I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I'd rather hear about things that are actually happening.

I’ve never met anyone who believed that. Is that one of the odd things about America you can’t learn simply by watching superhero movies?

    About half of USA believes that. See the Republican party.

    That is just so bizarre. Well, prepare for a severe culture shock if you ever visit the Nordic countries.

    Speaking of politics, occasionally I hear people say that what we call “center” in here would be considered 100% communism in America. Likewise, right wing should probably be translated to something like the liberal left in American terms.
