A redux of my 50 states thread (this time, with more of a focus on the people that make this country great)

@Evie_Magazine This is a lie. They don’t want to hire attractive white American men because they’re not politically aligned

“Love Story” producers say masculine men are hard to find: “We're not making those guys anymore.” Executive producer Brad Simpson recently shared that casting JFK Jr. “was hard”: “We were three weeks away from shooting and we still [had] not cast him. We'd seen every male actor between the age of 25 and 38. Part of it was just that sort of '80s, old school masculinity — a man with hair on his chest, sort of Richard Gere, Tom Selleck, the classic chiseled looks — we're not making those guys anymore, for some reason, and he really needed to have that.”

@defytheeye1 @whatyyetiagain @ScottMGreer No, he has not

@whatyyetiagain @ScottMGreer Trump has gone left. That's just a fact. He even supports the new FISA extension. He's a globalist traitor.

Three things that are true: 1) The Iran war is unpopular with the majority of Americans, including independents who voted for Trump 2) Trump's core voters, in contrast to the rest of the public, are fine with it. 3) The GOP needs more than MAGA Republicans to win elections.

@ReubenR80027912 Uh, no. The EU is like that, the US is not

This is a great framework. High sincerity is low key*unnerving* for most Americans Some immigrants have trouble in the US b/c our core pathos is a type of “effusive, if insincere, politeness”. We are warm and welcoming but we don’t MEAN it This is diff from LATAM, EU or Asia

@ariosocrat …it’s almost like Europeans vilified and demeaned Americans for decades first.

Even more so than ‘geopolitical rivals and enemies’, they vilify Europeans and other White nations with more vigour than their own enemies in Washington. Mark Levin and Laura Loomer are openly trying to purge them a là McMaster and Kushner in Trump I.

@vrilainy I think Europeans managed to alienate Americans decades ago…

You retards managed to alienate one of the most pro-American Europeans on the app by pushing made-up stories about how Europeans supposedly think.

@ExplodingBoner @eugyppius1 @ScottMGreer What? I care because Americans always took it like losers

@6Merican @eugyppius1 @ScottMGreer "Americans have been outright racially demeaned by Europeans for decades" It doesn't endear them to me, but who cares? Europeans don't need an excuse to mock us anymore than we need one for them. If someone from either continent is acting in bad faith, you can just ignore them.

MAGA accounts on here routinely express more hatred, rejection, and vilification of Europeans than they do of their country’s genuine geopolitical rivals and enemies. It’s amazing but true.

@HywelEmlyn91753 These events have always happened, and you are the idiot

But the USA deniers do not believe in Science and have elected an idiot like them, who is doing his upmost bring Armageddon nearer so they and ourselves can be destroyed. TRUMP = CUNT theguardian.com/us-news/2026/m…

@SteveyC9 @MickOKeeffe Nigeria is in the northern hemisphere…

@MickOKeeffe I think tourists are going to ask for a refund for their trip. They didn't fly to the Northern Hemisphere only to end up in the Southern Hemisphere.

Ireland - St Patrick's Day parade attendees look on in complete confusion as Nigerians dressed in their traditional attire dance through the streets. Look at the crowd on both sides, nobody is clapping or cheering, everyone is wondering why this is happening.

@NotWoofers @MattStark1991 No, he wants you to be allies, which you haven’t been

It’s just incredible. Does it even need saying? Trump wants members of a defensive alliance to join a war he started after spending months causing a crisis in Europe by threatening to forcibly annex the territory of a member state. Now he’s pissed off like a child. Same mental capacity.

@JohnO77929862 @malmesburyman Nah

@6Merican @malmesburyman Yes, French wine is better. I'm not going to argue about cars online because its useless.

