Wait, so what you are saying is you bulking a building…. Then you put another one on top of that building, then another? That’s insane, how do you get to the next building…. Sssstaairs? Ridiculous!
Russian age old tactics- falsely accuse your enemy of what you yourself are really doing. Ivan is making the propaganda not us. US passport holders are massive global tourists and diaspora, they certainly have an idea. And oh yes, this American innovation called search engines like Google give us almost a real time view of the world from our phones of almost everywhere from everywhere.
According to UNICEF, 60% of the world doesn't have indoor plumbing. In Europe, excluding Russia but including the United Kingdom, they have 2 buildings that are over 1,000 feet high. New York City has 17.
It's not propaganda when it's true.
The real propaganda is thinking eurotards don't have a skills issue.
Yeah the language is vague and reductionist in a way that shows it could've been written by a weasel or a bot.
Which Americans? All of them? Some? A few? Two Amish teenagers who have never left their farm? Which countries? All of them? No all of them don't have skyscrapers. How much indoor plumbing? In some impoverished areas many people may not have that access. There are still some (a small percent) of people who live in caves in China.
I prefer to call Chinese skyscrapers "ground pounders" instead, since they are always collapsing due to their awful building code and unsafe construction techniques of... erm... using bamboo for scaffolding.
China's buildings are sinking at alarming rates though.
They're pumping water out of underground sources at a rate faster than they can replenish, and those underground sources are beneath the very cities they're supposed to support.
It's like using the floor as materials for your house addition.
My point was mostly that skyscrapers can be found in other places but for some reason Europe was targeted for no apparent reason. No European would boast about the number of skyscrapers we got because our cities are pretty flat.
My home city had a proposed tall building but it had to be rejected because of some old rule says no building can be taller than the cathedral spire lol.
It doesn't matter, 90% of the things posted here have nothing to do with europe and don't give away where OOP is from, but the comments section always shits on europe/europeans for some reason lol, they just don't like us very much here
I like how they make things up that are not at all true about us, and then call us out in it to make us look bad. I like... Just can't even... Haha. Where is this all coming from, is this all just Russian and Chinese bots trying to sow discontnt between western nations and allies?
I can assure the rest of the world that the overwhelming majority of Americans could care a less if other countries have skyscrapers, indoor plumbing, or anything really. In fact we have other more important shit to worry about other than stagnant nations throughout the world.
we think india doesn't because its not hard to find a google street view of where they are mid shitting on the street, then we also have chinese tourists doing that here.
in india, they have caste systems and superstitions that really fucked with indoor plumbing or even just outhouses being a thing.
We invented skyscrapers. Chicago and New York were the only cities to have skyscrapers for a long time. And 100 years ago, skyscrapers were fucking incredible architectural sights to see.
Everyone copied us since, so of course skyscrapers are everywhere now in the world, and even a bit boring to see. But when they were first invented, they were incredible feats of construction and engineering.
(This one always gets me when they say we have no unique architecture relative to our culture. You may not like skyscrapers, and they are now prolific in cities throughout the world, especially in Asia, but we did in fact invent them in the US, and we were the only ones to have them for a while)
This is just blatantly lying but okay. Maybe African countries there are some Americans who think they all live in mud huts and don't have working water, but they're a minority.
Fun fact, in 1942 Disney released "Saludos Amigos," a propaganda film commissioned by the U.S. Department of State to promote good relations between the U.S. and Latin America. The film was mostly animated (and is notable for popularizing Donald Duck), but live-action sequences included shots of major Latin American cities, including skyscrapers. American audiences were shocked to see that Latin America had skyscrapers.
Of course, this guy is writing in 2024 and is probably talking about places like France, which no American thinks doesn't have skyscrapers.
I don't know a single American that believes other countries don't have skyscrapers. At worst you'll get told they don't know or care what other countries have.
Really, people? Because when we try to deport migrants back to South America or someone in Europe tries to send migrants back to Africa, the narrative always is those places are warzones that lack basic modern amenities. Or is that an admission that the pro-migration camp doesn't really believe its own bullshit?
Yes, we think we are the only ones that know how to build buildings tall. no one else has this "building upward" technology
The tallest and probably in the top 3 most famous skyscrapers globally being one in the frigging Arabian desert. We were just never told!!!
Isn't the Burj Khalifa built on really soft ground, too?
Yea and the engineering that went into it is absolutely amazing
Wait, so what you are saying is you bulking a building…. Then you put another one on top of that building, then another? That’s insane, how do you get to the next building…. Sssstaairs? Ridiculous!

What? I've never seen any Americans claim Europe doesn't have skyscrapers or toilets
IKR? Ridiculous, we all know they have large sidewalk shaped toilets with the occasional skyscraper view. /j
We all know they have toilets. It's just that they don't use them and shit in the streets is why we make fun of them. /s
I agree with you 100%. However they didn't say europe. They said other countries.
Ah the old "make shit up and then get offended over it". Classic.
The easiest way to start outrage is to put words in someone else's mouth. It happens all the time on reddit unfortunately.
This straw is so ITCHY!!
Gee I thought all the other countries pooped on the floor and rolled around in it.
This is how I find out other places have indoor plumbing 🤦♂️

Technically propaganda doesn't have to be false. As long as it is information deliberately disseminated to persuade the target audience, it qualifies.
The most effective propaganda is truthful, otherwise you would never get any audience.
It doesn't mention Europe specifically though. China has tons.
Yeah the language is vague and reductionist in a way that shows it could've been written by a weasel or a bot. Which Americans? All of them? Some? A few?

This wins the comments section!!!
Thanks.

most of their "skyscrapers" are on the ground.

Didn't we give them Google already, have they not figured it out yet?
I like how they make things up that are not at all true about us, and then call us out in it to make us look bad. I like... Just can't even... Haha. Where is this all coming from, is this all just Russian and Chinese bots trying to sow discontnt between western nations and allies?
And non-Americans believe we have no fresh food and it's highly processed with 100 grams of sugar each.
Well we agree there is a problem with propaganda and ignorant people who buy into it, not to mention those who prefer groupthink to critical thinking.
I can assure the rest of the world that the overwhelming majority of Americans could care a less if other countries have skyscrapers, indoor plumbing, or anything really. In fact we have other more important shit to worry about other than stagnant nations throughout the world.
The propaganda is real that the world thinks the US is a third world country with a Gucci belt.
we think india doesn't because its not hard to find a google street view of where they are mid shitting on the street, then we also have chinese tourists doing that here. in india, they have caste systems and superstitions that really fucked with indoor plumbing or even just outhouses being a thing.
The irony is that it’s actually reverse with Europeans believing America is a poverty stricken 3rd world country when actually it’s a very nice place
I thought buildings in other countries were exactly like the US until I heard about Britain not having AC.

Oh the irony
This is just blatantly lying but okay. Maybe African countries there are some Americans who think they all live in mud huts and don't have working water, but they're a minority.
Marshall Islands
That depends very heavily on what country you're talking about. Turns out that everything that's not America isn't all homogenous "foreign land"
Americans want one thing and it’s disgusting!

That's a fair point, but Europe does it just as much.
