Those of us who live in the civilised world absolutely understand

The question is how far you Americans will allow things to go?

You're already fucked, but your opiates of shitty TV, pissy beer, fast food and the satisfaction that you seem to enjoy when you see people who are really suffering seem to placate you

You don't care about the vulnerable, the marginilanised, the suffering because you think you're somehow going to dodge it, until it happens to you

Americans gauge their happiness by the misery of others

My god, update your stereotypes. There are SOOO many things to shit in the US for but these make you look uncultured.

The US makes some of the best TV in the world. And unless you've got state run media, your country is full of the same trash TV.

I see you're ignorant to the local breweries all across the country. Do you shit on dutch beer because of Heineken, too?

The fast food thing has some merit because yeah, it's trash. But American cuisine is as varied as all of Europe. Calling out fast food feels like a nitpick. You've got lazy fast food slobs in your country, too.

All of which really makes the last part seem undeservedly arrogant

Americunt exceptionalism in action.

Have you ever watched non-American tv? I really doubt you have ever watched anything that was not produced in the English language.

I mostly watch British shows. But you're kind of right about the last part, the last non-english show I watched was the second season of Kongen Befaler and I feel like that doesn't count.

So, does the US not make some of the best TV shows? Or are you only aware of the sitcoms and reality shows?
