Why do Americans sound like their vocabulary is more primitive, idioms less expressive as if they're soft in the head compared to the rest of English-speaking world?

I never really hear any idioms here except for the most basic ones. I think people just don't learn English as well as we used to. Having a large vocabulary just isn't important anymore since you're talking to immigrants with a mediocre at best English all day.

Avoiding the main topic. Not speaking directly about the issue.
Like I said, since every other person you talk to is a first generation immigrant, using idioms is pointless since they will take it literally.

Brevity and not being a pretentious twat. You Euroniggers should try it sometime.

Because the majority of America isn't white or from English origin. Immigrants are dumb and believe everything should be simple.
>>
>>134717099
It's going to vary heavily region to region.
The south likes to keep it simple, speak with actions. In the Pacific Northwest there are substantially less spics and niggers, I'd bet on our vocabularies being among the best of the English speaking world.

The lef'ts proclivity for inclusive politics necessitates that the masses succumb to the behavior and culture of the lowest common denominator. Since the mediocre cannot become great, the great must become mediocre to achieve equality.

In America's case, this means that everybody must adopt nigger-speak, nigger-music, nigger-fashion, etc.

In English it means cultural language, like the phrase "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," or "don't count your chickens before they hatch," which have a universally understood meaning that isn't exactly literal.

Some people in the US are actually articulate. The reoccurring theme i see is that these people are typically into music (genre doesn't matter) and reading instead of sports / other mindless drivel.

Family, friends, and coworkers always talk about how intelligent i am, but don't feel like i'm above average. I'm just decent and expressing myself / being a communicator.

As others have said, burger education is pretty garbage. Not surprised to hear what people think about us.

It's sad that you can't use the word ponder instead of 'think about' without coming off as pretentious. These less common words would allow us to communicate more concisely, while also adding some nice class division (like Mandarin/Cantonese) to ostracize the immigrants.

It isn't all of us but that definitely seems to be a pretty widespread phenomenon, I think it has to do with the very egalitarian mindset baked into American civil ideals. Class-consciousness and pretentiousness of any kind is seen as suspect and possibly against our national ethos. People in every strata of society need to come across as an "everyman" to appeal to the people around them

I would hope you do not stop your study of America and its decline. The United States was a nigger country. Around here we call a stupid black person and sometimes even a white person, nigger rich, when they take possession of a considerable amount of money, but they are too stupid to keep it. The USA's star burned bright, but the people were not competent enough to maintain.

It is fucking sad to be honest. Pieces on the board are about to change and who knows where we'll land. I'm just glad I was alive to witness this clusterfuck.

ASIA FOR THE ASIANS, AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS, WHITE COUNTRIES FOR EVERYBODY!

Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.

The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.

Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.

What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?

How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?

And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?

But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.

They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.

Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.

Yes, but niggers can only make "d" sounds at the beginning of words, like "dis" "dese" "dey" "dem" "dat" et al. See also, "collar greens" "got tol" "fry chicken." Combined, we get demonstrative statements such as, "Yo dawg sly me up sum dat fry chicken nigga."

>"Americans"
UNITED STATESIANS

That, and it's because they do not read and and are largely monoglots -- thus, cannot comprehend letters that do not sound as they're written.

A du jour example would be "ISIS" -- the diminutive burger cerebrum cannot process a diphthong, so they rather bestow a misnomered statehood on a bunch of barbarians, than to tax the little brain function they have.
