Edit: Link though it’s .world
There’s some real gold comments from op, too. I’ll screenshot them and post them later for those who don’t want to go to .world
The states want the power to choose[s] for themselves what they do
what do they choose?page me when the highly developed enclaves of smug, wealthy lordlings aren't interdependent on the dislocated and abused workers of the slums, ghettos, and sacrifice zones.
People from San Francisco like to act cultured but see how vicious they get if you mention homeless people
POV: you have suggested social housing programs to a San Fanciscan
San Diego inhabitants explaining why building more affordable housing is bad actually

Why the hell did I read those comments? Half of them are just dogwhistles like "Yeah, I hate "poor" people too, everybody hates "poor" people, amiright? "Poor" people are responsible for the majority of crime btw."

Just as much fancy Euro beer gets exported to the US as fancy US beer gets exported to Europe.
This mf thinks Stella is fancy.
There are beers from Wisconsin that are really excellent but not exported to even other states, much less other countries.
Maybe that's what they meant, but then again that'd also be praising Midwesterners for doing something right so who knows?
What are the odds this person thinks China/Russia is a monolith?
Actually, we don't even need to go that far, they literally treat Europe as a monolith in this comment lol, americas think they are the only diverse country in yhe world
From the bay area.
Wish they woulda said that at the beginning so I could have just stopped reading there
Ah yes the old “America is like a bunch of different countries in one! Look at all the different words we use for soda” stupidity.
In this city the pizza is this thick, and in this other city the pizza is this thick! It’s like being in a completely different country!
There's so very much wrong with this, but the part I noticed that I think is funny is this person is incensed that non-americans treat the US as a monolith but in this post they are treating Europe as a monolith! "Euro beer", "I love Europe and have friends there", "smug Europeans". This very post is hypocritical in the extreme! Hilarious
"No you see America isn't bad it's just made up of a bunch of states that are bad"
I’ve been to the Bay Area and outside of the San Francisco city center it’s pretty indistinguishable from the American south which I’ve been all over. Southerners are constantly being shat on but as one I know we deserve it, America is horrible.
Guys, don’t worry, he’s a leftist!
no pity for the majority
I like KMFDM too but listening to them doesn't really make you leftist by itself.
I hate California so goddam much

Having lived in CA and the midwest I can very comfortably say a vast number of Americans are bigots no matter where you live.
the most openly bigoted people I've ever met were in California lol
Same, in the Midwest even when they frothe and seethe and make threats or yell slurs its weak childish shit vs the worst I've seen in CA. Also never had an potential employer call me back just to go on an unhinged transphobic rant to my face instead of just tell me I was rejected over phone, or instead of interview they tell me "we don't hire people like you here", they just ghost, and I find out through the rumor mill the reason. Supposedly CA has laws to protect trans people naive fools tell me on the internet, never believing shit, not if its verbal.
Kinda with them, but less whiny. There are cultures, foods, and artforms within America that absolutely rock. I'm not gonna knock on Blues music or Cajun food because America is the Devil.
Europeans also tend to vastly underestimate the size of the US. Just lots of land here.
This is every New York transplant I’ve met. I love when they tell me about my own country and culture because they talked to some Guatemalan immigrants lmao
Even the enclaves that still speak the language talk like old people because their language never developed past when it was first passed down to them.
So basically a whine where at the end the person does to Europe exactly what he complains the euros do to the US?
People like this are my managers I have to directly report to them
The other day BART ran late and it gave my manager ammo to go on a "train bad car good" tirade
I hate the bay, I hate myself.
Famously, nobody has ever been made late by something unexpected while driving their car. Nope. Never.
A burger lander who’s been to Europe many times? Sounds bougie to me
real tech bro
vibesThis thing has always confused me about Americans. They'll give some explanation for why things are shitty but then act like that explanation solves the problem. That smugly stating "umm acktually don't you know there are reasons why America barely functions sweaty?" is in any way acceptable. They act like simply admitting that a problem exists is all the work that needs to be done, and that actually wanting to change things to fix it is some kind of horrific sinful evil.
Doing stuff is a slippery slope towards Stalinism
It's true though, Every place in the US has it's own unique flavor of absolute hogshit
I don't get what's objectionable about this take, it's not even defending any particular aspect of the US or taking a "but I'm not like them" stance.
