pomp and martial traditions of Europe. Military service here was always a lot more egalitarian.
