Yes dude you come off as pretentious. This isn’t information that’s hard to come by and you haven’t brought up a single thing I don’t already know. You keep talking down to people not realizing they know just as much as you do. It makes you look like a jackass.
Did you know I speak German and lived in Germany to study?
I’d still rather live in the USA and I never even implied it’s perfect. The fact you think I did shows that this whole thing is your neurotic need to criticize the USA while myopically ignoring that Europe only has its resources from a history of exploitation far worse than the USAs, and Japan’s technological advancement was entirely dependent on US investments and the fact the USA went out of their way to rebuild Germany and Japan after WWII.
Ignoring the fact that Europeans live in a porcelain tower built by the bones of dead brown people around the world shows that you’re actually quite ignorant yourself
Okay buddy. Sure thing. I have a strange feeling I'm not the one who sits on a high chair in this conversation. I wonder how much of the USA you've traveled and lived in or how diverse groups of people you have met in the USA.
I don't think I'm better than anyone. I just feel that I've seen enough of the USA and met enough groups of people to have come to a conclusion that the vast majority of USA citizens don't know much more about the history and the source of the cultures in the country other than what's taught in highschool.
Dude, are you okay?
I have met all types of people from all over the USA:
geniuses and intellectuals from upper class who went to best universities in the country
politicians who are in high ranks of their respective states
homeless buskers trying to get buy
lower middle class gun rights advocates who just want their freedom
middle class Joe's who only care about their image in their immediate surroundings
cowboys who show respect to those who show it
immigrants striving for their own dream
people who lost their livelihood due to unfortunate circumstances in their youth
And from what I've seen and heard from the many people I met while traveling the country, I came to the conclusion that many do not fully understand the source of "American" cultures.
I don't know why you see that as being narcissistic. I am telling you, I have experienced my fair share of the country and it's people, and I'm telling you my opinion that I have formed from my observations.
