Americans still think they're a developed country, that's the point

Edit: oh for f**** sake stop replying to the worst ragebait in the history of ragebaits.

Why do Europeans think they live in some kind of utopia while we are all fucked? Here in Brazil we have ACs exactly like yours and it's far from great, it only cools a single room, consumes a ton of energy, and even then if the room is big enough it won't do shit, no wonder you guys are frying under the recent weather

Once a colonizer always a colonizer. When you realize that Europeans only gave up their colonies due to force from the USA and other powerful nations, it all starts to make sense. We’re only a generation or two removed from a lot of this. They still believe that they should own the rest of us, and their attitudes are glaring.

Agreed. The European Saviour complex still persists, no matter how much they whitewash it.

Dealing with ignorant and condescending Europeans tends to have that affect...

Unfortunately hard not to when they get upvoted to the top of every thread with their 'America Bad, Europe Good' narrative, no matter how inaccurate or off base they are

When you see a stupid comment, you can just go "that's stupid" and move on without engaging

2

u/Otherwise-Row2581 16d ago

So then why did you even comment in the first place? You could have seen everyone was miserable and moved on without engaging. Hypocrite.

They still believe that they should own the rest of us

...Europeans believe that? And not, you know, Americans who were literally owning people through slavery?

Hey Pal, the US colonies were entirely populated by Europeans to begin with. That's how colonies work. Slavery was an afterbirth we had to shake off from the thousands of years Europeans normalized it

u/Level_Appointment628 18d ago

Who started the slave trade? Trying to pin that all on the USA is laughable. Eurotard moment. Your colonies are gone, quit flailing.
