More like we broke a nail, Europe and most of SE Asia is in our pocket, and the enemies we do have have been our enemies since before the fall of the USSR.
China has a lot of problems and their ascendance is by no means as guaranteed as they make it out to be. Chinese also don't know how to do empire, they alienate all their neighbors.

America is in equal parts horrifying as it is awesome. Also, you're fat as gently caress and like guns way too much. And that shows. Most of your populace is dumb as gently caress too, and idiots + guns dont really mesh well. On the other hand, the best of you have contributed a poo poo TON to the technology and science being done in the world. For that you have my sincere thanks.

I think Gypsum's point is that these are precisely the boring questions on display in the 'What's it like being British?' thread. Perhaps if we upped our games a bit we could have some real discourse along the line of 'why cucumber sandwiches? and 'wtf, you put cheddar cheese on your apple pie?'

I rarely have a point but i guess if i had to have one here ITT its more of a reaction to all the sweeping generalisations made towards other races/countries of late and to see if Americans can take a dose of their own medicine. Anyway i think America and Americans are pretty cool on the whole, we do weird poo poo the world doesn't understand same as you guys and its fun to joke about but that doesn't make our whole countries scumlords. Peace. And until the next time, take care of yourselves. And each other.

I guess Americans kind of like to talk poo poo about British because they're like the only country that can match us in terms of atrocities and they're pretty much whitebread so it isn't too offensive.

Sometimes I wonder what it's like being European but then I remeber I watched my grandfather slowly lose touch with reality through dementia while still aggressively insisting everyone should be waiting on him all the time and taking his opinion seriously like the old days and I figure that's close enough.

to understand what being an american is actually like, you need to find the state of mind where you read this quote and get violently mad at you for being such a flagrant homo online (no offense intended just trying to get an accurate description across.. they say that the common language is an obstacle or something

What's it like being American in a nutshell:

If you're not white it sucks.

If you're not white and poor it really sucks.

If you're not white but rich it kind of sucks.

If you're not white but famous and rich it's ok.

If you're white but poor it kind of sucks.

If you're white but middle class it sucks less than the above two.

If you're white and rich it's awesome.

If you're white but famous and rich it's the best country ever.

if you're an upper middle class suburban white person you basically run the country as a dictatorship of the petite bourgeoisie and throw a screaming temper tantrum whenever you have to negotiate or compromise even a tiny bit with people who aren't you. if you're not an upper middle class white person then yeah it's poo poo
