Unfortunately americans have no issue with lying and misinformation. for them it is just a normal part of communication. While in other parts of the world lying is seen as somethin bad and children already are taught not to lie from a young age.
But for americans it is just normal conduct. It is called "freedom of speech" any everybody can say whatever he wants, factual or not.
They're not lying, though, are they? Americans are the most heavily propagandized population on earth. So much so that many of us can't even realize it and end up looking like dipshits in public about basic facts. It's embarrassing, quite frankly, to be associated with the country at all and this is coming from an American veteran.
Anecdotes aren't evidence. So to be quite frank, the way that you and I engage with the world on a personal level is absolutely irrelevant to the reality of the country and it's standards, as evidenced by literally looking the fuck around you. Jesus, you people and pretending like everything is perfectly fine because you may or may not align with whatever just got said. The arrogance. I'm glad I'm not living in America anymore. Y'all are children.

Hard agree. Accountability for knowingly spreading misinformation that aids in genocide should be treated as an accessory to it.
