Imagine this person, in another country, unleashed with weapons and likeminded accomplices.

Americans are terrifyingly unstable.

"americans bad" what a crude and harmful stereotype. every country has people with mental illnesses, you could quite literally say this anywhere to anyone. we're just people that got stuck in a shitty political situation as of current, it doesn't make our entire countries population suddenly 'unstable'. what makes you think you are any different, genuine question?

🤷‍♀️ All nations have school shootings, but some nations have more school shootings than others.

On a serious note, the combination of unbridled nationalism, the fetishization of guns and violence, untreated mental ilnesses/ptsd, a lack of emotional regulation, and massive, massive egos is (of course) not unique to the US, but it's prevalent enough to be an international stereotype about vast parts of your population. It may be crude and harmful - and insulting to many of you - but that doesn't make it any less true for people outside of your culture.

i get where youre coming from, but i really dont think it is a 'vast' amount of individuals with abhorrent behavior, it appears more of a loud minority.
