Why America will collapse.

[ZEGH8578]

Did I forget to add - I am one of those internet people.

Here I am!

On the internet - hating America!
Who am I? Surrounded by family members who love America, on most of my Norwegian side. My cousin has been working in Texas for years, he just recently returned home.

Yeah okay, fine, it's only the people on the interwebs who hate Americans. 

Is that any less likely than a stereotypical image of ALL snobby frenchy eurotrashies hating America?

What would we hate, if so? Your freedom?

[ZEGH8578]

Most people are just blissfully indifferent.

The rest are eager buyers of American culture.

The minority - that is - the angry, loud, political-hearted activists, they hate America. Cus America is a war machine and all.

Finally, theres like a 100 Europes. So, you'd better ask from country to country. Anti-Americanism is much more widespread in Eastern Europe. Over in the whole Donbass dramaland, journalists sometimes get attacked right away if they are - or seem to be American.

I can assure you, you won't be assaulted in Norway, just for being American. You'll probably be bothered instead, by people insisting on surprising you in some way "LOOK NO POLAR BEARS SURPRISED HUH "

I think odeon's already made the point I'm over exaggerating. I do it on purpose just to be a fucking cunt because I've grown tired of both the subtle and not so subtle jabs lumping americans as whole under the umbrella label of stupid waste of skin, so I lump the people who do it under the umbrella of obsessed freaks gobbling up our wasted skin.

I'm gonna tell you what I told a Mexican: Enjoy the attention!
Nobody makes fun of Norway, nobody hates us or loves us, criticizes us or sees us as heroes, invaders or liberators. The last people to hate us were the Irish, and that's a thousand years ago*, but they're fine with us now. Iceland loves us, but who gives a shit about Iceland

Both they are not mutually exclusive

In America people mass produce tv-series by their own free will - because it generates pissloads of money.
They sell the series to countries willing to buy them, and these countries get to fill up a big hole in the demand for entertainment.

It has then grown to become a norm.

It's not something we wake up in the morning going "Fuck Denmark! I want to watch some AMERICAN TV today! Fuck you too Finland! And you Slovakia, you can go fuck yourself!"

It's just "a norm", a self-feeding cycle. Stop Hollywood, and we have to deal with empty televisions and empty cinemas for a while, untill we slowly get the cogs rolling again.
Non-American interest in American TV is something that has often been brought up, by Americans, as an example of Europeans being totally obsessed with them.

There's another thing as well, you guys, Americans, are simply not used to watching foreign stuff, so I'll quickly explain how it works:
When I watch "Everybody loves Raymond" it's just that what I'm watching - it's not "Everybody loves that American guy, in America", it's just Raymond. Raymond is even a name over here. Raymond happens to speak English, with a nasal voice.
We don't sit around chanting "U-S-A!" whenever something American comes on tv, we just see people in stupid dramas.
Apart from American, British shows are very popular, and next to British, all of the obvious neighbors, in Norway, Swedish and Danish programs are popular.
Channels like "TVN" (guess what the N stands for) shows only Norwegian programming at least half the time.

Again, we don't get up in the morning going "SHIT! I LOVE/HATE AMERICA! Better some American entertainment on, so I can cry while I masturbate!", you guys just so happen to sell - we just so happen to not have to produce, by just buying it cheaply, so there we are.
If you guys were to stop, overnight, we wouldn't be missing America.

We would be missing 50% of our TV-series, regardless of their origin.

There's a whole lot more of America in Europe than just TV, but I do think it's a big part of the issue because I believe American tv is largely garbage. That's not what bother's me, it's all the negative projecting about the people of America that comes along with it. I agree it's become the norm, but I also think it's become the norm to generally dislike and even hate americans as a whole, and to think of all americans in terms of negative stereotypes being absorb from the brain rotting garbage that's being consumed.

Because the internet told you so.

Actually, you could make a bit more fun. There's a huge disparity between the fun we make of you, and the fun you guys make in return

I saw some short clips, of these two Norwegian wilderness explorer parodies, that was pretty funny, except you guys really suck at Norwegian
But the angle of the gags was actually funny, I think an episode escalates in them both being both suicidal but optimistically supportive at the same time, while wilderness-exploring in Antarctica (thereof the suicidalness)

Sorry I don't want to live in a prison because no matter how nice someplace is if you are not free that is what it is.
