    You see, one of the reasons we like to shit on you so much is because of your fake feeling that you somehow managed to solve WWII.

    WWII would be over soon-ish even without you, you joined last minute when it started affecting you directly. Which is fine, you had no obligation to help back then. And it’s great for us that you joined because it means fewer people have lost their lives. But you believing that without you we would have lost is some Putin-level propaganda.

    Your misguided belief that thanks to you we have better lives and that’s why you can’t have nice things is not only another great piece of propaganda, it’s also utter nonsense. If you’re capable of doing it, why don’t you do it for yourself?

    The other reason we like to shit on you is because you like to cosplay as a developed nation, but the only thing that’s developed about you is being rich, other than that you’re the same dictatorship as other developing nations (except you have two ruling parties, not just one).

    What’s the point of making fun of Brazil? What happens there is just sad and everyone knows it, no one pretends otherwise. But in US, when bad shit happens, half of you pretend it’s fine and you’re still somehow superior to everyone around.

      You forgot the crippling debt that the US saddled many countries with after the war, a lot of which have only recently been repaid

      1941? That was the last minute of WWII? Are you high? Are you familiar with the continents of Asia, Africa, and/or Oceania? Or does your knowledge of geography and history end at the borders of the noble European continent?

      The Soviet Union didn’t even join the Allies until June of 1941. And they did a hell of a lot more to win the war than any of the western European Allies, that’s for damn sure.

      Not to mention the vast economic and logistical aid given prior to entering the war. Not to mention the Marshall Plan. Not to mention the Berlin Airlift. It’s not a misguided belief, the US has verifiably used its economic and military power to protect the interests of western European allies throughout the past century.
