Traveling outside the US is something that the govt doesn't really want us to do, and they're making it harder for people to do just that...
Expose the fraudulent I say... Hats off to those that do!!!
i think the main reason being the goverment wants you spend the $$ you made in your own country instead of spending it somewhere else and making that country some money. another reason is they probably want you to think only in america, as if there are no other places in the world where you can live peacefully and safe.
looking at americans in general most of them do think they are living int he greatest country in the world (always comparing it to dictator regimes and 3rd world countries, ofcourse its better to live in the US). for me its just a nice place with not soo many nice people who believe everything they are fed by the government and mass media.
i think by now everybody knows im not too big on americans in general. americans in general generalize so i tend to generalize americans all the same. but i think anybody smart enough knows that not everybody is the same, and even in america there are good, educated people that arent just sheep. problem is the majority doesnt fall in this category. /rant.
Hey as a North American myself I understand the sentiment I mean I make all these videos like "How to counter Stereotypical North American Ignorance about KOF" and all this other stuff because
bottom line is most of the ignorance and misguided fanboyism as well as spoiled sense of entitlement and lack of work ethic comes from North America.I've gotten it down to a tee pretty much, 90% of the time I get people running their mouths on my youtube channel, I can pretty much put a safe bet they are:
1. From the USA
2. Don't know how to play KOF at a high level remotely (and I say remotely I mean can't even hang with the tops in the USA)
3. Probably think KOF is a ripoff of SF
4. Are Japanese fanboys
5. Don't travel at all
6. Are both egocentric and ethnocentric and think everyone thinks like they do in the USA OR JAPAN (meaning plays the games the USA or Japan plays, says KOF 2002 is a dead game, when its not dead in Latin America by far and away, all comments of this type just show how ignorant a lot of people in the USA are!)
I've shut up a lot of those types by simply identifying who they are describing them, it's a shame but it's a sad stereotype that many around the world are seeing in regards to North America.
Everyone knows this is and it just makes the USA look very bad, people acting arrogant, being very superficial and materialistic and thinking "everyone thinks like them", so trust me I understand.
It's these people that live in a bubble and refuse to get out of it that make all North Americans (PC term because if you are saying Americans of course technically you are talking from the USA all the way down to Chile) look bad, they are free to believe as they wish, but some of them should for the benefit of all North Americans just keep their opinions to themselves because they expose the total ignorance that North America has to many things (in addition to exposing hints of racism), and how they've been blinded by the media..
