All/hot is exactly like this but the complete opposite

I'm American, from South America. I think maybe the post refers to the gringos :-)

🤔 I once called a pothole a 'Colombian speedbump' and my local relatives could not appreciate it. QED

Laughing about yourself (or your own country) is sadly not a skill everyone possesses. People who can are the best :D

Americans (and Canadians, we're not above this problem): "I hate our government! They lie about everything and have no regard for human rights or even basic integrety! But also I uncritically believe everything they say about other countries that they already hate and have a massive political and economic incentive to smear because their governments are obviously way worse, I know that because my government told me so."

Where's the bit about Americans making fun of America and talking shit about it?

As long as your country has no oil, you can insult them without fear of retribution

Eh, not my impression at all

This is just more us versus them. Distraction

I call BS. I feel it's more popular than ever to dunk on the US. Like, there's still a sect of 'MURICAN PATURYOTS that get big mad, but most of us are well aware of reality.
