> Reality is hard. It's easier out here in europe, we've been lucky enough not to suffer too much from the awful american media diet.
I live in the U.S. and stay away from the media. I recommend it. I used to think it was important to stay abreast of all of the comings and goings, but that was B.S. It's a stressful waste of time for me. I don't really get into sports either.
> There's a lot of propaganda in your country. I sympathize with you, truly; it's difficult to tell what's real and what isn't when you've been gaslit for years.
What you say is true about it being difficult to tell what is real. But, the only people that I spoken with that know what it's like in America are those that have lived here recently for a year or more, and preferably those that have moved around some. It's a large country, with different cultures; I don't even know them all. A lot of it is annoying (the parts of the country where people act really fake and the parts where people seem nice but are passive aggressive isolating backstabbers), and a lot more of it is honest, loud, quiet, funny, and cool.
I sometimes act as if I understand the people of this or that country, because I work with people of different countries each day at work, so I know I act the same way; I don't really know what it's like either.
