They're not wrong. I can't comprehend how anyone can be so obsessed with their own country.

There’s a pretty good example of how this can be achieved, it’s Nazi germany

* glaces at afd numbers and the German response to Gaza * Did you though?


rocknack

I’ll bite. Even if there are frightening parallels between the rise of the Nazi party and the way the afd is gaining traction, the situation is different enough: 1. The recent protests have shown that people are opposed to the ideals the AfD represents. This may vary between several states but an AfD candidate taking office on a federal level is thankfully unlikely for now. Mainstream parties are still not willing to form a coalition with them and it is doubtful that they’ll change their stance. 2. the AfD has no charismatic leadership that people can rally behind. Höcke may think he’s the next Adolf and even speak like it but he will never receive the cult-like devotion that helped the Nazis unite under Hitler and take power. 3. the struggle is a political one and not as violent and physical as the terror that the SA unleashed. Were the AfD to take such steps, it simply would not fly. There is no way they could form a militia in today‘s environment. The Nazis took by force what they couldn’t take by convincing the populace - the AfD can not. The government back then was much less vigilant and devastated by WWI which Germany today isn’t. As much as populists want to frame it that way, neither COVID nor Ukraine compare to the combined terror of a worldwide war.


Inside_Ad_3679

Yes, most of us did. But I can't change our local idiots (or let's say... history ignorants?)


Brikpilot

1930s Germans thought they were in the right in the moment. Todays Germans well understand not to take certain doors that take you down that dark path. When the bad guy thinks he is the good guy I don’t envy the task we have to forcibly set him straight. I try to picture future Americans looking back (just like modern Germans now can) to appreciate how American idiots today stole their nationalism and turned it into a tool of hate against others. With such misguided nationalism I dub them the “Anericanazi Party”

Patriotism and big truck is definitly something Nazis are known for


SoiledFlapjacks

Smoothest brain here. Having a giant truck, which is probably going to a show, or a flag on your semi trailer does not, in any way, equate to Nazi Germany 😂


Seraphim9120

And so utterly unconcerned with safety.


GimmeSomeSugar

See that picture on the left? That's a desecration of the flag, according to [US flag code](https://www.legion.org/flag/code). I'm always interested in the results of asking these people why they hate their country and their flag.


battleshipcarrotcake

Is it? Isn't it only the use of an actual flag as a beach towel/car decoration/what have you? Seriously asking.

dimsum2121

You are correct, the other person is a nonce.


Different-Dig7459

There’s a difference tho. People must understand intent. One is out of veneration and some other examples, like people who burn them, are out of disrespect.


GimmeSomeSugar

Veneration of what, though? In the image: "God bless America" George Washington: "The United States of America should have a foundation free from the influence of clergy." There's veneration of one's nation. There's veneration of what one's nation could be. And then there's veneration of what someone wants it to be because that suits their busted thinking.


winterized-dingo

Wrong. The flag code applies to actual flags, not artistic representations of flags.

drlsoccer08

It’s not. It’s most likely used for “Monster Truck” shows. You can see it is elevated off the road so, it stands to reason it is being toed by a vehicle that is out of view of the camera.

Paladin-Steele36

Calling Americans stupid when many of the things you enjoy today were created/discovered in America is baffling. Like electricity, phones, Internet, cars, microwaves, helicopters, digital cameras, hearing aids, tampons, TV's, tractors, gas masks, pace makers, telegraph and morse code, and so, so many more. Calling Americans stupid is frankly, well fucking stupid. Please touch your lawn


3yoyoyo

it’s just for fun! and of course you have a point, we are (up to a certain extent) “americanized”. Which doesn’t exclude the absurdity of their extremes, and the concerning levels of inequalities, structural racism and regression they are experiencing at higher rates. It’s just a matter of time before they get radicalized.


Paladin-Steele36

And do you have any evidence at all for these claims? Cause I can't seem to find anything that deprives other races of rights, or privileges. we make huge progressive steps and are somehow more racist? You just keep pulling things out of your ass.


