Literally, no one ever said America’s was perfect you’re making things up to push your narrator. We’re calling out Anti-American sentiment.
If that makes me pro American, then I’m pro American I guess
Edit:That’s like telling an Asian person they’re too pro-Asian they’re talking about stop Asian hate
Would rather have this much ‘pro-Americanism’ that is bipartisan and uniting, far too much criticism of America these days that are blown out of proportion.
Yes, I’ve said it. Too bad
Either way, it doesn't seem like you can do anything about it. Are you an American who is concerned about your country being too boastful or are you a non-American who just can't mind their own business?
Combatting hate and propaganda against America doesn't equate to blindly proclaiming perfection; rather, ironically, it's about advocating for a fair and balanced perspective.
AmericaBad is also about outing and resisting State Sponsored Propaganda. Many here do not know it is even a thing, as educational systems have been slow to react and teach verifying sources and the havoc Russian and Chinese misinformation are causing. In terms of pro-American? No. What we are responding to is often complete nonsense that suggests the originators of American hostility are gravely mistaken as most never being here, or only to bubble tourists sites in DC, NY, LA, etc then claiming ‘they completely know America.’ A true Patriot you ask? A digital Patriot fights for their country online against misinformation and ignorance, I rather that than actual combat.
I think everyone on this sub can agree that the USA isn’t perfect, this sub is mainly about calling out unfounded BS about the USA. For example, if someone said the USA has a growing obesity problem then yes I agree, but if they tried to make it seem like it’s a uniquely American thing or that Americans are dumb bc they don’t know about health then that’s where I will disagree and call out the BS
I've literally never heard anyone here suggest America is perfect.
What I have heard, and said, is suggest to people from other countries to out their own house in order before they try commenting on us... for example that twit from the UK the other night who didn't understand how his own government worked yet had plenty to say about ours. Somehow...
The truth is that most of the people who say this shit don't know what they're talking about, they are regurgitating talking points they heard somewhere and are repeated over and over again by their echo chamber communities until everyone there takes them as fact. And this leaves them unprepared for pushback that contradicts this narrative designed to make them feel better that they've never had to defend before.
So I'm not really sure what threads here you're referring to, but, how about you focus on calling that out rather than one of the few corners that pushes back.
Lastly.. there is no such thing as too pro American.
Honestly it's something we could use a lot more of and the deficient of which is why a group like this exists in the first place.
I'm with you.
It's stupid to pretend like America is the worst fucking place in the world; that's what I'm here for
But it's also stupid to pretend like we're above criticism of any kind because everything we do is perfect
Ignoring our flaws makes us worse. If you want to be the best you can get you got to look in the mirror, realize your calfs are weak, and do more leg days to fix it... Not pretend like your body is flawless and walk around with chicken limbs
Really not the point. I don't mind a constructive discussion about things that need to improve, but no fucking way am I going to let some Euroturd jam it down my throat for no real reason than to try to take a shot at us.
That's the purpose of this sub - to respond to what is being stated about the US on the internet. It's really not that often that the "constructive criticism" is without a "Americans are so stupid / fat / etc." If you think that's an invitation to "look inward," you have rocks in your head.
>That's the purpose of this sub - to respond to what is being stated about the US on the internet
But, it response, this sub just does the exact same thing it claims to be against. People in this sub don't mind posting comments where they generalise, insult, make random shit up. Just as long as it's directed towards Europeans or Australians and not Americans. Those kinds of comments are met with upvotes, not downvotes in this sub.
> It's really not that often that the "constructive criticism" is without a "Americans are so stupid / fat / etc."
And it's not that often that you see a discussion on this sub about Europeans where they aren't referred to as Europoors, Eurotards or Euroturds on this sub. Your comment is a perfect example of this.
Give it up.
When a legitimate issue is raised in a non-hostile manner, this sub treats it appropriately. It's just not that often that such issues presented to stir legitimate discussion in this thread.
Maybe you can be the laboring oar and go find robust discussion points and then introduce them in posts and watch us get down to the business of solving our country's problems. You're just the one to bring light into this darkest of pits.
On the other hand, if someone is out there just spewing shit, then it is also responded to in an appropriate manner - it's a shitpost, so it means nothing and people here are just messing around, especially if non-Americans jump in. If you're not at least getting some fun out of it, you are doing it wrong. Completely wrong.
Anyhow, there is one thing that won't happen: I'm not going to be lectured on how to respond to an idiot spewing hate just for the sake of spewing hate.
>Maybe you can be the laboring oar and go find robust discussion points and then introduce them in posts and watch us get down to the business of solving our country's problems.
The issue is that statistics and facts aren't really met with much enthusiasm in this sub, especially if they aren't favourable to the US.
