Why do people hate on Americans specifically for our tipping culture, completely ignoring that tipping is also a thing in Canada and Mexico, yet nobody says anything about them? Like make it make sense.
Cause it’s not like other countries don’t have their own issues, also they choose to consume our media. When they have issues, they blame the US always. Very typical.
Finally someone who can separate individual Americans from our government.
College kid from the US here, I’ve stopped looking at the news. Literally deleted all of my news sources. I barely even use Reddit anymore. I’m not angry, I’m not sad, I’m not scared, I just feel exhausted. I can’t have good mental health and stay up to date with every dumb thing Trump says, does, every war, etc. it was driving me into a deep depression. I’m in college now and I have too much homework, too many friends, and too much work to have time to even pay attention to the news anymore. I’m done. I officially reached my limit and I just can’t do it anymore. It’s liberating being able to focus on what’s happening in front of me instead of having constant panic attacks or feeling angry about politics. I’ll still vote and fight for what I believe in, but I’m done letting the news consume my life. Like I said before, I have wayyyyy too much going on in my personal life and I’m not gonna let politics distract me anymore. That’s it ig. It’s just exhausting. I’m not even angry anymore. I just want Trump to fuck off and I wanna move on with my life and not have to hear his voice or see his face anymore.
I’m American btw and I am beyond tired of Trump. I’m struggling immensely with his presidency. Two great 80 year olds died this week but he’s still alive??? I’ve had a hard year and this is just the icing on the cake.

It’s totally not like diabetes is a condition that has existed for thousands of years. /s
As a teenager from the US, I used to be deeply hurt and affected by the hate comments made towards us. As pathetic as it sounds, sometimes I would cry myself to sleep at night because of the cyber bullying I’d face from non-Americans because I’m American. It made me hate myself. It made me feel like shit everyday. I was bullied in school growing up so the hate I got brought up a lot of bad memories from when I was bullied at school. It felt like middle school all over again. I felt the need to constantly apologize every time someone patronized me and used me as a punching bag to get their political anger towards the US out, even tho I wasn’t even old enough to vote for the current government in the first place. I sat there and took it, day after day, while it ate me up inside. It completely damaged me and my view on the world for a while. Then I found this sub. I realized from this sub that most of the hate I was getting was not justified or fair. That some of it was probably AI bots that I was manipulated by. That the US isn’t a shithole country like these people told me. Now I feel secure in my nationality and when someone tries to patronize me now I just don’t care. I say “whatever you wanna believe” and move on. I’ve learned that with these people, no amount of logic or information will change their opinions. They will always find reasons to try and bully me for my nationality and they aren’t worth my time, tears, or energy. Thank you to this sub for giving me this perspective and reminding me of the good things about this country, and that I don’t need to feel guilty for existing.
Yeah so actually our food quality is one of the highest.
I’m too exhausted to even explain but I came here to say thank you so much dickheads who put him into power. Congratulations you jackass’s and selfish elitist, child fucking, savage, predators. You have officially destroyed this country and turned it into a fascist dictatorship where the elites and the rich get richer and the rest of us are fucked over in every way. I hope you MAGAs are fucking proud of yourselves. You’ve poisoned everything and have fucked over everyone. I’d be surprised if anyone wanted to befriend you in the future if they found out about your fascist attitudes. 🖕
Ps: I’m 18 years old. No 18 year old should have to feel this way. My life is just starting and it’s already being destroyed. I can barely afford to do shit. Fuck this.

I’m ngl, as a young person, I’m still new to politics and all this stuff. I won’t lie, I was a pick me American at first. I was apologizing constantly online for the actions of the US, being American, etc. and I felt ashamed at the time. If I’m being truthful, I still don’t agree with everything our country does, but I’m no longer ashamed to be American. Why? Because I saw the hate people have been holding towards us since way before Trump even got elected. They’re using Trump as an excuse to justify the awful and nasty things they are saying about us but let’s be honest, they never liked us. We could have Obama in office again and they’d still find reasons to shit on us. ShitAmericanSay is way older than Trump’s term. I saw comments from years ago saying Americans are savages and animals. Now I see why you guys have been angry for so long. Now I’m ashamed to say that I was a pick-me American.
As someone who’s of age to be drafted, I’ve been having a lot of anxiety about this. With the Iran war, Israel stuff, the war in Ukraine, etc. I’m scared that there’s going to be a draft. The changes to the Selective Service system in December are making my fears so much worse. I’m sorry this is a dumb question but I’m rlly scared.
Like they ask as if we haven’t seen the thousands and thousands of relentless hate comments. Talking about how fat we are, our guns, our arrogance, how dumb we are, etc. even on videos that aren’t related to the US at all. Ofc we know our reputation abroad. These people don’t stop yelling at us about it for a second. They sound like parrots preaching the same Anti-American rhetoric over and over. We get it. Sybau.
I love how on this sub people from all over the world, different cultures, countries, etc. can find things to agree on and relate to each other with. It’s a nice space to be and reminds us that we are all people at the end of the day no matter where we are from. It’s nice learning about different cultures and the concept of joking with and sharing laughs with people from across the world is awesome.
