Checking in from New Zealand to say my opinion and the general public consensus is that your country is full of screaming retards that inexplicably produce almost all of the good media in the world. Kids here are exposed to so much American media they think American laws are relevant to them (I saw a twenty year old posting about Trump taking away her right to have an abortion last week) and our emergency services had to add 911 to their actual number so retards didn't keep dying. This is a for real problem. Americans' desperate desire to gently caress yourselves and each other over because you're desperately afraid of an unrelated ideology that died thirty years ago is baffling as gently caress. American patriotism is both gross and hilarious, as is your constant desire to rewrite history and pretend you're an underdog when you're an empire. American politics is skewed so hard to the right that your left wing politicians are well to the right of any other countries right wing parties and the pursuit of capital at the expense of all else is a hugely damaging ideology inflicted on the rest of us.

CrazySalamander posted:Eh, my thoughts were to make it a more useful thread as per the subforum rules. Anyway, a question for Wilco specifically: what are your thoughts on the illegality of home liquor manufacture in most of the rest of the world? Is that a right that people in New Zealand care about much? Or does basically no one care? It's legal here and no one really cares. Pretty much only new dads home brew to save money and have a hobby that's lowish effort.

Sic Semper Goon posted:My brother was over there recently, (from Australia), and he said "people get easily infuriated by the slightest delay in traffic". Lol note the several examples of how dumb NZers are I gave in my response in this, the "what do other countries think of the US" thread. Any other amerigoons that are huffing their way in to go "no, you're a poopyhead country! America rules! USA!USA!USA!" might want to reread the bit about how hilarious your patriotism is.

your friend a dog posted:Nah its a pretty retarded question. 'What vague, incorrect assumption do people in some tiny nation state with 1/66 of the population have that applies to the equivalent of 50 connected countries that covers roughly as much landmass as europe'. Who gives a gently caress? You apparently do, very, very much. I am sorry I hurt your red white and blue heart.

Bernie is a left centrist, calling him a socialist is why the US is perceived as somewhere to the right of Mussolini. The extreme right wing parties you mentioned have a handful of parliamentary seats between them and their leaders are about on par with your current president.

This is what happens when you make children grow up praying to a flag every day in school. They end up assuming the area they happened to fall out of their mum in as a key part of their self worth and identity, cry when someone says "please stop blowing up weddings in a country you're allies with because of an attack which killed less people than the CIA kills in an average month 16 years ago", and buy big fat truck nuts all day, every day. If anything my opinions more valuable than yours through supply and demand.

your friend a dog posted:If where we're born isn't key to our worth or identity why should I care where we blow up a wedding? America.txt The answer is actually that you shouldn't blow up weddings because you're insecure, wherever they are.

^this. Your left wing party could be our right wing party if they were less corporate biased, and your right wing party is basically a slightly chilled out Taliban. Lol at the cold war years being your example, most of the rest of the world thought the USA and the USSR were both dickheads who were going to destroy the world needlessly.

"It's ridiculous that people keep saying that Americans have a hilarious and weird patriotism fetish. Let me prove this by explaining why America is the greatest country in the world again in slightly more detail" - slowly gives a reach around to a bald eagle while maintaining eye contact and openly weeping.

On the other hand Australia does literally have concentration camps where it's specifically illegal for the staff to report child rape and the rest of the world's too upset about a reality TV star putting a bit more effort into enforcing existing US immigration laws.

Only an American would tell people who are not American, how to feel about America, in the how do people who are not American, feel about America, thread.

You know that weird bit in every big budget movie where they go to China for no reason (we'll, no diegetic reason, just cause China gave them heaps of money) and spend 5 minutes talking about how great the Chinese government is? The entire rest of the movie is like that for non Americans.