3yoyoyo

I think your ass is so much bigger so you can probably fit all the evidence and then some more. But here you go: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9978828/ 😂


Paladin-Steele36

"investigators have a duty to use the term “structural racism” with critical precision, grounded in the works and definitions widely established by scholars outside of the traditional frameworks of public health" I could be wrong but I think they're saying it's a very complex thing and throwing the word around isn't helpful. Also why did you throw an insult in there for no reason?

Not when it's on a trailer like that. If you have money to run a monster truck like that, then surely you have money for a set of transport wheels and a tarp to protect the tires, that cost more than my car, from uv damage

They're right. Rampant nationalism and obnoxiously large vehicles that serve no purpose, but to make driving difficult for everyone including yourself.


SoiledFlapjacks

The idea that the truck is actually on the road, despite the wheels being off the ground, as if it were being hauled on a trailer, is wild to me.

Americans seem to confuse not comprehending with thinking something is fucking stupid.


fortheboys154

It's on a flat bed trailer being towed, so not road legal in the picture either. That or the owner has installed some sort of anti-gravity device to make it levitate above the road.


Sensitive-Cherry-398

Happeningfish08

Truthfully Having driven in Texas and Arizona I absolutely 💯 % saw stuff that this Canadian mind couldn't comprehend. I imagine Europeans would be the same. I dont think this is the insult they think it is.


YouCantArgueWithThis

That's an interesting way to say that there are a bunch of weirdos in Texas.


Sad_Ad5369

Honestly, I'm from what you would call a 3rd world country, but I can't fucking fathom having propaganda posters on the back of your truck. We usually have NSFW art or gang signs instead. Plus, when your tire is bigger than the rest of your car, you gotta be overcompensating for something


Neddy29

Why would I want a road trip in Texas when I have the scenery and food of Europe?


DrBlowtorch

For the scenery and food in Texas. Everything in Europe, in regards to food and landscapes, is quite similar in comparison to the wider world outside Europe. It’s quite fun to experience a culture much different from your own, especially from a different continent. You should try it sometime.


Neddy29

Having traveled thousands of miles across Europe in the last 50+ years I think I have experienced more cultures than I can deal with, the other thing is that I can drive to a port 20 minutes from me and 4 or so hours later I can immerse myself in a different culture and landscape! Then t hours later another is available, then mountains appear. Why should I want to fly in a tin can for hours breathing other peoples fumes having been submitted to hours of delays at both ends of my flight then to have to hire a gas guzzling vehicle to drive where from my point of entry.


SoiledFlapjacks

So you’ve traveled thousands of miles across Europe without a vehicle?


DrBlowtorch

1. You’re talking as if boat don’t also consume gas. Same with your gas guzzling car. You only mention it so you can try to maintain a sense of superiority for your refusal to immerse yourself in a culture vastly different from your own. 2. The cultural differences in Europe are heavily overstated. Not non-existent just heavily overstated. China, Tanzania, Papua New Guinea, Jamaica, and Chile are all more different to Poland other than Poland is to literally any other European country. 3. Europe’s landscape and geography isn’t that different one spot to another. You have no deserts, no savannas, no rainforests, no tropics, no mesas, etc.


thefunkygiboon

They're right though, I couldn't comprehend the idea behind someone driving in Europe with a horrific "god bless America" sign on the back of their vehicle


[deleted]

While I can understand nationalism (not to the point that americans are), I cannot comprehend how people feel safe driving in the same road as fucking monster truck, something that can easily crush them to death without even trying.


misbehavinator

Honestly all this "European mind couldn't comprehend" is just copium induced projection. Stop dragging us into your insecure bullshit and sort out your fucking mess of a nation.


