What Do Europeans Think About American Life? | NYT Opinion

Americans are not friendly or hospitable at all I live here

Be proud and happy if you live in europe🇪🇺🇪🇺 America is full of propaganda and violence. I feel very bad for the people that live there and i wish them the best.

This is a terrible video

I am so sick of the USA as an American who doesn’t like living here

This VIDEO is just plain IDIOTIC

I feel so sorry for all these people trying to get to the US and see that country as heaven on earth. I cannot imagine the poverty they are experiencing in their motherland.

In WA state, Seattle area, PNW, we get 12-18 weeks paid leave if we’ve worked 820 hours in the last 15 months. It’s something.

STOP REINFORCING OUR WORST STEREOTYPES, NYTimes! Not everyone is filled up on McDonalds all day long. Being a self-hating American doesn’t make you a cool evolved insider, it makes you a child.

Simplistic to button down a Large and Diverse Nation with a few quips. I saw more Fat Germans in a Month than a Year in Santa Monica. Fitness in some areas is a Religion unto itself.
99.9999999% of Gun Owners Shot no One last Year. Liberal Bias to be Staring at the 1/100th of 1/10th of a percent event. And call it Typical. 🙃🫤🧱👈

“That’s disgusting” I don’t see anything wrong with a bigger drink for a smaller/same price 🫤

The more people hate America, the better our illegal immigrant problem gets...HOPEFULLY!

Keep up the good work!

All of those who gave up their guns also gave up their freedom and they don't even realize it so sad

lol we can’t afford to riot…. That’s a days wage

Good to take the perspective further and think about things from God's perspective.

America is a cult (American here!).

"I'm surprised people are not rioting in the streets"
You should've shown them images of American police when people stand up for themselves.

I am proud of my right to defend myself and those I love. A right Europe knows nothing of, unfortunately.

It's rubbish to say the least as an American

If Iam treating you the way you treated me, it's ethical.This is the fighting fire with fire,approach to life.However,such a response takes away your standards of conduct.Your action are totally dependent on the actions of others.This makes you a reactionary who is out of control.Biblical principles identify only one standard of behavior God's standard.

Show them our gdp v European countries

This was designed to abuse and trash talk the USA people. A click bait Murdock tactic. The Times doesn't, do journalism anymore. No more. Bye.

“I’m surprised people aren’t rioting in the streets”
We do. But our country is so far behind the rest of the developed world. We’re still protesting our prejudiced criminal justice system. It’s hard to protest about healthcare when basic rights aren’t even met.

The American in me wants us to fix healthcare and childcare and build some rail just to entirely shut Europeans up, more so than to help people.

Lots of cheaper, excellent schools in usa

"de-incentivize people having kids" good. There are way too many people on this planet. Nobody should be having children.

Yawn, snore, zzzzzzzzzz . . .
Yeah, yeah, yeah, until the Russians show up. And don't hand me that bullsh*t about you defending yourselves. France: yes (they have their own nukes). Britain: yes (they have their own nukes). The REST of you??? OH HO HO HO HAH HA HA HA tee hee heeee . . .
Thank God you will not be coming to America!

Nothing makes me happier than Europeans' disapproval of everything we do.

The Muslims will take over Europe. Let's see the state of Europe then.

"The US is bad" Yet somehow the US has the most doctors, most advanced and sophisticated hospitals, the best military, the most billionaires, the most immigration, the best universities, the most university educated people in the world, the best constitution, the best court system, the most resources, the most expansive art/entertainment industry, invented and hosts the UN, the highest GDP, the most opportunistic economy, the best civil rights record, the most food per capita, the largest middle class population in the world, all of the big tech giants (that the entire world uses), invented the Internet, invented the light bulb, invented combined arms warfare, saved the world from Hitler's Germany, has the most embassies in the world, has the most military bases in the world, has the most diverse population in the world, and polices the world allowing nearly all of Europe to not focus on their military and be able to afford universal healthcare. You're welcome everyone. Enjoy your free healthcare and lower college while you disregard the fact that America literally IS your military. Must be nice to have that extra money to put into social programs.

Lmaoo the one women “it decentivizes poor people from having kids because only rich people can afford to have them” ☠️☠️☠️☠️ welfare be letting poor people have 8 and still pay them

as an american I aporved of this it's stupid what my country is honestly the healthcare and such seriously I plan to move to countries like denmark, Netherlands, or finland

This didn’t age well when she said the younger generation is giving her hope for America 😨

america is not europe

I know this is nitpicking, and I actually agree with the point, but choosing to show them the cost of M.I.T, instead of the average cost of college, feels a little like cheating.

Sure, the fact that any college costs that could be the example, but it still feels a bit odd

Edit: I've also found out since I posted this comment, but MIT gives a full scholarship to anyone that's accepted, should they not be able to pay tuition.

There is no country like America made of people who are from all over the world. It is still a beacon of freedom for our humanity. I came to America many years ago. Today, I am proud to say that I am an American. We are very diverse. But we share the same values: Liberty and respect for others. We don’t bash other peoples or countries, because only people who are truly confident respect themselves and others. They don’t feel better about themselves by bashing others. It is ridiculous a lot of people here haven’t even been to America or lived in America, yet they think Americans are stupid anything. We don’t envy socialism or new age earth religion. You like it, that is fine. But it doesn’t make your superior in intelligence, from someone with a phd.

We think we are defending the world. But the world hates us for doing that. We should withdraw from NATO. This video convinced me that it is not the best interest for our country to spend money on military aid for Europe, Japan, Israel, South Korea… Nobody likes world police. America is not world police

That is why we should withdraw from NATO and spend money on our own citizens and help all the hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants coming here. We should withdraw our military from all the world: Europe, Middle East, Asia….

I think we definitely we should withdraw from NATO

And Americans are so proud of what they have....land of the free LMAO

sadly once an american pays insurance premiums, it costs them more than what they would pay for national healthcare .

Nothing is "free"...it's just paid by all of the citizens in socialist countries through high tax rates.

can't wait for them to bring up the more than a hundred bombings that occur in Sweden every year when they make a video about it

The white girl with the green shirt probably has the worst haircut of all time

Drones over Odessa. Beautiful 🤣

It's the Nation that's rotten America's damnation is it can't change and that's Biblical and Spiritually.

This video only highlights the bad of America. No country in the world (this includes Europe) is perfect. Many countries in Europe are definitely just as good to live in as the US and have problems. Europe has issues too, some just as severe as America’s. America has some really incredible stuff too (like higher wages than Europe for the same jobs).

Compare any two countries, or even individuals and focus on only on how one of them negatively compares to the other is the formula for bias. Americans are painfully aware of these issues.

What shoked me greatly was that Americans PAY for the ambulance! No its wrong!

this is addigan empire propaganda
