Gotta teach us somehow. You Europeans are far better at this sort of thing than Americans are. And you aren't losing out on much, I can pretty much guarantee that.
Honestly, it's ridiculous. I don't know why USA insists on "writing it's own history from scratch". As if there was nothing to learn from old Europa and the East. But all the pit-falls are being jumped into as if it's never been done before. Ya'll are basically speed-running a couple of thousand years of lessons already learned for no reason. I'm not criticizing, just bewildered at this point.
I guess it looks different on the outside looking in, but after you accept the fact that yes, about 25% of Americans are no more intelligent than a 3 year old, and having almost two centuries of corporate propaganda drilled into us, this all isnt entirely unpredictable.
Americans also won't understand how Europe can do anything to impact the US. *We saved you guys in two world wars!"
Like toddlers, they need actual consistent rewards and consequences. They haven't been getting that for a long time.
