How much do you trust your fellow countrymen?

[Agape93]

I trust them 100%

I trust them 75%

I trust them 50%

I trust them 25%

I don’t trust them at all

[JimRSmith]

Good question.

Seeing that some of them have committed terrorist offences against their fellow citizens, those are out, so it has to be less than 100%.

Then there are those who have behaved like idiots during the pandemic, so they can't really be trusted, either.

I'm sure I could make quite a long list, if I sat down, and thought about this, but that would take a long, long time.

I'm going to say about 90% + are trustworthy, and about 10% not trustworthy.

[BestUserName100]

0 percent. For one thing I don't know any. And 2 I don't really trust anybody and am use to getting fucked over by other people. There's people in both sides I'd probably like tho and dislike to. You can't blame them all for it. For the ones you might not like. I don't really have anything against them and don't really view them as bad or anything.

[jennifer_bloom]

When I was at my job - I trusted my co workers to be honest cause almost all of them were willing to say things that made them look bad if it was what they actually believed but even though I trusted them to be frank about their thoughts and feelings - I did not trust them to make correct judgment about things - I would say less than 2% never made errors in judgment when they were evaluating and looking at things.

[GnarCute]

im from japan its a 50/50 thing there.

ww2 happened yeah we bombed pearl harbor off the belief that we would intimidate one of the most powerful military's in the world at that current time to stay out of our way?

we some mad lads

[TheEagle_000]

What were you guys thinking lol

[GnarCute]

@TheEagle_000 we weren't? our leader at the time literally refused to believe the first bomb wiped out an entire city, just to say its horrible the USA did that but they did give us ample warning and chances.

They told us to back down we said no, they dropped the first bomb

They told us to back down again, our people literally begged our leader

The leader refused. They dropped the second bomb.

[TheEagle_000]

Usa will suffer the same fate don't worry.

[GnarCute]

@TheEagle_000 why would i want that? i will worry i love the USA? fuck i hate that

[lucas262]

We're Americans cards on table chips down we will do what we have always done unite for a good reason or a bad 1 sometimes against each other but us vs any one is a loss for them. British guy once said what he liked about Americans is how every one waves the flag, the flag is everywhere not so in Britain where patriotism is seen as culturally offensive to some.

Here no one should be ashamed to say I am an American im not a black or white or Asian or russian etc American just an American.

And the American experiment is about people. Of all kinds from all over coming together to live in freedom and be free to prosper anything done outside of that was by people who don't hold to the idea of what we are so yea i do trust my countrymen when it comes down to it.

[andreasderjuengere]

I can only trust specific persons for specific reasons.
Their nationality is of no point to me (although certain nationalities give more reason to generally be cautious about them)
My basic tendency is to rather not trust - and wait for positive surprises.

[loveslongnails]

I'm not sure what topic I'm trusting them on, or not. I trust that during any crisis, there will be a certain percentage of folks who take advantage of it, and others who try to help it. I trust that at least 60% of the people I meet are uninformed in general and ignorant about the subjects which they voice their opinion about the loudest. I also trust that some good folks will always go above and beyond to help others.

[theCobbler]

Why I dont trust my countrymen. . because they all will throw you under the bus and not give it a second thought ie: to get ahead at work or job, to point the finger first to take any blame off themselves. & fo rd the good old thing we Call... "GREED " !

[longlicker6969]

As Agent K said, "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals..." I trust some individuals implicitly, but I don't trust large groups of people at all. Have you ever seen the outside of a Trump rally?

[Levin]

English people can be nice when pushed, but they require that push!

We're defined more individualistic and self orientated than most cultures. However, on the whole, I'd say we're well intentioned and probably less sinister than many places!

[Waffles731]

It's weird that you describe England as Individualistic.

Like to an American, the only place in the western world that seems as Individualistic as The U. S is Australia

[purplepoppy]

It tends to be people from certain towns I don't trust rather than my countrymen.

[Waffles731]

In the U. S it's like that with certain states, the deep south for example is full of fucking lunatics

[Waffles731]

It depends on the state, someone from say Mississippi I don't trust at all because they have shown themselves to be fucking lunatics but say someone from Maine or from round here I trust a lot more

[supercutebutt]

I guess 50%. Half of the country (actually a little less) are Trumptards. That's a scary thought!

[worldscolide]

People that are close friends? I trust implicitly, Anyone else i trust to the end of the barrel of my guns..

[Ericalovescats]

Sometimes I trust them sometimes I don't it's really a shot in the dark.

[LoU_Hades]

Being gullible isn't socially acceptable by my countrymen

[woodyisready]

I trust my countrymen about as far as I can throw them, unless I'm on the front line with a a r15. With a hundred round clip

[Kathy_Scorpio97]

Um 10% that’s high I think people are self destructive.

[Liadon]

I trust people more on the individual level than the collective.

[archiz]

A big 0 %%
Those last 2 generations ruined the country.
My STUPID generation included

[WowwGirl]

I just wanted to make you laugh

[Liam_Hayden]

I trust everyone... to act according to his or her best interests.

[captain_voidwalker]

Most of my countrymen are trying to vote us into a communist shit hole soooooo yeah fuck em

[bklynbadboy1]

I mean I trust him to an extent they don't know me said and I'm gonna go out of their way for me
