“This Is Violently American”: 45 Posts From A Facebook Group Dedicated To Things That Could Only Come From The States

We don't have a unified culture in the US any more than the entirety of Europe has one unified culture. I live in New England. I briefly lived in the Southwest and felt like a stranger in a strange land the whole time I was there. Nothing about the Southwest was familiar to me. I've been in the Deep South, and everything there is unfamiliar to me, as if I'm from a different country. And most of the garbage in this article was completely strange to me.

I'm with you up until the last line. I don't apologize for things I'm not responsible for.

yes, and the world is only America and Europe, nothing else :-D

Fück yes, we do, but dare to say anything about it and you get downvoted into oblivion.

At a certain point, it's not taking the p**s, it's plain meanness.

Yes, because it would be liked us bashing English or French normal customs, along with the more problematic thing. It’s just repetitive

I have family in both the United States and United Kingdom and have lived in both countries, so I get sick of people taking the p**s out of me from both sides on this site. If you dare complain and say that Europe also has problems you are downvoted into oblivion and told that you aren't working hard enough to better your home country. This is just plain meanness now. I have contacted BoredPanda multiple times about these really cruel listicles and they do jack s**t.

Only if it’s stupid. So yes. If it’s valid then it’s fine.

Nope. I find it hilarious. And I lived in Florida for 27 years. (I was born there.) We know we deserve it. Even if we won't admit it. Although I'm not claiming Will from the Inbetweeners. Lol he is a brit if I have EVER seen one! TeeHee

not really. I haven't liked this place since I found out everything I learned in american history class was a glorified lie. I haven't wanted to live here since I realized how much hate I'm surrounded by. I hate this place because it costs so much to get necessary medical care for my disability. I wish my ancestors just stayed in europe.

Meh, sorta. I know that a good portion of our country is really crappy, and that it needs so much work, posts like this just kinda enforce how much change we really need. It doesn't bother me that much, because I know what all the stereotypes are for the US, but I do know that there is a lot of beauty here that gets ignored, because there are a bunch of s***y people here

Well, we make it so easy to do, what do we expect?

Meh, when it's just taking the p**s I don't really care, sometimes it's actually funny . When people get into the whole "I hate this country because of xyz" then my response is to remind them that flights leave Dulles everyday, and they're welcome to get on one.

Actually I find it to be rather funny in a sad, embarrassed kind of way... Especially when I know someone is just going to keep it going with a bad attempt at defending it all. Pretty sure bashing other countries is a national pass time in every country.

I'm an American from European immigrants so, no.

Well, Hitler copied America’s treatment of Native and Black Americans for his Final Solution. Also, whites lied about pretty much everything having to do with those 2 groups. Passed laws to allow every imaginable crime against those same groups and then call it superiority and then censored k-12 textbooks to cover up white crimes. Currently we whites are e people are the majority of drug dealers and users, serial murderers, Sexual psychopaths, serial rapists, sexual sadists, sexual deviants, Stalkers ,obsession crimes, torture, we lead in incest, child p0rnography, arsonists, spree killers, abduction of children, US terrorism acts, police brutality convictions, hate crimes, mass murder, malpractice suits, convicted politicians but blame every other group out there but ourselves. DV abusers and racists profile have similar profiles as psychopaths and serial killers and these same two groups run the country, so no can’t be angry with the truth being told. Oh c**p! CRT!!

Not really for me. I honestly search out these lists. They make me laugh at my country. If your country makes you happy, it can't be all bad, no matter how much others s*it on it.

Sticks and stones. Sometimes I get a perverse kick out of it.
