        If you don’t want to hear about America being bad, don’t go to the same places as people who live in reality.

          I don’t deny the problems with this country. I vote to try and make this country better. Seeing the same posts about how horrible this country is gets old after a while. A majority of Reddit and this site would agree with the flaws of the US. The people who really need to hear this stuff aren’t on here.

            The thing is, America (many Americans anyway) are continually screaming at everyone online about how America is the best country in the world and everywhere else is a shithole - despite very few measures supporting that.

            If you insist on telling everyone you’re the best, when you have so many serious flaws, people are going to mock you for it.

        See most places are bad but America should be better. It presents itself as the better. It does not always live up to that better and so those people who want us to be better keep reminding us we have a lot of work to do. I can tell you personally how horrible America can be but I don’t think you want to hear that from a Lakota.

        Hi. As a not American, I can say Americans get made fun of a lot by not Americans. We like to share these jokes with each other online, as not Americans also use the internet.

            Canada. I’d appreciate any joke. Personal favourites include our Prime Minister’s blackface, or changing the words of the national anthem to be “our home on native land”, or suggesting that we have two official languages: English and Chinese.

                I thought it was the worst ones.

                Because literally the first one that comes to mind is Justin Bieber.

                That is such a poor attempt at a joke, it’s like an elderly frail person trying to have sex