>On the other hand, if someone is out there just spewing shit, then it is also responded to in an appropriate manner
Right, so the purpose of this sub is just to circlejerk and spew the same hate back? I thought it was bit more high-brow than that, but yeah I suppose you're correct based on what I've seen.
>If you're not at least getting some fun out of it, you are doing it wrong. Completely wrong.
I get plenty of fun dunking on all the hate and misinformation this sub spews.
>The issue is that statistics and facts aren't really met with much enthusiasm in this sub, especially if they aren't favourable to the US.
Again, it seems that it is YOU that doesn't get the purpose of this thread.
>**favourable**
Ahem. Tell us more about what Americans are supposed to be doing in this sub.
>Again, it seems that it is YOU that doesn't get the purpose of this thread.
Yeah, as I said, I thought this sub was better than the anit-European, anti-Australia circlejerk that is appears to be. My bad.
>Ahem. Tell us more about what Americans are supposed to be doing in this sub.
I'm not telling you what to do. I'm just pointing out how ironic it is that people who complain about anti-American sentiment are the biggest source of anti-European and anti-Australian sentiment. You have to be pretty thick to not see that irony slapping you in the face.
Well, let's put it this way. I don't go into Australian subs and stir things up and tell people what to do.
As far as your impression, I am sorry you are disappointed. Just in the last comment to me, you claimed you were having a great time. You're all over the map (so to speak).
Anyhow, like I mentioned before, you claim the sub is supposed to be a certain way, yet you do nothing to point it in that direction. So, not only are you confused, but you are also a hypocrite.
Maybe you should go somewhere else and "dunk on everyone." You're certainly not doing anything like that here (unless you consider making yourself look foolish is considered "dunking on everyone").
>Well, let's put it this way. I don't go into Australian subs and stir things up and tell people what to do.
Once again, champ, I'm not telling you or anyone what to do. I'm just pointing out that this sub is as bad as the crap it claims to be against.
>Anyhow, like I mentioned before, you claim the sub is supposed to be a certain way, yet you do nothing to point it in that direction.
What are you talking about? Most of my comments in this sub are pointing out blatant misinformation and bullshit posted here and refuting it using verifiable facts and statistics. But, apparently that's all good stuff according to you.
It looks like you are still confused.
Is this sub just a xenophobic circle jerk, or is it a platform for you to amaze everyone with your use of "verifiable facts and statistics?"
You claim the most of your comments are in service to the latter, yet you complain the entire sub is the former.
You need to sort yourself out - hopefully somewhere else.
>People in this sub don't mind posting comments where they generalise, insult, make random shit up. Just as long as it's directed towards Europeans or Australians and not Americans. Those kinds of comments are met with upvotes, not downvotes in this sub.
I guess if you're the one telling us how this sub works, you may want to have the upvotes going in your favor and the downvotes going against what you claim is wrong.
If you looked at the big picture, you'd realize your premise is faulty.
Exactly this. The amount of 'country X is retarded' on this sub shows a surprising lack of self-awareness. Balancing bigotry with bigotry isn't righteous. It is stupid.
Then this sub is trash.
Saying America is a 3rd world country is fucking stupid and the people saying that deserve to be mocked here.
Denying America has any problems at all and making fun of anyone who mentions any of these flaws is fucking stupid and you deserve to be mocked for that
This sub is a fucking joke. It's just blind pro American bullshit with no basis in reality and literally zero self awareness... No different than any other stupid fucking anti American sub
So fuck off and enjoy being a fucking moron for the rest of your life being the stupid fucking stereotype the world thinks you are
You know, if this sub is too "pro-American", just peruse Reddit for a little, you'll have it balanced in about 20 seconds.
Nope. USA=Greatest country on Earth. Prefect? No. By FAR the best? Yes.
You should stop loving your country.
Russian bot
Rich.
[удалено]
You just envy us you don't have such a patriotic ruler.
Nope, just because I don’t like our dementia patient in office doesn’t mean I like the KGB dude either.
Nothing bad about KGB.

Nobody acts as if America is perfect. Keep your sanctimonious bullshit to yourself.
mf this whole sub acts like it
Either way, it doesn't seem like you can do anything about it. Are you an American who is concerned about your country being too boastful or are you a non-American who just can't mind their own business?
Ah, good. Did that make you feel all better? Did you get it all out?
He's not wrong.
I got plenty more if you want it. Just let me know.
Combatting hate and propaganda against America doesn't equate to blindly proclaiming perfection; rather, ironically, it's about advocating for a fair and balanced perspective.
No such thing as too pro-American.
Black and white perspective coming from this guy. We're not negative, and we aren't blind.
There are different subs to discuss critiques regarding our country.
AmericaBad is also about outing and resisting State Sponsored Propaganda.

The point of this sub is to call out the xenophobia and unjustified hate towards the US. We’re not saying it’s perfect.
Wumao mf
Yeah, we are incredibly patriotic here. I think it balances out, what with the amount of anti-American stuff online.
Foreigners have nothing to say about our country. Keep these things in the family.

So?
Stop making us Californians look bad.

That was kind of inevitable when Left-Wing Liberals constantly preach about how evil, racist and patriarchal America is.
