yeah youre telling me. i was on another forum earlier today and saw a thread talking about the decline of the west, with a focus on america. some guy from greece comes in and says "why arent you guys pointing out the obvious, it's clear that your president is the one divided people" and starts posting a bunch of fake news articles.

look, I don't comment on British people being weirdos for bending the knee for a bunch of child rapists that call themselves royalty, because I don't know enough about the reality of the British situation to understand why they haven't gotten together and decided the French had the right of it 200 years ago. As a result, I just don't talk about it. You'd figure foreigners would do the same thing when it comes to American politics.

Yeah you think it would be common sense not to talk shit about people if you don't know what they really go through like that or you don't know their culture. Those guys don't have common sense.

I think there is a sense globally that America as a concept is “owned” by other countries; most of our citizens are descendants of other countries, and we pay massive amounts of money to support their lifestyles via contributions to NATO, WHO, and other organizations. I think there is a lot of, “America should do this” because how America does it will directly impact their lives in other countries.

Brits choosing a different monarch doesn’t really effect the rest of the world any more; America electing a new president does. More so than any other election in the world.
