    From a fellow South African: No one knows how hard it is to grind oneself out of poverty. Trevor does. He's a South African hero in ways most heroes don't experience. You don't know me, Trevor. That's ok. Cyril Ramaphosa doesn't either. Most people can't map South Africa on an atlas. Go, Trevor! Be the national hero you are.

      He wasn't great at doing that on TDS. On TDS he really only did that properly in interviews and on Behind The Scenes. The writers were clearly American so the jokes did not fit him at all. I hated his jokes when he was host. He's good when he's being himself. He wasn't himself on TDS.
      Don't get me wrong, I think it was a great opportunity for him, and I hope it takes him onto better things, but the daily monologue was mostly cringe. The cultural references did not ring true ... cos they weren't, and the political references were irrelevant bc he was not a citizen. I'm glad he moved on.

But at the same time, that's just... "common" sense isn't?.

      The playing of the US national anthem at sporting events was started for non-patriotic reasons during WWII. Here were healthy, draft-age males playing a boy's game for money (baseball) while mother's sons were being killed overseas. To over backlash and pretend like they were patriotic, baseball team owners' started playing the national anthem.

Sure they are people of African descent who are well off in both countries (mostly because of luck, family connections, or financial aid), but most are still very much in poverty.

      in the philippines, we had a very similar election in 2022. it was akin to Obama vs Trump. On our side was the most productive VP our country's ever had, on the other side was the son of former dictator Ferdinand Marcos. The lead up to the elections tore families and friends apart. There were a lot of trolling and threats on social media. Marcos Jr won.
      Two years later, we've moved on with our lives, and it turns out, Marcos Jr was on the liberal side. He even turned his back on former allies that had personal agendas in pushing him to run. Those former allies (the President from the previous administration, and his daughter who became Marcos' current VP) are the ones with the rabid fanbase a la MAGA-heads (look up President Rodrigo Duterte for more context). Any chance they get, they'll still harass and insult anyone who mentions or shows support for the former VP, even though they won.

      To be fair when its a local election and involves a mayor or some such the people will criticize them but if theres ever a split in the voters and they know the opposition has an equal chance to win then they'll spend more time attacking the rival over their own parties representative

      Don't blame the people, blame the ridiculous "largest minority wins even if it's not a majority" election system the US has. In that system, letting criticism build for your party's guy helps elect the guy you disagree with even more. So people naturally get afraid that criticizing their own guy will get someone even worse in power.

      @lpi3896 3 місяці тому

      Isn’t that part of some brainwashing scheme? Americans sing their anthem all the time, first thing in class and also in sporting events, they wave their flags everywhere, they swear to God in courts, the Bible is in public schools, Hollywood make Americans believe the USA saves Humanity in every movie, Veterans are honoured in various occasions… All that participates in the cult of war and the sense of imperialism that exists in this country. Most Americans feel entitled while they really shouldn’t. Maybe the worst thing with Americans is the love for money. They’ve associated God with the dollar… and another thing is how fake they can be with one another, which is something tourists very often tell about Americans. That’s because nothing is free in the US and people see a possibility to make money in every new relationship. Americans learn to hate people who are different. It starts internally: republicans hate democrats, white folks hate black folks and Latinos, rich people despise the poor (thinking they’re poor because they deserve it). In foreign affairs, Americans unite together in the hate of Arabic and so-said non-capitalist countries.
      Americans love guns and will always vote for millionaires. Isn’t that sick? Once again, they love money, so any millionaire is a model by principle, even if it’s Donald Trump. When it comes to the gun culture, that’s partly a legacy from the gold rush but also because people distrust each other (which started during the gold rush) and rightfully their government.
      So, basically, what makes the USA a country is the dollar, common hate for anticapitalism among American citizens and the wrong idea that the USA is the greatest democracy in the universe and have the duty to spread democracy all around the planet.
      But this unity is only possible with some brainwashing (anthem, flags, God mentions, dollar) that an American can finally realize by traveling abroad.

    The South African and New Zealand national anthems are also really beautiful and worth listening to. Both are multi-lingual anthems. In terms of the flag and patriotism I think that patriotism can easily be a gateway drug to nationalism. Patriotism on it's own is not bad but it is becoming a tool to isolate nations and create "them and us" mindsets. Someone who is patriotic and well travelled is usually very understanding of other nations and feels a bond to other countries. Someone who is patriotic and has not travelled at all is often very narrow minded and not really someone with a good understanding of other people that share the world with them but are different to them.

    The thing Trevor said about his American friends running into international trouble is so on point, too.
    When I worked in South Korea and things were getting dicey around 2017-2018, my other nationality coworkers asked me, "If you hear anything from your government, could you let us know?" Like if the US was going to do evacuations or something, they asked for a heads up, because they wouldn't know otherwise. 🥲
    America has problems, but just for that reason, I'm happy to be a US citizen.

      The problems of the USA endanger world peace mate. If you vote for the orange man, we will all suffer from his stupidity

      Ironically, Korea has a much better heads up for Koreans abroad. Same for Germans and other Europeans, but US citizenship is good, too.

      Didn't work out for Khashoggi. But that was Traitor to be Trump and the Saudi 'prince?' Now he threatens all of us Ameicans in our own country. Time to sing him our not a dictatorship anthem: "And our flag is still here, bich."
