Not sure why I haven't seen more posting about this. Piggy decided to project onto some poor newswoman.

Oh, no

There are so many amazingly stupid people there. The difference is that stupid people in most countries are ashamed of it, whereas it's seen almost as a virtue in many parts of 'Murica

There's more to it than that though. It's not just about stupidity, it's about ignorance

Yanks are indoctrinated. They're taught a load of bullshit about their own history, and it's all done very deliberately, before they are able to think critically

The whole notion of 'Murica borders on being a religion

The place is a fucking joke, but the world isn't laughing because it is a cruel place, stolen, built by slaves, full of childish, selfish and angry people

Come on, that is a pretty warped way of looking at things. How many Americans do you actually know in real life, not just people you have bumped into online? Yes, there are definitely groups in the U.S. that fit the stereotype you are talking about, but it is a huge leap to act like that applies to the entire country. It is a bit like saying all Russians hate democracy and want the world to fall apart. We both know that is not how things really work.

Think about it like this. If we went to the World Cheese Awards in Switzerland, you might assume every single person there is a cheese fanatic. I can promise you we would still find at least one person who does not care about cheese at all or barely knows anything about it. People are unpredictable like that.

Just because a large part of a group behaves badly does not mean everyone in that group is the same. It is worth slowing down and remembering that individuals are far more varied than the loudest or worst examples of the group they happen to be in.

Tldr: we ain't all the same bruv

As an American: we’re the same enough

As an English speaker I can tell you that makes zero sense.

Fine, how about “we’re enough the same”
