American issues come from hyper-individuality - Honest - 03-06-2022
I was wondering why Americans act so crazily, and are so keen to enforce their values on others, despite having an individualistic and liberal culture. Furthermore, why do Americans seem to act so rashly (such as road rage and violence), despite having very harsh prison sentences?
I believe that this is largely due to hyper-individuality, in the sense that the individual has become so self-centred and entitled that they attempt to enforce their views/desires on others, without a care for practicality or consequences.
The outcome of this is that you have insane and obscure groups, such as nazis, communists, homosexuals, feminists, black supremacists etc. come together to stage protests and marches and so on. This behaviour can only come from extreme levels of solipsistic narcissism.
There are many great things about America, but the people have drifted too far from their roots, and the common mentality has been damaged to the point of being forever unfixable.

Normal Americans are hedonists and don’t give a shit about politics. Activists are a different neuro type.

True. Americans are so narcy they have even been tricked into thinking that universal healthcare is somehow evil socialism just because everybody get´s coverage. They don´t see themselves as a group of people with shared interests. The desire to feel superior to the people below them is too strong to have a common sense collectivist set of beliefs. Instead of paying for mental wards (that would be socialism) they rather have homeless shitting on their streets. They don´t even take care of their traumatized war veterans. The US are the psychopathic centre of the 21st century version of the roman empire.

every country has it's pros and cons
and tbh, a lot of what you're describing is just inherent to the human condition. america just has more avenues for people to express these "undesirable" behaviors
america has its flaws, but its the last bastion of freedom in the world if we're being honest with ourselves
also healthcare everywhere is shit if it's something chronic. the trick is not getting sick in the first place

No doubt that without the US the world order would be unbearable. It´s truly sick to watch all the contrarian morons who have beeen tricked into supporting russian and china. These 2 empires of evil would crush their opposiotion with brutal force.

Now imagine this but it's also a million times worse and everyone is obese, has bad teeth, is bigoted, and takes out their repressed hatred of blacks on immigrants, and is also obsessed with cuckmuneism to the point of destroying their economy's potential and letting china win. That's britain.
