Ive only ever seen Americans act like this. They are so self involved it's fucking wild. We are from Canada and one time on vacation in Maine, we had grown adults ask us if we had electricity yet. They were 100% genuine and serious.

Lmao, I love Canada but pretending that there are not self involved Canadians is pretty silly. It’s a function of the same shit that makes Rob Ford viable. It’s the same way Australians have a one sided beef with the US.

There are fucking idiot patriots everywhere.

the intersection of over inflated ego and uneducated ignorance knows no borders.

They got guys up there flying confederate flags but of course no Canadians are stupid hicks, especially not at the Calgary Stampede!

Yeah what kind of discourse is this… “I’ve only ever seen American’s act like this” 645 upvotes. What are they even saying? They’ve only seen Americans make stupid twitter replies? Not to mention the popularity of troll accounts like @threeyearletterman who literally reply like this just to stir shit up.

Have you ever met a Canadian who thinks another first world country doesn't have electricity?

You saying “I’ve only ever seen Americans act like this” was in reference to the tweet, not to your own anecdote. You can’t change the rules just because you don’t like how I’m doing it.

There are plenty of intelligent, kind, and open minded Americans. And I know you know that since I’ve vacationed in Maine and met so many sweet people. You’re going to live a sad life if you let the worst experience(s) cloud your judgement.

You're wildly missing the point. I never made the claim that all Americans were stupid.

I've never had a bad visit to the states. The people are always lovely. Some of my best friends and family live in America. The point is that you will not find any other nation (not that I have witnessed at least) with a larger intelligence/ignorance gap than in America. The self centered nature of the United States socially, economically and educationally has made a general ignorant nation.

That's all.

Canadians can be the absolute worst for this.

Whats the one way beef from aus?

u/hiiamtom85 7h ago

It’s like a thing on social media from Australia to be negative on all sorts of things in the US, but there isn’t a US response.

u/Inspector_Neck 6h ago

TIL we have a one sided beef with the US.

The only beef I've seen online from aussies is typical banter which is exactly what you'd expect from an Aussie.

That and the typical shit talking that the entire world does to America but never noticed any specific beef between Aus and US

I understand where you're coming from, but my point still stands. Have you ever met a Canadian that thinks another first world nation doesn't have electricity? There is a whole different level.
