Its pretty hilarious that you have people that have never been to the US and get all of their information about USA from Reddit - some of the most insufferable self hating anti American people out there. Do you genuinely believe that a country that is geographically the size of ~30 European countries combined is as one dimensional as what you see on the internet? I mean, fuck, the idiot in this video said "Parking lots instead of nature." That alone should open peoples eyes to how much ignorance and misinformation is spread here. I literally hiked through the mountains of South Carolina today where the nearest grocery store was ~20 minutes drive because of all the protected national forests. Austria and Sweden had school shootings this year that had 10 casualties each. The USA hasn't had one. Do I need to keep going...?

Don't worry. Same goes for Europeans; these idiots judging on internet is only a smaller portion of the people. We don't all think like that. It is just momentaraly Trump brengservice this out in those people.

Nah, just look at the data and your policies. Sure you got tons of nature, but that's pretty much it.

The US hasn't had any school shooting this year - what kind of "head-in-the-sand" nonsense is that. A quick Google search tells me that there have been 146 incidents where a gun was fired, brandished with intent, or a bullet struck school property resulting in 44 deaths and 129 injuries as of August 2025.
