what is this new american trend of infantile statements?

[–] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 66 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's hardly new. The United States have always been like that one popular kid in an elementary school. If you act the way he wants, he can be nice to you and your on his team. Take one step in a different direction and they'll start badmouthing you, preferably behind your back.

They've been doing this to Russia and China for decades. As long as they have the stage, they can create any narrative they want and the audience will most likely adopt the opinion and start saying the same things.

The thing about propaganda is that, if it fits in your frame or reference, you'll be more likely to accept it. If it doesn't fit, like when it is about you, suddenly you'll realize that this is something they have been doing about others all along and that it doesn't break any patterns, apart from the recognition patterns of the receiver.

It is not about the behaviour, it is about the language. Back then even though they were bullies, they did at least use adult diplomatic language. It is about the brainrot of Trumps sycophants copying his bizarre childish way of talking.

Beef is a lot more expensive in Europe in my experience, but is also of a much higher quality. You can get an equivalent quality in the US but you’ll have to go to a specialty butcher or a farmers market and it will be more expensive than an equivalent cut in Europe.

And frankly the cheap stuff in the US is still too expensive for me to make it a regular part of my diet. So, if I’m going to have it, it’ll be a treat, and I may as well buy the better stuff in that case.

So this must mean that in America the local markets will be flooded with suddenly affordable meat?

didn't think so.

Eww... We don't need chlorine infused chicken and chemical soaked eggs. No idea what crap they have in their mad cow beef and lobster. Ban it by law, put it into the constitution change all the national anthem to say EU citizens will be protected from US chemical infused meat and eggs. Write it into a huge stone facing US in multiple languages. Make T-shirts too and hats.

As an African with access to reasonable traditional cattle farming, I can say that American beef tastes like crap. Looks amazing, but tastes like crap.

As an American that has traveled to many places, why would Europe want any type of American food. I felt like most countries I’ve traveled to especially in central and South America and places like Italy the food is more farm to table and by far way more healthier. Have you ever seen Fanta from Europe compared to USA?

I don't mind the statement behind the post, but was there really no other medium for the post than the Trumpist NYPost? This is the same media that supposedly wants to ask 10 questions about the tariffs in an article to defend them, and then asks questions like should Trump keep 12 million illegal refugees in the country like Biden?

What does this question have to do with legitimising the tariffs? No idea, ask the brainwashed journalists at the NYPost.

Word for word, the same thing the president said.

[–] ComfortablyDumb@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 days ago (5 children)

American is the worst food in the whole world. Its better to go hungry than partaking in the excesses of highly processed american diet. Go to any supermarket and check the ingredients of american food and you will find stuff like malto dextrose, inverse sugar, dyglycerides, corn starch and high fructose syrup. All of these are rubbish ingredients which pollutes your body and makes you addicted. Stay away from american food for your own health. Buy EU/Canada/India/China/SEA etc but do not touch american products.
