There are a lot of things I have always disliked about the United States.
The gun violence. The religiosity. Their naive belief that complex problems can be solved easily. The fucked up healthcare system. But I'm not of those people who blindly hate americans. There are some things about their culture that I liked.
They have great universities like Stanford, Yale, MIT, Carnegie Mellon
They have very talented producers and writers. They produce great shows like Breaking Bad, Prison Break, Better Call Saul, The Wire
They are a multicultural society with religious freedom
They have the world's most beautiful national parks
But honestly, I'm truly scared of what this country is becoming.
The country is openly threatening Canada, putting 50% tariffs on a country that has never done anything bad to them.
Trump pardoned 1500 people who attacked the United States Capitol. He called them great patriots
The government says climate change is a myth and there is no reason to worry about it
ICE is beating people on the street. WTF??? Most of these people are restaurant workers, construction workers. Just because they are here illegaly doesn't mean you should beat them up
They talk about invading Greenland whether people like it or not
They just bombed Iran. The US Military has been bombing Iran for months and months with no end in sight
And yet, nearly half of the American public gleefully laps it up, with states like Wyoming, Alabama or Idaho practically worshipping the ground he walks on. 40% of people would probably support him if he bombed London tomorrow morning
China is a dictatorship, but the CCP actually looks reasonable
I'm genuinely scared
just fyi the us does not really have religious freedoms. they come with a LOT of stress from institutional to simple nimbys.
