    The image of the US drastically changes depending on where in the country you are. There are some beautiful forests, mountains, and wild spaces (unfortunately rapidly dwindling and defunded). There are dying rural and suburban areas with more pawn shops, payday loan, and bail bond places than grocery stores and fast food places. Some areas in big cities can be that clean and corporate, but usually it doesn’t take more than 3 blocks away before you get into some rougher areas.

    And as horrible as ICE and the other bullshit going on are, nowhere in the US is bombed out yet.

    That is a very well curated picture of the USA. Based on my personal experience the average is WAY worse than that

    In the picture America looks pretty awesome but the place they are visiting “you” looks pretty bad in comparison.

    Seems like the theme is that America is pretty great and other places are not. Maybe it’s because America keeps destroying these places? Not sure

      Tourists spending their money and immigrants sending money home. Wow. I’m impressed. Surely everyone will feel grateful towards American corporations and government for fucking up the planet when they see this. Thank you for showing us the light.

      First of all, it’s not an anti american sentiment. It’s an anti-US sentiment. America is a fucking continent full of cool countries. We only hate the US so stop considering yourselves the center of the world you egomaniac self-centered cunts.

      Second, surprisingly, we don’t just hate the US, there’s also room for hating Russia, China and even the nazi country of USrael. Don’t worry, you are not that unique, your country is just another shithole deserving hate, but not “the one and only”.

        No no, I’m quite sure the meme specified America. This is anti-Peru sentiment as much as the rest of the Americas.

        Sorry, thems the breaks. ¯\(ツ)

      Do you really think other countries should be grateful some of their people come here and send money back home after we fucked up their country by funding/arming right-wing terrorists so badly its better to abandon their homes and accept a sub-standard wage in a foreign country?
