True I fucking hate how the US wants to be buddy buddy with us when they're actually fucking us over. I mean we have some of their worst traits here (especially one of them being the lobbying of a certain US "ally" influencing public opinion on it so that it's always seen as a good guy and a victim).
I just wish we could get rid of all of that and just let us be us.
I despise American culture but I'm not really aware of how they're fucking us over? (... but I may be naive to that I guess).
The NSA has been spying on German officials, the US government poured hundreds of billions of dollars on the F-35 project to stymie everyone else's domestic fighter programs, aggressively subsidizes American agriculture for export, and may arbitrarily institute aggressive tariffs that harm the economies of its allies.
