It is appalling how divisive American politics is.
It is... another problem is that it's accepted as politics/difference of opinion instead for what it is.... Maliciousness
That's your takeaway? How divisive!
Both sides vibes over here. Did you do that on purpose?
Ha... My side is "eat the rich", "down with capitalism", "millionaire tax now*.
So.... What do you think? 🤔
Immediately when you are not a crappy person you get the "Cornet/Horn" section immediately whining saying " blahlahblah your just think your better than us" ect ect.
yes, it is. And they don't even think anything is wrong. I kind of wish they weren't the most powerful country. But then I think of the alternatives and...
Everything Non-European is a nono (except maybe Taiwan, SK or JAP). France and Britain would absolutely get unbearably cocky, germany wouldn't use its powers to better the world and instead insist on dialog, Poland would absolutely bully russia (actually that doesn't sound too bad now (JK please read about the Treaty of versailles if you unironically think this is a good Idea))
Maybe one of the Baltics or the Nordics? Finland sounds responsible.
The nordic countries are reasonable because they are mostly made up of a monoculture. If the had to deal with the rest of the world’s views they would rapidly become as bad as the US.
End of the day, every country exists to protect their own interests first. And we long ago lost the art of diplomacy.
