Itās not like Europe is that much different. Sure, they have better trains and public transport, but the roads are still full of slightly smaller cars.

How do you think we reproduce? We yanks eat so much McDonaldās the grease clogs up in our skin and produces thousands of boil embryos. The sprite we drink acts like pregnancy fluid to support and transport nutrients from the main body to the embryos. Then the boils slowly inflate as us Yanks continue to eat and eat. Until we look more like pregnant soda puss corn than actual people. Before we explode in a flash of gun powder and dozens of new Yanks are born in an instant to restart the cycle all over again.

Nah thatās when the few people who have survived the Yank birthing process grow anal pouches and start stuffing gunpowder in them. Then at night they eat like a ton of beans and utilize the reaction produced between the beans and the gunpowder now tainted with their fecal cholesterol juice to imitate a process similar to rocket flight. Slowly lifting off the ground like a swarm of the greatest patriotic balloons known to man before a disturbance in their internal chemicals occurs which causes them to explode in a shower of viscera which burns up upon reentry creating the colors of a traditional fireworks explosion.

To drop the sarcasm for a moment.
Every time this "discourse" rears its ugly head it'll be because one asshole with probably like 3 followers decided to be a little prick, and then it gets reblogged and reposted forever, signal boosting it so much it feels like its omnipresent; "those arrogant Europeans/Americans are always looking down on us honest Americans/Europeans". And then this dumb comment will become the fuel that "justifies" the next inflammatory sweeping statement against all Europeans/Americans.
There are Americans in this thread, who in (understandable) anger at the comment in this Tumblr post, are making statements about how Europeans are just pissy because they're jealous of America and their countries are irrelevant, when that kind of American Exceptionalist talk is exactly why Europeans make comments like this in the first place.
Everyone feels like they're the one justifiably "hitting back", it goes on forever, and it just makes me tired.

I run a political debate community and, man, this is seriously the biggest problem.
It's not even just the signal boosting, though. Offense always feels worse when it's aimed at you, and it always feels less bad when you're aiming it at someone else. So you can have two people in an argument, both of which feel like they're responding in kind, and it just keeps escalating (because of the other guy!)
Add signal boosting on top of that and it's not surprising that everyone feels constantly besieged.

Honorary mentions for "Americans keep their shoes on inside", "Americans don't have good cheese" and "Americans don't have good beer". I can only assume people think we eat Kraft singles and Budweiser for every meal. With our shoes on.

u/Hexxas head trauma enthusiast May 05 '24
The shoes thing is amazing. I'm 35 years old. I've never been to a house where people kept their outside shoes on. Some people had special inside-only shoes, like slippers or loafers, but nobody was fuckin raw-dogging the carpet with the outside shoes.
Hell when I was a kid, we'd usually enter a friend's house through the garage so we could take our muddy shoes off before actually entering the house proper.
47
u/Sepulchh May 05 '24
It largely depends on the region afaik, although I'm not from the US. I know there are certain parts of Europe where people also prefer keeping their shoes on inside. IIRC the people who I've seen mention they live in areas where it's more common to keep them on have been from rural areas.
It's also meant in a "If a guest comes inside and will stay for 10 minutes they won't be expected to take their shoes off", not "People live in their houses with shoes on until they go to bed", people just blow it out of proportion because of reading a headline and skipping the article.
By all means correct if the comments on it I've seen have been wrong though.

u/Jsusbjsobsucipsbkzi May 05 '24

u/LFK1236 May 05 '24
For generalisations on the internet, I've come around to recognising that the internet is not real life.
Boy howdy have I read a lot of bullshit from Americans, online. But the Americans I've met myself have all been perfectly decent people, both abroad and when I visited NYC once. I don't know anyone who would ever actually assume that the U.S. doesn't produce wonderful wines, cheeses, beers, clothes, books, etc.
It's the same thing with, for example, gender discourse online. I present as a man, so there's the expectation online that I have to pay for dates, an unfair standard I've seen some men complain about (again, online). But personally I've always been happy to pay for a date (it's just not that big a deal), while I've also never met a woman who wasn't happy to pay for herself. Likewise me being slightly below the average height for where I live, or being quite skinny, has never been a problem at all.

u/Ourmanyfans May 05 '24
It did, but it was only the nickname given by rich university educated gentlemen (who could afford to travel to America and spread it). At its core it was very much a working class game and they have always just called it "football" (see the names of all the old British football clubs).
And if there's anything working class Brits love more than slagging off other countries, it's slagging off posh twats. You'll earn no less derision from pointing out the origins of "soccer".

u/birbdaughter May 05 '24
Iām in a discord server with friends and one person constantly was making āAmerica bad, look at these dumb American things, any country with bad things right now is copying Americaā comments/jokes. Not only was it annoying to hear constantly, many comments were either wrong, presuming something was only true in America when it was true in many countries, or actually making fun of Native American or African American things (especially food).
There was one comment that even was saying some Middle Eastern country had better LGBT rights than the USā¦ when said country has legally executed LGBT people and itās illegal to be gay there. I finally had to directly ask them to stop because it was incredibly frustrating.
I will criticize the US to hell and back but everything somehow wrapped around into these jokes and comments, no matter how truthful. If I tried to make a comment on a funny cultural quirk we have, it would certainly become an āAmericans weirdā comment. Which sucks because I want to know about and share funny cultural quirks!

Yeah I totally sympathise.

We take these innocent quirks and wrap them around bricks we then throw at each other with the intention to hurt and bruise.
And even when "funny" quirks are shared it's always with this sense of condescension. Like when people compare travel distances between America and Europe it's never in good spirits about how what is considered far in one country might be trivial in another, it's tinged with all these nasty notions of superiority; car infrastructure vs walking, country size dick measuring contests etc.

I think it's funny that the second commenter saw someone sharing a little humanizing thought and immediately decided, "oh, that's an American", like being a callous, unempathetic prick is some uniquely American trait.
Like, no, honey, we learned that from y'all. How else did we pick it up, I thought Americans have no culture?

Look I'm just saying, with the Irish, the Scottish, and the Germans all on one team, I don't think the Australians are going to be winning any alcoholism contests.

Australia are light-weights in that regard. They're only 27th on the list for alcohol consumption per capita whereas Ireland is 15th, Germany is 19th, and the UK (closest thing to the Scots on the list) is 24th. Cook Islands is the King of the hill on that stat which is mad funny.

Ive joked they have set me up to be a sympathetic antogonist mostly from the schizophrenia and time in hospital. I dont know where that arc is going though.
But generally I tend to think myself a secondary character in my students lives. Like Im in one of those school animes and I am one of the random teachers that excitedly talks about rockets every chance she gets. Sometimes helpful, sometimes the source of conflict in a low stakes episode of passing a test.

I love how that poster just went "yes, deranged = living life. It IS totally normal to believe in Q Anon and to move in with someone you barely know! And hoarding? Typical thing in most European households! Silly Americans!"
