🤔 I once called a pothole a 'Colombian speedbump' and my local relatives could not appreciate it. QED
Laughing about yourself (or your own country) is sadly not a skill everyone possesses. People who can are the best :D

All/hot is exactly like this but the complete opposite
Americans (and Canadians, we're not above this problem): "I hate our government! They lie about everything and have no regard for human rights or even basic integrety! But also I uncritically believe everything they say about other countries that they already hate and have a massive political and economic incentive to smear because their governments are obviously way worse, I know that because my government told me so."

Where's the bit about Americans making fun of America and talking shit about it?
As long as your country has no oil, you can insult them without fear of retribution
Eh, not my impression at all
I call BS. I feel it's more popular than ever to dunk on the US. Like, there's still a sect of 'MURICAN PATURYOTS that get big mad, but most of us are well aware of reality.
This is just more us versus them. Distraction
Look at you trying to stir the pot. How cute. <3
