Before starting, I want to emphasize death to amerikkka amerikkka amerikkka and that this rant does not pertain to genuine European leftist comrades.

Especially on r/shitamericanssay back on reddit-logo (I know there are some very based comrades that participate in the sub), I see a bunch of Europeans shitting on Amerikkka for being the cancerous hellhole that it is. As much as I approve of shitting on this pathetic excuse of a nation, I just can't get across the fact that the vast majority of individuals like that are nothing but a bunch of chauvinistic hypocrites with a chronic superiority complex and an insatiable hate boner that which they conceal by LARPing as leftists.

Thing is, almost every single anti-American eu-cool I meet online range from nothing but a glorified bunch of succdem chauvinists that stroke their hate boners (and PRETEND to "begrudgingly" kiss China's ass) to get off to the fact that they are 10% less shitty than the worst cancer to ever plague mankind at best, to straight up neolibs advocating for Russian genocide shitting on their big daddy Amerikkka for not funding the Ukraine war enough, or to God forbid, the typical Euronazi idiot making fun of the "racially impure Mutts".

Speaking as an American leftist, I know that non-American comrades are fully able to discern me from the idiots of this shithole, respecting me as another fellow comrade. But on the other hand, those hateful, bitter Euro nationalists aforementioned would most likely treat me as a subhuman cancer cell just solely based on the fact that I'm a Yank.

At least, in my personal experience, Y*nkkkoids online don't sugarcoat their shittiness (as they do in real life). They're some of the shittiest people you'll ever meet but at least they're consistent with their shittiness, flaunting their hateful idiocy and fervent anti-communism for the whole world to see. Eurolibshits, on the other hand, pretend to be morally and intellectually superior and enlightened when in reality, they're nothing but another group of bitter, hateful bootlicker morons. If there's one thing I have to agree with other Amerikkkans, it's the fact that most Eurolibs would immediately bend over and start sucking Uncle Sam's dick the moment communism starts winning (as you could see this moment) and their precious imperialist outposts ukkkraine and isntrael are in legitimate danger of losing

Just a rant. Anyways, have a good day comrades.

      My superiority complex over you is based on having a better culture.

      you met like two americans and generalized to the whole population... cool. America sucks, yes, but europe is not fundamentally better. It's dictatorship of the bourgeoisie all the way down and if you delude yourself into thinking it's different... bad things that way lie.

        In hindsight, I feel like the original comment should've struck me as more reactionary than it did.

          You didn't really, you said some vaguely-left-lib talking points about neoliberalism and "inefficiency, corruption, vested interests", and that your gov't was "10%" better.

          If you didn't consider the USA and its people to be fundamentally different and worse than your country, you wouldn't be making this kind of tired hate post over mostly meaningless gripes. You met some shitty americans. Haven't we all?

            But I do so I did.

            The very first thing I said was "I am an anti-American hate account". If you didn’t read my comment no right to reply.

              you could have hated america for better reasons, lord knows there are lifetimes worth of reasons to, but you're just a reactionary instead

      FYI everyone this guy is obviously an Irish millennial who has never really accepted that ireland is part of Europe and that Irish culture was assimilated into hegemonic white anglo culture sometime last century. I'm sure they are privileged enough to have hardly noticed the rise of actual white supremacy on the island in the last decade or so too. our "culture" as it stands is not worth defending. hitler-detector

      people here (like this guy) love to act like racism isn't a problem here and we could never be as racist as the French or the Americans or whatever because we were colonised. but that's nonsense talk coming from a free stater these days and everyone knows it. our country is as rotten and racist as any western EU state at this point.

      Your culture was made out of plastic fifty years ago.

      That's the thing, right? When people say "American culture", what they really mean is essentially "lowest-common-denominator American culture", which is itself a fancy way of saying "whatever the least marginalized Seppo jackass approves of that hasn't (yet) become global culture".

      You absolutely could find hundreds or thousands of years of tradition, mythology, and landscape, as well as quality banter, within the borders of Seppoland, but you would just not find any of that labeled as "American" culture — you could even find culture in Seppoland that is new, yet also decidedly not plastic, but which would again not be labeled as "American" culture. Because the nationality generally pointed to by the term "American" is a colonial identity, anything that goes against colonization is not allowed, and would not allow itself, to be given that label. "American" culture has a prudish, puritan heart in a thick coat of cultural theft and bastardization and fabrication under capitalism, that must, like capitalism itself, continually expand through yet more theft and yet more plastic junk until it cannot sustain itself anymore.

      The amount of things you could call "real" American culture that would remain if you took away all of the theft and junk, would be absolutely negligible, and would not fit together into anything cohesive and comprehensive; on top of this, Seppoland's cultural imperialism, and the inevitable march of technological progress, has left so many originally "American" things as part of essentially "world culture"; and on top of this still, a fair amount of the "real" American culture is just not particularly salvageable given the wretchedness of Seppoland in general.

      All of this has honestly fucked with me as an Anglo-American born and raised and still living in Europe, because while I am treated as an immigrant's child, as I should be... The children of immigrants from other countries actually have those thousands of years of culture to fall back on for an identity, whereas I have fuck all. So I'm basically pushed by everyone around me to identify with a nationality without any real substance, like an ethnic null pointer error — and I've spent my life basically trying to figure out how exactly to make that work, for better and for worse. This is actually a big part of why I am so opposed to Seppoland's cultural imperialism, and admire your work a lot, albeit critically.

      Edit: To be specific I think you are often poor on racial issues, that you tend to be opinionated and over-extrapolate from your own very limited perspective in a very unhelpful way. So it would do you a lot of good to be more inquisitive about racism in both Europe and Seppoland.

      Edit 2: This thread has made me think considerably less of you and your potential for growth. Perhaps I should ask Hexbear to set up its own version of NoYank.

        Do you mean because whites have been there for thousands of years or do you mean that the cultural genocide by Anglo-America is completed?

          cultural genocide by the Brits followed by attained whiteness by the Irish people. true irish or celtic culture is more or less dead and buried, attained whiteness was the nail in the coffin. not trying to be like boohoo this privilege sucks or anything but that destruction is a tragedy. for a time we held a unique position in the racial hierarchy of the empire - mainly treated like a colony all the way up to early 20th century but on the other hand - for one example - we were never subject to conscription resulting in mass death like the African colonies of the time. but we were also not (yet) a white dominion like Australia or Canada who were permitted to sort out the conscription issue themselves.

            It's interesting that you advocate for that. I suppose it shows how material benefits are the most important base.

            My culture is getting americanized a lot and I hate it and resist it.

            But we're not white so we're not getting "attained whiteness" as you call it.
