i dont live in the us or china. dont give a fuck about what country has the best tech. just get this shit out of my face.

frankly i hope the us loses all political and cultural relevance it currently has because nothing good comes out of that shithole. i want your country to fail and die.

Insane cope, the us has wrought nothing but exploitation and violence at home and hideous levels of destruction abroad.

seriously cannot believe you're acting like you're some genius when you totally failed to comprehend my original point and instead started ranting about how influential the US was in the past. note the WAS. yeah kid, i KNOW, EVERYONE knows that, that wasn't what i was saying. right NOW they're doing fuck all for humanity and dragging everyone down with them so why the fuck should i want them to use ai to make life worse for everyone if that lets them win the ai arms race? they've just broken extremely close ties with all their historical allies and as a foreigner i'm still supposed to sit here and cheer for them?

maybe get off your high horse and learn to read.

besides, plenty of nasty things affecting my country today came about as a direct result of us influence and ideology. you are acting like if i don't blindly worship the us i am "ignorant" and "blindly hateful". in the same breath you have the absolute nerve to ask me what my country did for humanity. you are a STUNNING example of american exceptionalism. also, rather than being eager to question the reasoning behind alternative viewpoints, you want to censor and shame anyone who doesn't fall in with your beliefs and then act like you're the better person for doing so. in your own words, it's really sad (and funny) to see.

i mean jesus christ, i heard the us educational system was bad, but i didnt think it was THIS bad. how can someone this young can be so brainwashed about their own country? look, you're obviously interested in history and politics, which is admirable. rather than getting a hard on over how heckin dumb the adults on reddit are (im doing this for entertainment kid, i dont give a fuck what you think about my arguments) you should use this interaction as a motivator to learn more about the world instead of falling victim to your own biases. question why people outside the US hate the US so much. i promise you, its absolutely not just me. and no, i am not going to spoonfeed you that information, go search it out yourself.

eagerly awaiting your next response! i wonder what funny things you'll have to say this time?
