As someone who travels a lot of countries (not the US) and got to realize that the media gives us false views on countries be it directly or indirectly, good or bad.
I’m curious to know about America from someone born and raised there.
thank you
We are advertised as "the land of the free and greatestexample of democracy" but it's more "the land of the limited freedom, ruled by corporations, in a pseudo-emperialism like economy, filled with racists and cult minded individuals, who can't handle inconveniences, entitled, and honestly middle school mentality." Sure we have our kind people here, but compared to the whole population, it's small. USA has reached the point of extreme capitalism, where it is destroying the government and the economy, due to corporate greed and manipulation. USA gives the illusion of voting choice, when it comes down to it, it's 50 rich politicians who actually vote. There are other parties, but the 2 party system manipulates the voting process and uses disgusting tactic to prevent 3rd party politicians from actually running. The USA needs a major overhaul, switching out older politicians with no understanding of what the working class is like nowadays, put permanent limitations on corperations limiting them from having constant record high profits, to 3 per year to prevent artificial inflation. Rejection of corporate donations to politicians. And forcing politicians to take gun classes to understand how guns work and the current laws in place for them. Force politicians to interact with the lowest of their communities. Many things need to be put in place.
I dont really know what the myths are but I often think of the US as a nation of crackheads. We busy ourselves with such inane tasks and even get violent over some of them. This is because our money has all been stolen by billionaires and they used it to prop up addictive media platforms to keep us in constant pursuit of the next thing to make us laugh or make us mad, instead of getting our money back.
If you visit the US and it's your first time doing so, it might be a little like walking into a room you have never noticed before and in it you discover a truly baffling scene in which there is an empty platter, people are fighting with violence over who might have taken the cake that used to be there, yelling in each other's face that they look hungry and that they did nothing to earn it, threatening to eject each other from the room.. meanwhile an enormous man with cake crumbs in his beard is sitting in the middle of a few well fed people who are goading everyone on with things like "did you hear what he just said about your mother?" Or "he wants men to share a locker room with your daughter" or "he called you a racist for stating the fact that black people have a lower median income." And so on..
We are a country of lunatics now. We have people on the far right worshipping a fat rapist who wants to be dictator and people on the far left praising Hamas. The people in the middle are looking to move someplace else while the extremists send each other home to Satan in the civil war they crave.

There are mostly two halves to American society and they strongly hate each other.
Democrats are very prejudice and hate Whites (especially straight White men), hate Jews, Christians, and support drugs, and pushing the trans agenda onto kids in elementary school and up. 67% of women in the USA vote Democrat, so they greatly contributed to the bad condition the country is in right now.
The MJAORITY of women here are promiscuous and immoral and that is the main factor why close to 45% of them are going to be single and childless by 2030.
A small amount of men here are pathetic and give money to online prostitutes (only fans, cam girls, etc.) and that gets many women to think it is acceptable behavior and wander why after ruining themselves forever, why they can never get a good quality man.
This is the easiest time in our history for foreign women to get an American mate due to the gender divide in the USA, and all they need to do is not be fat, be moderately attractive or better (5 + in looks for her face) be fair and loyal to the man, and have a peaceful home.
The courts are very unfair to men and sexist.
There are more than twice as many guns legally owned in the USA than there are people, but not everyone has one. One in 4 Americans actually have 1 or more guns, often it is either only 1, or it is more than 5 guns in a home. Gun violence isn't nearly as bad as the media claims. Many of the deaths by guns are defensive use of a firearm (far more than deaths from criminal use of a firearm), plus many of the recorded gun deaths are actually suicides.
Many schools focus on math and English language arts, while mostly ignoring history, science, and physical education. That is because math and ELA are the nation wide tests that are used to compare school performances. California has one of the worst k-12 test results in the country. they were ranked 47, and now they are ranked 42.
Mainstream news is part of the propaganda machine to manipulate the population. Basically we are a corporatocracy. Our politicians are bought and paid for. They make problems to keep us fighting so we focus on that instead of fixing the governments abuse of power. Life varies a lot depending on where you live in America. We are the 4th largest country so traveling to different areas may seem foreign other than we share currency and language. Most of the population is ignorant to what is going on and fall for the trappings of the division sowed by the government.
The media makes it sounds like the streets are packed with gun toting maniacs everywhere all the time. Not even close. You’ll probably never see a gun here unless you go looking for them. The statistics are deliberately misrepresented and the vast majority of gun owners are responsible, law abiding citizens.
The United States was once I respectable country. But it's almost unrecognizable now from what it used to be. With all the gas lighting and race baiting from the government and the media it's like they want to tear down the country and they're doing a good job of it. Everything's offensive. Like Cleveland Indians baseball was offensive in Washington Redskins football was offensive. I wouldn't recommend coming here
About the US...
Truth... There are actually 46 states and 4 commonwealths, a total of 50, not 51 as some politicians say in speeches
Myth... President Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves with the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. That only declared slaves free in the rebel states of the Confederacy, which actually had no effect because the CSA was a separate country. The 13th Amendment to the US Constitution in 1865, two years later, is what freed slaves in the entire country.
That everyone is always killing each other with guns.
That only happens in the downtrodden areas in cities. It rarely happens anywhere else even. Even when you account for mass shootings, they often if not always take place in areas with strong gun control measures.
People who are unable to defend themselves are easy targets and gun control only disarms law abiding citizens.
Also the majority of gun deaths are suicides.
news companies cherry pick gun violence, to mislead people it is a big problem but relative to size and population u. s. is not even in the top ten compared to east Europe gun crimes.
Truths: we're fat. We love guns as much as anything. We think everyone should conform to us. We think the two-party system actually works. Most of us only speak English and expect everyone else to as well. We love chain restaurants and eat huge portions.
Myth: we're all rednecks that speak with southern accents, drive gas-guzzling pick-ups, wear cowboy hats, and listen to country music.
Boy have I got a sizzling little fact for YOU!
That's it. That's the fact. Thanks for coming to my TeD Talk.
America is the third largest country by area and population. Lifestyle and culture differs broadly from one location to the next.
Put it this way. The U. S. is great enough that the hating posters below can spew how much they hate this country and certain types of people in this country, and not fear a federal knock at the door.
What type of things do you want to know, more of the norms of culture or what?
The news media here is utter nonsense and not to be believed, but otherwise the US is filled with good people.
Majority of Australia looks like suburbia in UK, USA, or Canada. Suburbia :) 🏠🏡🏠🏡 🏙️🌆🏙️🌆
EVERTHING you think you know about the USA, is probably wrong. End of discussion.
We live in a gynocentric social order - truth
Men are more privileged than women - myth
That’s too vague of a question to answer tbh.
I guess if I had to summarize we’re all just people with our differences.
The culture isn’t really defined
Guns are a problem- myth
Government is corrupt-true
I could or you could read Howard Zinn’s “A People’s History of the US” and be a fucking adult.
