Time to bash Americans again
-
Spreading the plague, as insects are wont to do.
As an American, I would like to apologize profusely for the rank idiocy of my fellow citizens.
-
We have plenty of fascists here. It's not like the US have a monopoly. We don't quite let them run the show yet, but we're certainly working on it.
The difference is that while we may have several fascists here, unlike in the US the majority are not fascists.
-
Yeah, but a really big part of the MAGA platform is hating on the "communist" and "woke" "yuropoors". She must really really hate it here.
Also insane because I’m willing to bet she grew up and went to school in the era before we militarized our schools
-
They come here to spread their culture, their ideology of violence and intolerance.
As an American, please enthusiastically tell any American that tries to do this to fuck all the way off and go back to our own shitty country. I don’t want us fucking up your continent too.

I always thought expats had to live in little expat communities, keeping themselves aloof from the rest of the population. It's a level of snobbery beyond even still caring where you're originally from. That was my understanding from all the little compounds I saw in the global south.
I mean some people typically called immigrants do that too

As a Canadian, I would very much like some sort of barrier between my country and the United States. We've got our own brand of crazy up here and have absolutely no need to import any junk from the USA.

Build a wall, make the USA pay for it
(Kidding, mostly.)

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.

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.
