As a Dane, I cannot underline enough how fucking done we are with the US.
I’m almost grateful that he’s being this obnoxious, because it means that we might have way less American influence in Denmark in the future and that is something I have yearned for since Bush.
… that is something I have yearned for since Bush.
You are a real one, and I appreciate you. As an American, I’m so sorry; we deserve your ire and those of us who are capable of the embarrassment are drowning in it, and doing our part for a future where we do not fuck with your lives again, even though that future is happening already. Dream on, please.
If it is any comfort to you, most of us know that the people of America are largely decent and just want to live their lives and not bother anybody. My main issue with America has always been with the country and the culture, not really individual people. It would be foolish to hate on millions of people who have harmed nobody and just happened to be born somewhere.
In essence, my biggest gripe with America has always been on the pathetic excuse of a welfare system you guys have. You all deserve so much better and it pisses me off that you’re being taught to eat crow and not only like it, but express gratitude and pride for it. Many of you are smart enough to see through the bullshit, but all of you are stuck living in one of the richest countries in the world while having third world social conditions. I cannot express in words how disgusted I am by that.
As for all the geopolitical and media stuff, those are institutions I feel disgust towards.
I hope that no matter what happens in the future, that you and your fellow Americans will have better conditions to live under and better, more responsible leadership.
I am, however, still glad that my country as well as most other European countries are moving away from the USA. It was not an equal and fair relationship in many ways and both sides have been at fault to some degree. I think we are better off separate and I think that the US as a whole is also interested in this separation to look for new alliances. I for one, am thrilled about Europe’s future, even though this transition period is going to be tough. We will be stronger in the long run without the US.
I’m in agreement, and I appreciate that. You do have some permission to blame Americans too though; a little more than half of popular vote did go to Trump after all lol
Yeah, and in my weakest moments of anger this January, I certainly had some not so nice thoughts in that area, but honestly, I don’t think most of the people who voted for trump understood or expected him to be this crazy. Hell, I was fully preparing for him to pull out of Ukraine, which I thought was the worst thing he could do at the time, but with the Ukraine issue alone, the way he treated Zelenskyj actually pissed me off more than when he threatened Greenland for the first time. Anyways, I expected him to betray Ukraine, but he has done so much more than that in a fraction of the time I thought was possible. I couldn’t even in my most anti-American thoughts, have predicted or imagined the reality we currently live in.
So yeah, I’m willing to give many of his voters the benefit of the doubt. They probably believed he would help with inflation and secure jobs and yadda yadda. They probably truly believed he would be the better choice even if they didn’t agree with him on everything or just didn’t want to vote for the democrats or whatever. I imagine many have bitter regrets now. Especially the farmers who supported him, lol. But yeah. I try to extend an olive branch because this timeline is a total clown show.
Things will get better, though! We just need to strap in for the next couple of years, and then things are going to get better. It’ll probably take America decades to repair what trump has destroyed in less than two years, but am confident that something good will come from this nightmare for Americans as well. Big hugs!
Yeah, I guess I should have explained myself better, that my issue is that I have felt for a long time that my culture has increasingly been replaced with American culture due to the import of American entertainment. So our language has been altered and we have adopted American traditions while slowly phasing out our own and it has bothered me for a very long time. That isn’t Americans’ fault that we began adopting these cultural things, but if we end up separating ourselves more from America, then my hope is that we will also maybe start looking for cultural influence elsewhere and start embracing more of our own old traditions again.
most of us know that the people of America are largely decent and just want to live their lives and not bother anybody
We’re not, most of us are total pieces of shit who specifically voted for trump because they have their own scam going. But yeah maybe 25% of us are just honest working people and we’ll be looking for landing places when everything goes to shit here.
A lot of things are going on in Denmark right now to move away from American influence. You just don’t hear about it. I think we should officially condemn the US as well as Iran, but I’m not a politician. All I know is what I see in my day to day life and the general discourse in Denmark and that is that we are moving away from America. Actions taken in recent times have shown that we are ready to sever ties with America, we just do it slowly as to not upset the orange monkey, because if we go out and make ourselves too visible to America right now, there is a actual real chance that we will be invaded too.
I trust that my politicians know what they are doing, though.
Remember, we are a very small country and we are under real threat of a US invasion so there is a lot going on behind the scenes right now that most of us don’t know about.
The thing with Bush was that a large number of people here in EU despised him and was sick of the US’s continual involvement in international affairs. There were protests when he visited, and a big movement opposed him wherever he went. That lasted until 9/11, at which point US became the big victim, and all critics went silent.
That’s not how it went where I lived. People were actively protesting the Iraq war in the streets in my country and very vocal about our involvement in those wars. We are also the country that lost the most soldiers per capita to fight a war that didn’t have anything to do with us because America demanded it.
Which is also why it was a deep insult when Trump and Vance decided to attack Zelenskyj for the world to see, then subsequently threaten my country to give up Greenland and calling us shitty allies and starting a tariff war with Europe as a whole. We literally bled for them and gave up our dignity for them - it was a massive hit to the Danish self image to join the wars in the middle east - and the thank you we get is to be pissed on and for them to shit on Zelenskyj, piss on the rest of us and threaten to annex Greenland.
My distaste for America’s entitlement and arrogant tactics that we had to adhere to for years with the promise that they would help us if we needed them, was turned into a raging fire the second trump and vance did that to Zelenskyj. Every other thing that happened after that has just kept that fire alive, but I lost any and all respect for America when they invited Zelenskyj to the White House to act like a couple of high-school bullies.
Yes, there were some protests around that. I’m talking about the time leading up to that; it was as if you couldn’t criticize USA because we all had to “stick together in a time of crisis” (this was more or less verbatim what our politicians said here in Sweden).
(I do agree about the Zelensky treatment, though. Fuck Vance and his cohort all the way to hell and back.)
I built a really sophisticated AI that can autonomously learn and create new patterns by itself.
It’s created over 40,000 new cyber threats that have never existed before. Same program can look at climate change, financial markets, biology,… anything I want really.
Im trying to get this tech out of the US because im too poor. I want it under the protection of a better government, and I want to renounce my US citizenship.
Best of all - it uses zero data centers to do all this. No chat bots. No LLM nonsense. I thought ethical AI meant that it shouldn’t poison the earth or its people.

Culturally we are actually pretty nice, it’s the meta-culture propagated and controlled by billionaires that’s the problem

Your politicians didn’t get that memo, as they condemned Iran.
Only Spain condemned the US.

The best thing about this comment is how relevant it is!
I believe you!
Uh huh
