Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

American here.
While a lot of the ire directed towards America is warranted, a lot of it is just jealousy and envy from people who are coming online in poorer nations and realizing how little influence they have.
What's that about jealousy? I can't quite hear you over my socialised health care, free university education, and properly maintained public roads.
Believing it's jealousy is so wildly out of touch. It's not jealousy when I skip Mickey D in favour of a local chain, or buy local cola instead of coke, it's "stay the duck away from Greenland", "you elected him twice?!?", and "if you don't want to be in NATO anymore, fine, but could you not try to actively work against us?"
As an American, shut the hell up and sit down. Humble yourself. We're a complete joke because the majority of our citizens that bothered to vote chose the narcissistic dumbass currently running the country.
America was broken long before now, but we're shittier about hiding it nowadays.
you live in a fourth world country and are so mass deluded by your state media you think people are jealous of it xD
Jealousy? Sure, that's probably it. They finally respect us again, huh?
You're probably one of those MAGAs who can't understand why blacks aren't all excited to get those "black jobs" in the fields again. You know, like back when America was great, and the darkies loved working in the fields in exchange for free housing, great home cooking, and free clothes. They were very unhappy when the North freed them, and made them responsible for their own freedom.
That's what MAGAs are saying, complaining that the blacks aren't happy about getting their Black Jobs back.
LOL
nah mate we just fucking hate america because america is the big dumb bully reading at a third grade level and making decisions at a first grade level
Hey, my country is richer per person than your poor people country, solidarity to you all though. Also, we have very little crime and 40% of our population has two passports. Your brag isn't as impressive as you think.
"a lot of it is just jealousy"
It is precisely this unreflective, stubborn mindset that fuels the anti-American attitude of the rest of the world.
