Hey, German here. What the f*** are Americans doing at the other side of the Atlantic? Some of you already know this monstrosity. I did’nt. This is a Ford F650 Truck and when I stepped out of my Youtube Bubble I realized, it was marketed as the “biggest, baddest Truck on the road” for the everyday American. Are you guys serious?! Is the end goal really to drive a Monster Truck to McDs to get a McFlurry? Americas bloodiest wars have been fought in the middle east to secure oil, bombing nations to rubble. And all, for this bullshit? The excess, waste and decadence is mind boggling to me and people on Reddit seriously justifying this by “you know dude I’m 6,4ft. I don’t fit in any other vehicle” makes me go up the wall.
No, that is its mind. There’s gonna be a bunch of apologists on here trying to emphasize the diversity of their culture and denying the significance of that horrific abomination you’ve pointed out, but they’re American, which means they’re in denial, and their brains short circuit a bit when you poke them in their cognitive dissonance. The fact remains that there is enough of a market for that vehicle for Ford to produce it, which in itself is sufficiently appalling to justify everything you said, which was really quite mild.
That truck is literally a picture of the American mind. Doesn’t matter the morality of it, that went out the window after ww2 anyway - if there’s money to be made, they’re gonna go for it, consequences for everyone else being by definition Somebody Else’s Problem. Even though they might as well be shitting into their own lungs. More dissonance!
As though “yeah, but look at me!” is any sort of a response to this shit anyway. It’s a country that venerates ego, what are you gonna do