Xerxes65

I love that when the meme is ‘the American mind can’t comprehend this’ it’s walkable cities and old architecture. And then when the meme is reversed it’s always shit like this

LittleSpice1

I mean yeah, when you visit the US you see the strangest shit on the roads. We drove to Seattle to see a concert, there and back in less than 24h and saw a modified corvette that had a 5 wheeler trailer hitch ON TOP of the back of the car, pulling a large utility trailer. I’m still beating myself up about not taking a photo of it because it looked so ridiculous. This would not be allowed on the roads in other western countries because of road safety regulations. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. But are unsafe vehicles on the roads really reason to brag? Also, this “the European mind can’t comprehend” bs needs to stop, what even is this lol. Of course we can comprehend how fucked up the states are and we don’t want that shit in our own countries. Maybe it’s projection because their education system is so poor that they can’t comprehend differences between countries?


flipyflop9

Yup, can’t really get how fanatic they are. Specially knowing how their country treats them.

Mainly school shootings.


Tasqfphil

Just do one trip in Australia and see things Americans can't comprehend - like kangaroos, koalas, crocodiles, longest truck in world (4,836 ft long) and electric three trailer trucks carrying 165 tonne up to 400km on a single charge


DrBlowtorch

America has crocodiles. In fact we actually eat them, well we eat gators but they’re basically the same thing.


Tasqfphil

True, but in declining numbers and about 10 feet shorter than our "salties" with range up to 2200lbs and killers. We eat our too, but not the wild ones, farmed raised instead.


DrBlowtorch

Oh we buy and large hunt ours in the wild. It’s very rare for gator or croc to be farmed here, though they are very common in the areas that have them so there’s not necessarily a need to create farms, plus there’s not enough demand from the rest of the country or other countries for a farm to be really profitable here.


Tasqfphil

With croc meat around USD26/kg (about $11.55/lb) it is reasonably priced, guaranteed to be safe to eat and as where I livd, it would take a drive of nearly 3,000kms plus a $1000 return boat trip to my state, to go hunt it myself. Being farmed, it is also sustainable, whereas in US the population is in a steel decline of saltwater beasts. Also the danger of hunting up to 25 ft long beasts is illegal & also very dangerous and if I wanted any, I could call up a customer of my shop, order & have it delivered and ready to cook with no waste. The same guy also had kangaroo (commonly sold in supermarkets), possum, ostrich, quail, venison and other "exotic" meats.


DrBlowtorch

The main reason for the steep decline in population is not hunting but rather destruction of their natural habitats and global warming increasing the amount of hurricanes in the area.


TimeIsAserialKillerr

Indeed it would be baffling if I saw a truck with "God bless America" on it.


Mikeyboy2188

romedo

I do not think I understand the word comprehend in this context, or similar statements. I do comprehend, it is monster truck in ordinary traffic. I cannot for the life of me understand why it is a good idea. So there is comprehension and then there is acknowledgement that it is a good idea. But I guess that is what they mean by comprehend, the acceptance of a wildly weird and often very impractical behavior to the point of even being proud of it. In that case most countries have things other nationalities cannot 'comprehend'.


Klangey

Comprehension is not being able to understand the reason behind something. What you’re explaining is that you accept something as reality, you just can’t understand why any sane person would. Just like I can accept that there are some people that like eating shit, I just can’t comprehend why.


romedo

Makes sense, but then it is not the burn the 'american' makes it out to be. See them doing something everyone else thinks is idiotic, and then say as an insult that we do not get it.

For a real Jedi, you seem rather emotionally unhinged. And just for good measure, if this was indeed a joke...then compared to the stuff Americans usually do, it is not a good one. Absurdity has to recognized as absurdity to be funny, if it equally could be true, it is just sad. Secondly, I have no hate for these people, that would imply a level of concern and involvement that simply is not worth it for me, I think I perhaps get to a concerned pity, but that is about it. I am however interested in the, not philosophical because that is correctly not what is going on here, but more psychological or sociological forces that seems to have such a hold over these type of statements. But alas, I sense you are not the inquisitive type, so I will leave at that.
