    You’re looking at and following your information bubble.

    This is by design.

      Yeah but almost every American I meet here traveling in SEA or Europe is a perfectly reasonable person.

      Dunno I just am in such disbelief that my world experience doesn’t match reality at all. I even consider myself pretty well traveled with 20 years of experience traveling around the globe though admittedly I’ve never been to the USA yet and I fear I might not get to see Yellowstone or Big Sur ever at this point or do I even want to?

      Kinda sucks to be a fan of US now ngl.

        If you go to the States as a tourist the chances are that you will be just fine, it’s the living there that increasingly sucks.

        The people you meet while travelling are not the average people. The average American never travels to another state, let alone to other continents… Same is true for many people in many countries: Asians visiting Europe are top % of population in wealth and brains. It’s dissapointing and depressing but fox probably gives you a more true picture of average Americans than Americans you meet while travelling.

          Yes I’m perfectly familiar with “survivors bias” but never seen it so extreme.
