  If you believe Americans think about the opinions of people from countries they’ll never visit, then you haven’t met many Americans.

    How can they even think about countries they don’t even know about?

    Any American who does think about it knows full well that our reputation abroad is deservedly in the shitter. I hate us, too.

      Are you one of those “broads” this is about?

    To further your point: I didn’t know Luxembourg was a country until a couple of years ago.

    I always thought it was a big city in Denmark. I know people who thought Denmark was in Colorado though, so I’m at least doing better than them.

      They aren’t even close. If you said Germany or Belgium or the Netherlands, I’d say , fair enough.

    My mother believes there’s no difference between the Danish and the Dutch, because both have “viking blood.”

    Americans literally don’t understand what lies outside their borders.

    As an American citizen, I agree. I literally do not care what anyone else thinks about the reputation of America or Americans in general. Sure, it’s mildly annoying when people from other countries stereotype me as loud/ obnoxious, unruly, violent, etc. But it’s a very short-lived expectation they have, at least in my case, and only ever amounts to a tiny, minor inconvenience, if anything at all.

    I don’t let the reputation of others define me, mostly because I don’t care about it.

  Americans in real life: Claim to be tough on authoritarians, but the moment authoritarians move in, they fall in line and give the boot the good sloppy.

  Classic cultural misunderstanding. The kindergarteners get shot by adults, because they’re moronic, superficial cowards just imitating what they’ve seen others do.

  Like people who put their birth year in their username.
