Time to bash Americans again
-
Europe has gangs and guns and whatnot. But people have more to lose I think. Something like that. Better education maybe?
Could be way better here as well
More chill, probably.
Unchecked capitalism of this degree is a stressful world to live in and it drives people insane. Fear and hate not only breeds mass shooters, it makes your random Joe shoot PoCs, delivery guys or really everyone stepping on their lawn. And it's not racism or some other kind of hatred alone. It's a general fear that EVERYTHING entering your comfort zone is there to fuck you over. And in the US they aren't totally wrong, because many things we find normal in Europe, like affordable healthcare, insurance, education, etc - are traps constructed to drink you empty, not to say about how many real scams flourish there. They are in a fight or flight mode like 24/7, so it's no wonder they shoot on sight and cheer to bigotry.
Meme/anecdote: many european listeners of Cool Zone Media podcasts were confused, while visiting US of how many advertisements to buy gold deposits were in automatic ads while there, and how agressive they were. In a sense, gold investments is a panic button you press when you gamble on everything else going down. And this particular scam, the popularity of crypto, and the power of rabid christian sects kinda says a lot about how secure regular folks feel.
I've never been to the US, so it's all built on assumptions and hearsay.

Yeah I see people online talk about how Europeans can supposedly only come up with one reason to criticize the US and it's just...
-
Not true at all there's a hundred reasons Europeans could criticize us
-
I can't think of a single criticism I've seen of the US that wasn't completely valid
Like yeah I guess you could argue the average citizen is well aware of the school shooting issue and knows the answer to the problem, but at the same time our last election really calls that perspective into question.

Half the country is illiterate.

I think the US military only attacks school when there students aren’t mainly white

For those unaware, an expat is an immigrant, but white and racist.
I'd personally argue against it. I've a British neighbour old-man who I walk with and he's very nice and world travelled. He even said that he chose to have the British retirement fund over my country's because that's where he paid taxes in.
-
Not an expat, an immigrant. I hate the term expat.
I've always assumed it depends on what your context is. If your perspective is the country that the immigrant is from, then they would be an expat. If you are in context of the other country they are an immigrant.
Ie
"My friend is an expat who went off to The Netherlands."
"My friend is an immigrant that came here from The USA." -

Maybe they needed the more affordable healthcare?

Narrator: The problem wasn't the kids it was the US.
Clarification: venues getting shot up is a specifically elevated problem in the US (exacerbated by availability of guns, but that's not really the root of the problem). The thing is, the root of the problem (right-wing-leaning low-information constituents -- lumpenproletariat in left-wing speak -- suffering from precarity sometimes turn to violence) is being visited on European nations where two-party systems have taken root, and neoliberalism has set in. It's the old King Log vs. King Heron problem. We're seeing violence and counterviolence in the EU, just with less frequency and fewer guns, but it will catch up to them.

Because we don't have regular mass shootings in schools because we don't give every single person the money for a ticket to a gun show a gun and where we do, we legislate that they keep their gun in a gun safe. You know, like the rest of the world...or the USA in 1792.

It's not JUST the guns tbh. Everyone in Switzerland has a gun and they don't shoot eachother up. American society is fucked up on multiple different levels and the guns are just adding extra fuel and oxygen to a forest fire.

Imagine being racist and wanting to enjoy it instead of making it political. In the US it's culture war shit. In Europe you can go to a football match and throw bananas at the black players and it's chill. It's just easier to be casually racist in Europe because racism doesn't exist there, and if it does, it's not as bad as America.

Could be a military member stationed there. A guy I work with is one of those 4chan "libertarians" and had nothing but "horror stories" about living in Germany. Same guy is terrified to venture into the local major metropolitan area or take the light rail system.

we should call the us ones immigrants though. i think it would bother them a bit.

It's a dumb comparison, as their reason for owning guns is entirely different and tied to national defense, not self-defense and "freedom"
