Because we're better than them

Erm. This kind of exceptionalism is exactly why we despise Magastan. I hope the irony of your statement isn't lost on you, or that you are just trolling.

Take it as you will, but I hold the US as a "nation" beneath contempt, and not all, but most of the inhabitants

People don't choose which country they are born in(to). I also despise their exceptionalism, but that doesn't mean I am inclined to feel like I am better than anyone else based on where I was born.

People's "value" isn't baked into them at the moment of birth. Being a shitty person might not be that person's "fault" but they can still be an objectively shitty person and the reasons don't always matter.

Not sure how that relates to the point I made. That said, the reasons do matter, otherwise you can't start looking for potential solutions.

I'm an american and seeing that the comments here are about america baffles me. The meme is good as-is.

Belgian guy I just showed this to asked why it wasn't the US in the cuck chair. People just want to see the US humiliated because they deserve it.

US is looking in from across the street with the masked crying wojak face.

Yes I know I need to touch grass.

Every comment here is about the US.

Also certain Americans in real life. Don't get me wrong, many outgrow it, but genuine confusion that other places are equally real is kind of like the default.

TBH, there's some built up resentment from that kind of thing in Canada.
