I've seen a number of videos of foreigners hating on their own media and govt for making America seem like a wasteland.


MSM continues to be a problem globally. We need to find the puppet masters and send them to research the bottom of the ocean.

It’s not surprising at all. Hell, our own media has a significant portion of Americans convinced that America is a greedy, evil cesspool built on crushing people of color at every opportunity and that we deserve punishment and ridicule internationally.

If Trump was never right about anything else, when he said "The media is the enemy", he was spot on.

And there were also areas of Chiraq, Baltimore, Detroit, St. Louis, etc. that they didn't visit.

Those are areas the media does not talk about though.

Just did a 12 day mini-tour of parts of Canada and got back home last night. Toronto hates Americans. We were treated pretty terribly. Ottawa, Niagara Falls, and Montreal folks were some of the friendliest people and loved us. Our only shite experience was in Toronto.

I grew up in N.O., know every street, where it's OK and where it's not. The problem is that once you get 70+ you are much more vulnerable and a target. It's not boomer paranoia, it's reality.

I'm going to get banned for this but just typing this out - it's so obvious that blacks terrorize communities. I don't know why we have to keep pretending that theyre the danger.

It's not like city buildings come alive and stab people. The first city that really cracks down on the particular subset that's over 5x more likely to murder you (fbi statistics) will be paradisiacal.


Couldn't be more spot on with this point.

Many algorhythm-fed Americans think Europe/UK is hell on Earth.

So true. Seems most people here think the UK is a few weeks away from being Iran. Then you actually visit and see it’s so insanely overblown.

I have watched a ton of WC videos of foreign fans surprised they wouldn't get murdered in the streets.

Oh and they bought all the ranch dressing.


why are you baffled by it? the foreign media shows only the bad parts and most europeans are idiots when it comes to understanding other cultures despite them thinking they are the cultured ones.

Is it any different for us? People here think if you step foot in SF, you’ll be shite on by a homeless person in 10 minutes.

And London is a shithole that is so overrun will woke liberals that you can’t enjoy yourself. And don’t get me started about all the Muslims raping and stabbing people in the streets of Paris…

I travel worldwide extensively for work. With the exception of most Asian countries the default English speaking channels in the hotel rooms are CNN, BBC, and less so Al Jazeera. Invariably those channels often get a US citizen to comment on US topics and guess what? That person typically hates their country and gloats while bashing it so it's no surprise how many foreigners hate us. Thankfully I've encountered very little bad treatment in most countries.

My mom is Danish, and my s/o is Swedish, so I am in Scandinavia a lot talking with our families. They generally think we are living dangerously and that Trump is a monster. We just laugh and tell them to come for a visit and decide for themselves. They always react like the WC videos. Things are great. They were mislead. Blah, blah, blah.

That's different.

Their social media would never exaggerate or lie to them.

Well, in their defense, there are areas of SF where that’s definitely the case.
