Americans are Overreacting to the Financial Meltdown?

My Fellow Prisoners…

This is how a Frenchman (who goes by the name, “Borborygme”) feels about the US economic crisis:

What tangible unpleasant thing have you personally suffered from ‘this crisis’? Hearing bad news does not count. Has anything bad actually happened to you? A decline in the value of your house only counts if you have sold it or tried to sell it for the lower price. A notional change in value is meaningless if you are not in the market to buy or sell. The same can probably be said for your stock positions unless you hold stocks in the financial sector. Even then, I suspect most insurance companies will profit from this in the end, even though their stock is down temporarily, because they can buy things so cheaply now, which, eventually will show up as an elevation in their stock price.

Obviously this was written by someone who has never had to worry about money. Must be nice.

So, here’s a video of a bunch of Americans overreacting:

I won’t get into the domino effect this has on the middle class and lower income families because well, that’s just obvious if you are an American. You sorta have a clue. I am one of millions upon millions of families directly effected by this mess, and I don’t take too kindly to my personal situation being belittled and laughed at when I didn’t do anything to harm anybody else.

When I say that I am effected (or any American for that matter), that doesn’t mean I am sad because I cannot buy that 4747882002569 inch Plasma TV. Or buy my 352597889005th car for my 8 door garage. Like most people, I live a very modest life. Maybe the Americanophobes need to read this and then STFU!

An Australian basically thought that the economic crisis was funny and being overreacted to under the disguise of “satire”.

Another thing that confuses me is that people like Borborygme are usually whining about how the states effect their every day life. Every little thing that goes wrong is always “America’s fault”. We Americans have to hear constantly how we are ruining THEIR lives – all the time. I find it troubling that Borborygme and people that think like like him are constantly whining about Americans oppressing them. Borborygme expects Americans to sympathize with HIM. Because HE is thuffwerring… Puleeeeze…

This Frenchman is a frequent commenter on a blog that rails against Anti-Frenchism. You gotta love the irony and the double standards. Typical of your every day kook-aid drinking quack-in-the-box Americanophobe ankle-biter.

Non-Americans: They suffer.
Americans: They never suffer; they only cause it against others.

The above is how the world see us, generally.

Most people in other countries are nothing but “The Yanks are out to get meeeeee“ paranoid school yard bullies that don’t give a rats ass about anybody but themselves despite their phony puritanism. They always whine that Americans are giving them the middle finger. Well, yanno what? We really should, actually.

Like I mentioned in this post, I find it fascinating that while the Americanophobes are belittling our situation here, they are crying about how American Wall Street has effected them so much. So, apparently, we Americans are supposed to “feel sowwy for them” when they are barely even touched by the crisis. They lie to Americans because they need every and any excuse in the book to find fault with the average American. Fuck that shit.

As Andrei Markovits from Romania said, most of the whiny brats in other western countries are rich elitist mother fuckers. And they lie like a seasoned politician.

This reminds me of the following quote:

“As someone who takes human rights seriously, I’m appalled by the lack of sympathy the left feels toward the victims of any regime other than the Bush administration. Let’s shout it to prisoners everywhere: If you’re not harmed by an American, your suffering doesn’t count.” –Erik Svane

But wait a minute. Millions of Americans have been harmed by the American government. I will update his quote for him. So long as you’re an American, no matter what you go through negatively, it

1. never happened
2. and even if it kinda did, it was deserved

I get as angry as I do because

1. I don’t take kindly to my personal situation being minimized especially when someone doesn’t even know me or my personal life, and
2. because I’ve (for the most part) been against MY government and on the side of other countries.

Another thing that is ironic is that the Americanophobes living in Europe criticize Americans for being too positive about life. But when we mention the slightest inconvenience in our lives, we are maimed a bunch of lying attention seekers. So, which is it, really? We are damned either way, aren’t we?

I will say loudly and proudly that I have more fight in me than your average Americanophobic Euro-weenie. And I AM positive. But that doesn’t negate the fact that I am human either.

Any other Americanophobe want to downplay the effect that the financial crisis has on the average American? Come to the US. Trying living in an average to low income zone. Then you can judge. Think all Americans are spoiled rich, read this.

It is people like Borborygme why I dedicate a big FUCK YOU to the rest of the vile sonofabitches in the rest of the world.

UPDATE!!

Oh dear…. it figures. The guy that I had thought was a Frenchman, I just found out today wasn’t. He’s an American yuppy living in California obviously not effected at all by the financial crisis, the bailout, or anything crooked that government has done in its blind movement to become a 3rd world country.
