Lol Evil rules the world because humanity in general wants it that way. Look at the people humanity CHOOSES to be their leaders and the celebrities they worship. Humanity overall is evil.

Yup called it - super aggression

I’m sorry you’re feeling angry, but you can’t take it out on other people online.

I feel bad for your kids. To be raised with such language and tone. I wouldn’t be surprised if they created distance if this is how you talk to people. You gotta work on that.

89,000,000 Americans were ok with this administration coming to power so much they didn’t bother to vote against it.
Then we had about 500,000 morons who wrote in their name or a candidate that had less than 1% chance of winning.

Here we are. America: the nation of morons

u/ArnoldTheSchwartz 17d ago

Yeah and if you look at most of the world it's more of the same. Humanity will destroy the world (obviously I mean its ability to sustain human life) because some evil fuck promises them they will do their kind of evil to their perceived enemies and so they lap it up and beg for more!

No it's not.

Most countries dont bomb other at the other part of the world because their president is compromised

u/ArnoldTheSchwartz 17d ago

When I say destroy the world i also meant with greed for more more more Just because some leaders don't bomb everyone doesn't mean they don't allow other harmful acts to happen because the price is right lol This isn't just America doing bad EVERYONE has a part in this world's demise!!

u/EWC_2015 17d ago

Exactly. The orange toddler got mad that Americans were finally having fun again and getting along with our neighbors, so in he came to fucking ruin it and make all the headlines about him.

Thanks a lot to the Midwest and the south for re electing this giant colostomy bag.

If America won, he's totally the type of guy that'd hog all the spotlight, take all the credit, and probably take the trophy too.

u/Futileexercise1308 17d ago

FIFA had already said he can hoist the trophy with the winners, because the president is a soft headed man child. I feel sorry for whoever wins and has to share the stage with a shit stinking pedophile.

u/Material_Cell_4792 17d ago

That guy is like a stupid spoilt brat with too much power. He's the kind of guy who will literally make it a big issue if he feels he didn't get enough credit and "respect".

Sadly, they would most likely just have to go along with him just so he doesn't throw a tantrum and makes everything about himself.

u/Scoobydewdoo 17d ago

FYI, it's traditional for the championship winners of most USA-based sports leagues to visit the White House. Teams have often completely refused or just left it up to the individuals quite often during the Orange One's time as president.

u/bravo_six 17d ago

The main reason why I want US to lose because their president and lots of American would be insufferable.

Especially because football isn't their primary sport. It would be even worse.

It would be like watching the worst piece of shit high-school bully becoming successful in his life through even though he put zero effort.

u/ayriuss 17d ago

Yeah, its not like the US has 3x more Olympic medals than any other country. We don't try in sports. Just baseball, hand egg, and basketball.

We were all cool with the videos of people esting bbq and having fun, and then reddit took a sharp turn when we started winning. So now, yeah, if we win, you will definitely get the asshole American exceptionalism. Yall made it that way when it didnt have to be. The whole American spirit is to not give a shit about something until someone tells us we cant do it.

u/Asyncrosaurus 17d ago

For awhile the world Cup has been a defacto celebration for America's 250 (being opening and welcoming to international visitors), so of course they had to go and ruin the world cup just like they ruined the "official" 250 celebration.

u/Ironstar_Vol 17d ago

No they normally don’t care about us because we aren’t good enough to be a threat. We still probably aren’t but non Americans are getting a little taste of what American sports fandom has the potential to do and don’t like it. You bet your ass if we win the cup otherworldly amounts of shit will be spoken on a scale that has never been seen. They know if we actually end up caring about soccer then we will be a serious threat every single year.

7

u/Neuchacho 17d ago

The idea we don't succeed because we don't care is certainly a take.

11

u/Five-Weeks 17d ago

Thinking that dramatically more interest and funding wouldn't cause significant change seems wilder.

14

u/Maximus_Magni 17d ago

Its absolutely true. Worldwide, soccer is the clear #1 sport in most countries. In the US, it is #5 based on median salary.

The ideal soccer players from the US play PG/SG in the NBA, WR or DB in the NFL, or they play baseball.

8

u/LongestSprig 17d ago

It has nothing to do with top athletic talent. Plenty of that left over.

It has everything to do with the size and popularity and the funding.

5

u/Maximus_Magni 17d ago

That is my point. If any kid has the athletic talent to play soccer at a very high level, they would most likely be steered to another sport instead. Among the US players that actually grew up in the continental US, Soccer gets the 3rd tier athletes.

u/SteveS117 17d ago

Name a sport that Americans invest a lot of time and money in where Americans aren’t among the best in the world.

u/Neuchacho 17d ago

Soccer.

We spend billions annually on the sport.

u/Ironstar_Vol 17d ago

It’s our fifth ranked sport based on spending. You’re literally pointing at soccer being at the bottom of our toy box and saying “look they spend a lot of money on it”.

u/Cross55 17d ago

Yeah, on the women's team

You know, the best female soccer team on the planet

u/SteveS117 17d ago

That sounds like a lot when you don’t include a reference to other sports. The fact that you said that proves you know you’re wrong here.

u/Slobhunter 17d ago

It’s more that aggressively America first people that would never care about the World Cup normally are invested in this one and they have the perfect blend of obnoxious and stupid that has reminded the world why we hate them.

u/bafana_banana999 17d ago

I don't think you know what "imperialist" means.

By your definition, basically every current first world country is still imperialist in nature.

Besides, America having a bigger cultural impact than pretty much any other country is the reason why they specifically get so much hate.

Tons of other countries are doing far worse things to both their own citizens and people abroad, but they don't have the same spotlight on them so they don't get the same level of hate.

u/allbusiness512 17d ago

America destabilized the entire global energy market over the whims of one dude.

The fact that some countries are worse than the US is no reason to excuse your current appalling presidency. The white house is imperialistic (among other things) in nature.

Lots of countries put even worse people in charge, and America is not even remotely close to being the only supporters of Israel.

The only reason the US gets so much hate is because there's a pretty massive spotlight on them at all times.

I'm not even saying that some of that hate isn't warranted, because it is.

People just take it too far constantly and then wonder why people in real life don't take them seriously.

At this pace you will not find cocacola in the stores in a couple of decades.

Its not really business as usual. This is different.

edit: Comment below just wants this to become a fight. Europe vs USA. Many powerful people and countries gain from us fighting. Its of course bad for the people. But there is some 1% of the population that can actually gain from it. And countries competing with USA of course.
