As a non-American, how is that any different from America?
Many big countries are basically the same, with the belief that their armed forces are “the best”, with hours of pop propaganda around how their marines or special ops are the best in the world.
Well as s non american I feel it’s quite simple : the USA has an incredible potent war machine, so if their citizens think they have an incredible army, then they are more or less quite correct.
Russians on the other hand just smokes copium and have fever dreams.
It’s true for military stuff but false for many many things that they’d still insist is the best way to handle things. Mass shootings is an anomaly that’s completely normalized there, sometimes it’s not even worth a media footnote.
And there’s a strange thing about shooting presidents every once in a while
You’re not wrong. Americans have a lot of “America fuck yeah!” energy going on, the difference really would be that when we break from that mentality and start going “what the fuck America?” we don’t get arrested and put in jail or forcibly conscripted into a war we didn’t ask for.

Continue to smoke your copium.
What about that is copium, mass shootings, having a wide spread poverty and political violence isnt a good thing and should be talked about and fixed
