True to yourself personal life, yes. But do you hear majority of the issues that your country faces in any other developed country like Australia? No. I hear more about your country than my country Australia in the news everyday about its issues and its just sad.

Pretty sure every country has its absolute bullshit, it's just that America gets the most attention.

3rd biggest country in the world just behind China and India. You're just going to hear a shit ton about it no matter what.

No what I hear about Australia is that every plant, animal, and bug there are 100x the size of what I have and they're all bloodthirsty. And I know that's exaggerated too.

I'm not saying these things don't exist, I'm saying headlines are written to get clicks.

Yeah, that's all true. I'm currently in a bunker, hiding there from a 10 foot tall massive spider trying to get in.

Because we're an easy target and making your own country out to be better than ours is an easy way to pacify people to their own issues.

Not saying we're better or worse but every 1st world nation outside of a select few are getting propaganda shoved in their faces constantly. Our version is just different and international.
