    911 was a really stressful time for the US. It left some… marks on the psyche. Mix that with a general lack of education and you end up with that. Just count yourself lucky you don’t have to live here.

      I mean, I get that it’s utter shit right now and has been for some years and I don’t envy anyone who can’t get out. But this wasn’t yesterday. And you don’t see other nationalities going around being very loudly nationalistic and frankly antagonistic like that after they had some national tragedy.

        We’re supposed to excuse Americans for what they endured in 9/11 but fuck if we show any signs of empathy with Iraqis that lost half a million people because George W Bush threw a tantrum.
