    America: I bet the rest of the world is so thinking about me right now.

    The rest of the world: My brother in earth, I have my own shit going on.

      We don’t think this… Other countries just think we think this. I’m not kidding, that’s actually the case lol.

      It’s shocking for us in the states to learn about other countries knowing which states are which. We don’t even know that!

      This is weird. I constantly see posts about how America is bad from Europeans. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one the other way around. Who is thinking about who all the time?

        Mostly Europeans amuse themselves about how Americans think they’re living in a first world country while having absolute basic developed-world-shit just flat out fail. I.e. health care, consumer regulation, public transit, education, clean water. Sure the US is not uniform but it’s a single country. Even Europe has it’s own problems but most countries have this stuff figured out more or less.
        The reason Europeans mock Americans is because Americans always ALWAYS complain about how they’re getting fucked. And Europeans are just like “lol that shit ain’t an issue here”. Which a) contributes to Europeans thinking the US is a shithole and b) making Americans seem kinda whiny.
