Also when I was teaching in South Korea, Canadians were considered the worst tourists/ex-pats so i don't know how much it would help anyways.

Yeah, scanning back I directed that to the wrong person / post It seems like a lot of people in BlueSky are talking about people saying US travellers will be hated, or saying they won't, which to me is just such an odd focus

american anti-britishness is mostly overstated. Like the queen's funeral was on every tv station here, for some reason. And french is just a dumb post-war meme that people repeat to try to sound savvy about war or whatever. It's a history channel uncle thing.

I was in Zimbabwe with a couple of friends and this guy attached himself to us at the hotel bar and followed us around town. We kept wondering what he wanted from us. Turns out he just wanted to hang with some Americans and he was totally cool and fun.

This makes most convos w/US expats go like this: "The US shouldn't do X." "I agree." See for example the IRA during the Troubles. UK was a close ally of the US and got lots of gov support. Meanwhile, US citizens were sending cash and arms to Ireland bc fuck the redcoats.

For those who haven't been there, American culture is just massive, like the whole US classic car and rockabilly sub culture in Sweden. That's incredible cultural soft power. And to throw it away because of an incontinent pedophile battling senility is just...

It's that perpetually fearful brain worm that infests these dudes' brains. Gotta be strong because everything, everyone, every change is out to get you. It's disgusting the way the fear and panic button has been mashed in mainstream media for easily my whole life.
