    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.

      We in Germany also have what we call "Radler". This is beer, mixed with lemonade (lemonade like, let’s say Sprite or 7-Up) and therefore only with half the amount of alcohol than in regular beer. And in Germany we tend to mix beer with other non-alcoholic beverages as well if it tastes well.

      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.

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

      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.

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.

      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.

      If Trevor thinks all anthems are about how beautiful the country is, he should listen to the French one. It's literally describing a bloodbath ! To be fair, it dates back to the French revolution, which were violent times.
      But it always feels weird to hear it sung by football/soccer players before a match. Like... do you intend to murder the other team and decapitate them ?! 😅

      funny thing is that now we have a "them vs us" mentality in our own countries... Now isn't that great?

    Most Americans I talked to that spend quite some time in Europe say that the mayor difference is the almost total absence of fear in Europeans. And because hate is just a symptom of fear... you figure out the rest.

      Really? Such a nirvana Europe is? Do your homework. Homily as garbage. Or they may not fear as much but there is a whole lot of hate bubbling under the surface pal. I just can't stand garbage cutesy homilies- as if we can all learn from your unmitigated genius.

      But they can't figure it out on their own. Create a closed circuit in any group and you will eventually get them all to repeat the same message. No human should live in an imprisonment of the mind, imposed by greedy dictators who think their will is supreme. How have we not risen above this as a species?

      Unfortunately, fear is coming back in European countries as we import all of American habits and culture, thus the rise of hate and its political parties everywhere 😢

      ​@@goldflo91yep, in Germany where I'm living the populist far right AfD are surging in popularity all of a sudden after years of being insignificant. Scary times here ahead since fascism is becoming renormalised
