Americans, famous for having worthwhile and informed geopolitical opinions
Americans barely give a shit what's happening outside their own area, much less other countries.
Americans belive the big city a few hours away is Falujah circa 2004.
I remember a guy I worked with asking how I felt about gun control, when I said I had been considering buying one he started ranting about how BLM were burning the city down around us.
I imagine the US 2001-2012 was filled with the most rabid dumbasses who let go of any ounce of critical thinking
don't know who Macron is
:gigachad-hd: No thank you, I got nut allergies
I don’t believe at all that that many of our fellow countrymen know who these people are. If I went out on the street now, I’d be shocked if more then 2 or 3 out of 10 could tell me who fucking Olaf Scholz was.
They're cheating by adding "German Chancellor" in front of his name. Hell, if I was asked who Olaf Scholz was with no further detail I'd probably not know.
Surprisingly honest for 35% of Americans to admit they simply haven't heard of the guy, rather than inserting Generic Opinion About Germans as a response.
if I was asked who Olaf Scholz was with no further detail
he co-owned the 3rd smallest deli in Philly and, in 1973, invented an open-faced "sandwich" called "The Hot Olaf" which is wrapping a smoked bratwurst in hot pastrami, putting it on a paper plate, and dumping a ladle of mustard sauce on it.
after Deputy Mayor Rex "Popcorn" Buxton died "not mysteriously" on the employee toilet in 1974, the deli shuttered forever and was converted into an earwax museum.
“German chancellor? I’onno nothin’ ‘bout that. Last I heard them Germans caused a lot of trouble when they got a hot shot chancellor” :brace-dark-cowboy:
I get that he's not gonna be popular but it's quite funny/chilling to see that Xi and Putin are pretty much equivocated in the American brain.
Yeah very strange, they are very different figures. I don't really have much confidence in putin
No yeah, I understand the justification for the invasion just as well as everyone else in this site, but I still think it was a foolish and reckless move (I could even say worse, but who cares). Xi hasn't done anything even close to that, and the foreign policy in particular has been excellent. The propaganda factory is some serious shit.
Yeah, me too. But all I ways that don’t count. The 1% are literally addicted to (ac)counting.
Honestly that's a lot more than I expected, given wall-to-wall coverage that's not just negative, but "they're doing the Holocaust" negative.
PSL, left adjacent, financial time analyse, Petty bourgeois, venture capitalist.
Was gonna say "there are dozens of us" but there are literally millions of us, what the fuck. It's weird but I'll take it
I mean liberals think of russians as honorary asians at this point so yeah.
The amount of confused looks i get when i mention that moscow is in europe
liberals think of russians as honorary asians
True, though I don't believe the way in which libs think of Russians as Asians has anything to do with "honor".
Weird to include Netanyahu in this question since he’s from Philadelphia
The concept of 1 in 10 Americans not knowing who Zelensky is is sort of chilling as well
That fucker has a whole ass mural that got painted outside my practice space and I have to look at it every time I want to go play guitar.
:pain:
I'm not saying you should take up vandalism, but someone in your area should
I have considered taking a sharpie and giving him a silly mustache
If it makes you feel better I guess only 1 in 10 who see it even know who it is lmao
Definitely the person in the Chapo Noid riff who never learned what happened to Jared Fogle
That people have any confidence in Bibi and Modi to "Do the right thing" is damning in the extreme.
why bother manufacture consent in the population at this point? You can see that the population is not even interested by where the hellfire missiles land
They should redo this poll but just give the leaders name and not the country they are from or their title.
