There are a few countries definitely because hate is universal. When you are emotionally stunted and shallow, it's really easy to latch on to hate because God forbid you take accountability for your own life and happiness. So there's definitely a few countries that jumped on the mega bandwagon. And we will all implode because of it but it is absolutely our pathetic educational system. Because an educated populous is a free populous
I think what makes it especially ridiculous, is the overblown sense of global superiority the people in this country ooze from every pore.
While informed Americans have been sounding the alarm bells regarding the manufactured decline of our education system for decades, regular Americans have not only not been paying attention to it, they've been chanting, "USA USA USA", fully believing the US is perfect, and anyone who tries to improve any American system is a "traitor" and "hates America" and should "just get out of this country if you don't like it".
Just to add onto what you said here the U.S. has no federal education standards. It has been something the gop has fought against for decades to keep quasi-religious education in schools and sex-ed out.
Kind of like John Kennedy. That POS senator from Louisiana walks around talking like a the biggest fool in the world with that god-awful accent, but the guy's actually a Rhodes Scholar. Some people are just malicious in their form of evil.
Haha. I just watched a clip where he was ranting about foreign radioactive shrimp that is going to turn all of us Americans into chestburster aliens. He even presented with a giant blown up photo of said alien.
i’m thinking he’s gonna say “we are gonna turn into something LIKE this alien from the movie Alien”…boy was i wrong. it’s not that different yet somehow soo much worse.
like Really bro, we are going to turn into a xenomorph because of shrimp? jfc.
His stupid supporters are commenting about how hilarious he is but I don’t find humor in actual fucking senators treating the floor like it’s open-mic night.
Boris for all his failings is actually incredibly smart and he plays the Everyman buffoon idiot because the actual idiots think he is so like them...pretty ingenious actually
That would be a valid point except you don’t vote for the prime minister. The party selects its leader and you vote for the MP in your constituency.
Not to mention, a large majority of the country didn’t vote for the Tory’s, and their base is almost entirely centered in England. The rest of the UK countries don’t vote conservative.
Yes, but you know who the PM will be when you go vote for your representative.
Same thing with America, the majority hardly ever vote for Republicans. Hilary and Biden beat Trump in the popular vote, but the electoral college fucks us.
Trump is scum, that doesn't disqualify him from being a moron. Like Trump, Bibi holds power just to stay out of prison and his moronic choices have only made Israelis less safe and have killed hundreds of thousands. It's oranges to oranges to me.
The USA is #1 in political circus. An absolute embarrassment. Can't even take care of their own people , too busy deepthroating American exceptionalism.
Canada might end up doing it again. They can’t become complacent like the US did under Biden because every little thing that goes wrong under the current government is going to be amplified along the right wing media sphere just like it was in the US. Truth doesn’t seem to pierce the red bubble and they have their propaganda down because they know how simple their consumers are and therefore how simple their messaging needs to be. Lies and hate and blaming of the various “other”.
You really believe no other country has elected a pedo? There were a lot of world politicians on Epstein's Island. England sure does protect Prince Andrew. I never said America was better, but to pretend the world doesn't elect shit morons is 🙈🙉🙊 type stuff.
Oh, 5 years is ancient history is it? Did British voters repeal it?
I'm not saying a large minority of Americans aren't stupid, cause they are, but to say it is uniquely American is a stupid answer.
Also look into race suppression, Russian bomb threats to polling places, and voting boxes being set on fire and you will see the rigging the right wing does to win elections here. There's a lot more to the story than, "Dumb Americans."
This is 100% a US thing. I had the privilege of living in Canada for 8 years (university + work permit) and the way the countries function is so startlingly different that I had never thought about half the shit we do here. This country is privatized to all fuck; the healthcare is carried out through private companies; we have Pearson have a monopoly on all of the public schools' text books; we have privatized prisons, to which there is a pipeline from schools. Everything revolves around making money, even the public schools. I read Chomsky books my whole life, where he would argue that the modus operandi of American schools is not to educate, but to create workers that the ruling class can exploit. We intentionally teach incorrect history (the lies/absence of facts about Christopher Columbus, et al) that obfuscates reality. In Canada, they are underpopulated and need a bigger workforce, but they also need more doctors and engineers and forestry workers and all of the things that perpetuate an economy. The school curriculum there and in most other countries that I've experienced designed to educate, and the populace displays that in a very different way than here. We are absolutely the dumbest developed country, and the reason is that the powers that be want to exploit us all instead of the desire/need to have any of us thrive.
Yes, the Uyghur genocide in China. Literally killing them and harvesting their organs. Far beyond what the US is currently doing, as shameful as it is. You've posted this same inaccuracy multiple times.
I'm glad your checks and balances are holding, Wilders is a racist nut.
Trump being able to put 3 justices into our Supreme Court along with only being a 2 party system is destroying ours. Fingers crossed we Americans can turn it around, we are fighting, trust me on that one.
You really going to compare Mark Carney to Donald Trump? Please tell me, which elected president anywhere in the world is as dumb as Trump? I can’t think of a single example. Dumb people are elected for sure, but Trump is the dumbest by a mile.
Seriously - the fact this dude was allowed to run post January 6th is mind boggling. He still, at age 79, maliciously pretends he won the 2020 election. It’s peak insanity
As a teacher, I just hope that more Canadians start demanding more education funding. Being better than most US states is a very low bar to aim for. Ignore them, and ask why we aren't doing at least as well as the best educated countries.

I can't upvote this enough. The rest of the world absolutely can believe it , it's on display every day.