Americans were more tolerant of European arrogance when the continent had a reputation for cultured sophistication and industrial capability. Any American who remembers the Europe of 20+ years ago has observed the stark decline. And it’s not just because of migrants crowding around the Eiffel Tower. German cars are crap now. Luxury clothing is made with thinner fabrics & the styling is plebeian. French wine is overpriced relative to its quality. There’s no new high art or really any new major cultural or intellectual production coming out of Europe, and the popular culture is not just Americanized, it’s increasingly Africanized. Meanwhile activists are vandalizing art museums and Crown Jewels are being stolen from the Louvre by subsaharans. And all of this is happening as European governments buy energy from Russia while asking America to fund a proxy war against Russia. And yet we hear from European leaders and media the same tones of arrogance and moral superiority as we did back in 2003. The result of all this is that now rather than evoking feelings of annoyance and even a touch of embarrassment, because of the admiration Americans had toward European culture, Americans are now feeling a growing disrespect and even a certain contempt for Europe. It’s not a healthy dynamic, and I’m not at all praising it, but it is born out of European decline and the mismatch in self-estimation Americans are observing between European attitudes and European reality.

@HowIMineFish @eugyppius1 They can’t because the Amerimutt discourse, which has lasted decades, is simply far more prevalent and pans out in opinion polls that show Europeans have a lower opinion of America than vice-versa

@eugyppius1 This is mainly site dynamics. The algo feeds sharp, punchy engagement (attacks). This means the average Ameribro encounters mostly Euro seething, while the Eurobro encounters mostly Ami dipshittery. Both sides can reliably say they're just responding. /Shrug

@mprey @eugyppius1 The entire modern musical landscape was invented by Americans. Any modern music, ie “popular music”, is American

@eugyppius1 Nothing about what anyone under 30 watches or listens to today is in any way American in the cultural sense, which was my point. American techcos and brands like Coca-Cola and such are considered evil capitalist psyops and people regularly get shit on for liking them

@ExplodingBoner @eugyppius1 @ScottMGreer No, because you can’t equivocate them. Americans have been outright racially demeaned by Europeans for decades. The excuses made for this are the cherry on top of the hypocrisy here

@eugyppius1 @ScottMGreer Ultimately there are obnoxious assholes on both sides of the pond and since there's no changing what they are, it's incumbent upon reasonable Americans and Europeans to ignore them, as much as is possible.

@eugyppius1 No, it absolutely is true. You have zero excuse. The anti-American bigotry from Europe was always legendary. You made your bed, and you don’t like having to lay in it.

inb4 “but you Euros hated us first”: This is not true and most of you have no idea what Euros think about much of anything, you’re engaged with a cartoon fantasy of the continent. The European political class and the American political class share a general contempt for the rabble (ie, us) on both sides of the Atlantic, and there is a classic ‘small country effect’ whereby European nations try to out-moral (i.e., out-shitlib) the Americans, which the American prog left uses to push their agenda in turn. I obviously hate these dynamics and find them retarded but Euros aren’t remotely your enemies.

@JohnO77929862 @malmesburyman No, it’s not

@malmesburyman German cars are still good. Inexpensive French wine is better than California wine at twice the price. I agree with the rest.

@tichoruch @malmesburyman @eugyppius1 That’s retarded and hypocritical. Europeans have always treated Americans as violent, fat, stupid and inferior. They have never treated us as “friends”. Lmao

@malmesburyman Its disingenuous to pretend that @eugyppius1 speaks of attacks on european leaders. The hatred expressed is directed at european peoples in general, including those who would consider themselves friends to the americans.

@elonmusk Everybody inflicts pain on others

Have empathy for the victims, not those who inflict pain on others

On James Gracey A nation is judged by what it tolerates, and by what it refuses to ignore. A young American is dead in Barcelona. That alone should be enough to demand answers. The death of James Gracey cannot be just another headline that fades with the news cycle. We owe him, and we owe his family, the dignity of a full and serious investigation into how he died. Not speculation. Not assumptions. Facts. This is not about alarm. It’s about principle. When an American is harmed abroad, the United States must make it unmistakably clear: we pursue the truth, we demand accountability, and we do not tolerate harm against our own, anywhere. Because if we fail to do that, we are not just failing one family, we are signaling to the world that harming Americans carries no consequence. Rest in Peace. @USembassyMadrid @StateDept @TravelGov

@travolax No, that first image is not…

This isn’t Switzerland or a Costa Rican rainforest. This is Tennessee, USA.

@Mochievous …you showed pictures of trees and parks. Things every “megacity” has

Mexico City is a big plot twist. Most people expect gray mega city vibes but instead it hits you with jacarandas, giant parks, bougainvillea, gorgeous architecture and tree-lined streets. Love it here!
