Millions of Japanese people are confused as to why Americans would make fun of a national tragedy like 9/11.

Why do Americans do it?

Japan doesn't do it.

Japan is a strong unified country with a sense of pride and honor unlike muttcornsyrupslopgolemerica.

Why are americans so evil?

Obesity, usury, debt slavery, school shootings, opioid epidemics, violent urban centers, anti-tradition, no culture, no healthcare, no infrastructure, protestantism, philosemitism. The list goes on.

From my years long studies I concluded that mericans hate nothing more than other americans and their suffering is their greatest joy

There's a reason why America is the greatest sports nation in the entire world.

Everything is a sport to them.

It's Red Team vs. Blue Team.

If you ain't makin' somebody mad, you ain't tryin'.

Americans hate other Americans more than anyone else. Until a foreigner makes fun of America then all Americans suddenly love each other.

>>216895959
This. All I want in life is to see North Korea nuke California, as I'm sure many there feel the same about Flyover Country.
>>
>>216895959
Bingo. Also note that most American media is the most anti-American media you can find. I find it funny when people think being anti-US is somehow rebelling against the US when that's mostly what people grew up with in media, particularly around MTV.
>>
>>216894308
The wonderful thing about having no culture is that the US can 180 into an entirely different culture almost overnight and everything that happened prior gets memoryholed. Obesity rates were like 10-15% in the 90s and the US had a reputation for being athletic chuds in the 1980s with an obsession for bodybuilding. Even in the 2000s the most common alt scene was emo and that almost entirely disappeared, I swear EVERY girl was a skinny rake with pale skin and black hair.
>>
When I was a kid, I used to believe that the average American was very intelligent because there are so many top quality universities in their country. It seems the internet has only served to destroy all the hard work put in by the traditional American media to promote the American image globally. My life has been a lie
>>
>>216893756
For nips, think of America like the Roman Empire, and not in a good way.

It's a hodgepodge of a bunch of different ethnicities and peoples, often who don't have relations with each other even if they are of the same race. There is very little societal cohesion. Somebody from Texas does not give a shit about people from NY and somebody from California doesn't care about people from Tennessee, and so forth.

States are wildly different to each other. When i'd vacation in other states with my parents it was almost like being in another country.

This is why Americans are comfortable joking about tragedies because they just don't care, because they don't see the people who were affected by 9/11 as THEIR people.

The Internet? American media does it to itself. What positive American media have you watched? South Park? Idiocracy? Jackass? The Internet started out as a DARPA project before it privatized, they could have just done PBS styled propaganda with it, but instead they deliberately decided to lampoon themselves.

>>216893756
Khyle isn't even American, he's Filipino

>>216897016
I thought most of the satire were just exaggerations and served as warnings for what real problems may emerge.
I think American social media has changed the way all non-Americans think about the US of A for the worst. You guys really need a Chinese style national firewall for damage control
>>
>>216896913
Heh, sounds like what happened to pajeets. It’s pretty recent phenomenon. I think it’s around the time the gang rape stuff got into news. Perhaps 15 years ago?

Japanese "humor" is insular and only understood by omega super S tier autistics like Germans

>>216897206
No I'm pretty sure they do it on purpose otherwise everyone would move to the US for higher wages they don't want to pay and demand it on terms of competition. If they kept the same reputation they did in the 80s with no USSR the whole world would be here. If it wasn't for the Simpsons and constant satire, which didn't really outline any social problems at the time. If you look at the early South Park episodes there's little social commentary, it was being grungy for the sake of it. If the US didn't overemphasize that it has problems, even to the extent of literally making them up, suddenly everyone wants to imitate the US and the autists that run the US still wanted data from different economic systems. If the Yugoslav war didn't make it abundantly clear balkanization was always the endgame for US foreign policy, they definitely didn't want a federated EU.

The Japanese literally need facecams showing comedians laughing to show the viewer that they should laughing as well.

>>216895959
pretty much. if the cities of LA, SF, and Seattle were nuked, the country would improve drastically.

Why jeets and muslimes hate japan so much?

>>216893756
the alternative to joking about 9/11 is forever worshipping it and the retarded self-destructive wars and government overreach it caused

It's not really Americans. It's just that American humor is left-wing humor, given that the authoritarian left has mainstream American "culture" by the balls. That means they can make fun of everyone and everything that conservatives, patriots and normal people value, but they never make fun of anything on the left, despite the fact that there is far more insane things to make fun of on the left than on the right. Another thing is that the left doesn't value humor for the sake of humor. They only use it as a weapon or a tool for ridiculing people. That's why they're incapable of laughing at themselves, or making humor with general appeal. It's always propaganda.
Of course, you still have humor that makes fun of the left, but that's more of a private or underground thing among normal people, and almost never shows up in any mainstream setting.

