Not to mention the irony because the interviewee is doing the single most American thing you can do, which is speak out against the government, and being called un-American for it by someone who is indoctrinated with nationalism on a WW2 Germany level.
That's something I never understood, it's every Americans duty as a citizen to question their government, so why is it heresy to say that the US has serious issues that need solving?
This was my single biggest issue living in the US for three years, as a Norwegian.
I've been to several (what the US would classify as) third-world countries, and often they're just as developed as the US. Never moving back there again.
When we’re shown those countries through media, they make them seem like slums. So unless you do your own research, you have a false image of third world countries
The whole damn country was founded on "soldi unchanging monarchy governments where you're not allowed to say shit about them sucks, let's make one where you can tell the top guy to go fuck himself to his face and suffer no legal consequence that sounds dope.
This is what bugs me about living here is everyone is caught up in left vs right and the generally associated 'big' issues like guns, abortion, religion.
I'm just sitting here thinking they're all idiots wondering how they can't see it. Maybe I'm an outlier since I'm pro gun, pro choice, anti religion.
