The average Dane is firmly convinced that Denmark is the most perfect place on earth, a paradise that the rest of the world can only dream of. It follows that any reasonable person who's not already a Dane must have a desire to become one. If they don't, there must either be something wrong with them or they simply haven't heard enough about how good Denmark is.

Well in fairness if you came to America and saw what a depraved, decaying shithole it is after being raised on a diet of airbrushed American media you'd probably be appalled, too.

I can't count how many stories I've heard of people visiting from civilized parts of the world and breaking down crying in the street when they see how American's treat homeless people.

Those kind of people exist anywhere, that isn't tied to any nationality. Guess it stemms from insecurities and chasing some weird need to feel superior about something.

Just a friendly reminder that bald eagles just sound like noisier seagulls. :)

Thing is, there's not much American news outside of the US. I live in Canada and have far less news about America than I'd thought there should be given how we are neighbors and partners. Most of the news I used to hear about the USA is from Reddit. And when I visit France (which I do regularly, bring born there), there's almost nothing about the US there.

Recently though, Trump was also over and it wasn't pretty. Also when going on Reddit, it's 80% about US News and content, but not necessarily the best news.

Overall, what bothers me and others is how much patriotic a lot of the Americans seem to be and how great they seem to think they are, even when you hear how bad the society is in terms of healthcare, pension, divided politics, crimes, conspiracy theory, etc.

But everytime I've been to the US, I've only met great and friendly people and have always appreciated it. You usually hear about the bad parts in the news.

look up racist memes intentionally

I think I won't thanks

Look up the racist “le 56% face” Nazi memes

Wow. I had no idea this was a thing.

Modern neo-nazis and white supremacists just don't really understand that the Nazis from WWII would reject and enslave a majority of them... mainly for having Jewish, Slavic, Roma, or other ethnic groups' blood.

Turns out post-WWI/WWII economic crises lead to a lot of migration and mixing of groups, who woulda thunk?

The "le 56% face" meme, on both sides of the coin, is just a precursor to the world's greatest Leopards ate My Face meme.