>authoritarian left has mainstream American "culture" by the balls
Maybe like 20 years ago this was true. 5 seconds on Twitter now tells a different story, the algorithm blatantly favors the other side. It's not the old boomer style patriotic conservatives, it's the New Right. It's a bizarre blend between conservatism, revolutionary politics, and cynicism. Also watching any episode of Kill Tony (literally the biggest comedy show right now) it's all anti-woke humor, completely. Even 10 years ago SJW OWNED compilations were far more common than anything favoring the left, did you like stop using the Internet between 2014 and the present? The left has been a complete punching bag.
>>
>>216898697
No, 20 years ago the situation wasn't nearly as bad. The current shit started around 2014, and has defined culture since. It doesn't fucking matter if people are bitching and whining about it on twitter, when every piece of media and every institution supports the woke shit. People even voted for Trump to stop it, but that only made it worse.
Also, the new right completely fucking failed. There was a lot of hope in 2014, when conservatives, centrists and even liberals tired of the radical left came together to form a new right that didn't follow the dead end Republican way of thinking. Of course, that shit died almost instantly due to infighting and grifters taking over, and today it's an unholy mess of thirdies and "patriots" unironically shilling for enemy countries and commie shitholes. Everything's fucked.

>>216898953
The mainstream media since like 2010 has been social media. Legacy media 20 years ago was full of liberals, it's just back then people actually liked George Carlin, Michael Moore was taken seriously, and comedy central was full of leftist comedians. It's surreal to me that 20 years ago even 4chan liked Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart was considered edgy. By 2014 legacy media was near completely dead, the Internet took it over and immediately people started lampooning the old model of liberalism, even Destiny claims that he only got his career off the ground because everyone else was trying to ape onto the gamergate train spouting the same talking points. How else would someone like Ethan Ralph have one of the biggest streams in the mid 2010s if he wasn't pandering to the mainstream? Old media people literally can't believe the numbers that social media pulls, their best ratings were average at best compared to what Youtube pulls.

No one under the age of 30 remembers 9/11, and unless you lived in the Tri-State Area you probably don’t know anyone who lost friends or family in it.

There's a whole board dedicated to complaining about jews as a stand-in for political commentary. Somehow a fake country that didn't exist before 1948 occupies another fake country. Crazy it's almost like none of it exists in any meaningful way.

It's not bad if you outsource your grievances to another country. There's definitely a correlation between negativity bias and lowering standards.

Not really. If you aren't spending beyond your means, you shouldn't be paying like 14% p.a. on your credit card bills

The anti-American alliance is made up of self-loathing liberals who blame the Americans for every ill in the Third World, and conservatives suffering from power-envy, bitter that the world's only superpower can do what it likes without having to ask permission. The truth is that America has behaved with enormous restraint since September 11. Remember, remember.

Remember the gut-wrenching tapes of weeping men phoning their wives to say, "I love you," before they were burned alive. Remember those people leaping to their deaths from the top of burning skyscrapers.

Remember the hundreds of firemen buried alive. Remember the smiling face of that beautiful little girl who was on one of the planes with her mother. Remember, remember - and realise that America has never retaliated for 9/11 in anything like the way it could have.

So a few al-Qaeda tourists got locked without a trial in Camp X-ray? Pass the Kleenex.

So some Afghan wedding receptions were shot up after they merrily fired their semi-automatics in a sky full of American planes? A shame, but maybe next time they should stick to confetti.

I love America, yet America is hated. America is hated because it is what every country wants to be - rich, free, strong, open, optimistic. Or do you really think the USA is the root of all evil?

Tell it to the loved ones of the men and women who leaped to their death from the burning towers. Tell it to the nursing mothers whose husbands died on one of the hijacked planes, or were ripped apart in a collapsing skyscraper. And tell it to the hundreds of young widows whose husbands worked for the New York Fire Department. To our shame, George Bush gets a worse press than Saddam Hussein.

Remember, remember, September 11. One of the greatest atrocities in human history was committed against America!

No, do more than remember. Never forget.

Very anti-Semitic comment.

>>216893756
It's a HOAX and nationwide outrage, nothing about the event is sincere or transparent or organic
Making fun of it is their copium because they cant really do anything about their overlords. Well they can but they're conformist pussies.
