War on the native, original poplulation.
Violence towards blacks via slavery.
Vietnam. The conflicts in the east.
The government is, without even arguing, retarded. The companies and corporations that originate from are oppressive string pullers over there that nikel and dime you and others.
And some of the people, although I'm not saying they're bad, are riding a very old hype train of "we're the best" based off old events in history when the world is leaving them behind right now in advancements.

It's a country founded on war and violence. War to form the country. War on the native, original poplulation. Violence towards blacks via slavery. Vietnam. The conflicts in the east.The government is, without even arguing, retarded. The companies and corporations that originate from are oppressive string pullers over there that nikel and dime you and others.And some of the people, although I'm not saying they're bad, are riding a very old hype train of "we're the best" based off old events in history when the world is leaving them behind right now in advancements.And lastly, the population itself is so divided and against itself.The proof is in the numbers. More speficially, I'm not saying it's the people. But the american government, its sociatal values, its blind patriotisim and practical propaganda, make the country a place to dislike and a place to hate, and an easy target.Russia fits this little stereotype of yours far better than America. Do we see people hating on Russia they way they hate on America? Nope. Because nobody's jealous of Russia. Russia isn't anywhere near as relevant in anything as America is. There are very valid criticisms to make on America. The ones you just made can be applied to every single country on the planet.You know, part of the reason stereotypes exist is because they play a hand in reality. They do, have a founding. A stereotype is just too broad of a generalization and yet at the same time it still has a vague sense of merit.Anyway.A true point to dislike about America. It's an expansive, smothering and consuming culture. Case and and point.Mcdonalds. Walmart. Target. Best Buy.These stores are all across the world. These places push into other cultures and erode them over time. Japan. Japan's youth are having problems because they're moving away from their countries traditional way of eating and going to Mcdonalds.This is what you'd call passive aggressive culture smothering. Set up shop in a country, and sell them your shit, and you gain control. You influence the culture passively by selling them your shit until all that's left is another western-esque clone and a shell of a country, its people, and its culutre.This, is undeniable. And it's America that pushes this across the entire world.Nobody's forced to go to McDonalds. There's no "cultural smothering" going on. People like going to McDonald's, so they go eat there. If the Japanese youth is fucked up, that's Japan's problem. McDonald's doesn't make young Japanese people not have sex and become obsessed with anime. That's traditional Japanese culture, funnily enough, being too strict and forcing kids to go to extremes. These American stores wouldn't stay open for years and years in there countries if the locals didn't buy things from them. Don't like it? Don't buy it. But don't dare act like America itself has this agenda of destroying every other culture when 1. These are companies expanding to make more money and become more successful. 2. America is the most culturally diverse place on the planet. 3. Neither the American government or people have any say in the matter of McDonald's setting up shop in Tokyo. There's nothing "undeniable" about any of what you said. It's just more foreigner hatred for America from yet another foreigner who hasn't set foot in America.Lol, cite sources pls.My sources say that your information is bullshithttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_ranked_by_ethnic_and_cultural_diversity_levelQuoteIn the Fearon list, cultural fractionalization is approximated by a measure of similarity between languages, varying from 1 = the population speaks two or more unrelated languages to 0 = the entire population speaks the same language.[3] This index of cultural diversity is biased towards linguistic variations as opposed to genetic diversity and other variations.Do you read any of the articles you post? Or are you going all out in an attempt to be the forum's new Kinder?So essentially, your job is misrepresenting your arguments in order to justify the stupidity coming out of your mouth?Good to know, I'll just refrain from taking the bait.How am I misrepresenting anything? You're the one using a list that's linguistically biased simply to be contrarian. America is the most culturally and ethnically diverse country on the planet. If you want to close your eyes and cover your ears while saying Papua New Guinea is the most diverse based on a biased linguistics list, you're more than welcome.
