European media and American media says America, especially southern states, are horrible places to visit. But everytime my countrymen visit they say America is paradise and Americans are the nicest people in the world with the best food. Who is lying?
more of an >>>/int/ pol shit questionPeople who hate the south are people who never went or went once and can't fathom weather isn't predictable as their place back on the west coast or can't walk down to a bodega for a 15 dollar sandwhich grab a six pack and get back to their studio apartment in 10 minutes. Additionally, most liberal people hate the south but can't articulate it because if they do everyone of them would out themselves as not liking the black and brown community that they never have to deal with in their gated environments.In the south to have a really good life you need to do the bare minimum above living on SSRI's, da gubment, and maybe do some yard care; or you're get learned about the urban youth visits. You can live pretty well off in the south/midwest for 40k if you're smart with your money, pay off debt as a priority, and don't try to keep up with the Jones's. After this year of living in Asia(going on 10 years from 24->34), looking to buy a house+car somewhere in Texas or Georgia which the houses I've seen add up to 170k total or ~2 years my saved salary. Property taxes seem to be <1500/yr, utilities aren't that bad, and I'll see how it goes. Have a few friends in the south so might be able to lease a room out.>inb4 NO WHITE WOMEN Every time I go to the south(work requires I go back here and there once a year for training/company planning) it's never a problem, if anything it's easier than the slob shit you get in LA/NYC/FL; where my 110k/yr doesn't turn any heads but in the south I can go to the more upper class stuff an filter out the undesirables. >UH BROWN PPLI always find this argument to be used by poorfags who try and tell themselves they aren't poorfags and simply don't have a grasp on socializing. Yes if I were to go to Buffalo wild wings as "socializing at a bar" but what else are you expecting.The worst things about southern living: Need a car (meh) and summers can be brutal in humidity and pollen.
In the next year or two it will come out this German fag was paid by some American tourism board. Nothing about his social media shit felt organic
>>2899349It's more like>euros slurp up news without question>finally go see it for themselves>wtf it's not like the news said at all>flood of posts people nooticing
>>2899351You’re probably right to an extent. This Freddy guy was not real tho. Him meeting that country superstar at random and all his other shit felt so fucking fake and scripted
>>2899353He didn't meet the famous people at random. He visited America and was enthusiastic and putting off good vibes, people like that. People noticed and he started getting invited to do lots of fun stuff. Doomers like you never prosper because you are miserable and no one wants to be near you.
>>2899351>slurp up news without questionlike how appalachia chuds slurp up /pol/ memes because all the schools in their entire neighborhood are half black from coal burners?
>>2899346The demographics of the South are atrocious, worst in the country. And demographics are destiny. Your entire post is pilpul and filibuster around this basic fact. Don't mind blacks/browns? OK, good for you. Stay in Kenya/Mexico for 1/10th the price and have a way better experience.
>>2899361It was fake. Mark my words faggot. It will be revealed eventually. Completely inorganic
>>2899363>>2899377The only ones who are going to be dealing with that shit are the people who try to do those "I bought a 25k house and fixed it UP!!!!!" lifestyles where you can't change the neighborhood.Learn to live in the suburbs and it's not a problem, oh no you'll need a car just go buy a 10k BMW or some Honda; they aren't hard to find.
Southerners and midwesterners are the last real Americans
>>2899349There's tons and tons of inorganic paid anti American content all over the Internet and elsewhere.
>it's another European/Australian meltdown thread because the USA can actually be affordable if you're willing to move episode>>2899377Yes anon I am sure that's why so many big name companies are starting up shop in these states, the southern states have better reading and high school level proficiency at graduation that "da good big cities". Hell Arkansas/Mississippi is beating LA in schools these days because they want to teach 'black math' in LA.This might be hard for euros to understand but not everything is clumped together in the USA, you can pick and choose your neighborhoods completely ban certain people out of your communities via HOA's. New developments almost never get problem people moving in as well and building houses is pretty easy in southern states. Athens GA is a lott different than Atlanta GA down by the airport which is a lot different than Marietta.Once you just get a car which most anyone in the USA should have if they went to highschool for more than 2 years, it means the city is fully open an most southern cities can be traversed in 1hr or so outside rush hour. Why don't you guys travel there and come back post here once that's done.
>>2899393You can tell it's real because their favorite places were the south among regular people and eating taco bell . Everything the media tells you to hate. Of course this enrages the libtards who claim it's all fake they hate america because they are dysgenic commie's trying to destroy it
>>2899409>taco bell>popular in the south"how do you do fellow americans"
Why are people still posting those low effort astroturfing twitter feeds from the World Cup? You do realize that all these "omg we don't have supermarkets or stadiums in Europe" are completely made up? It's as if you think no one from Europe had ever traveled overseas before.
>>2899415Why are you so angry that tourists love America and Americans
>>2899409Taco Bell is available in Europe and Asia. Nobody is going to America and being blown away by Taco Bell because it's also available in their own town. You fell for an ad campaign. Sorry, fag.
>>2899423Makes it even dumber since even fast food tastes better in Europe due to tighter food regulations.
>>2899424Fast food in Europe is dogshit. Europeans only know brand names of fast food and never go to mom and pop style fast food places so they repeat shit like "well mcdonalds here is better" or "taco bell here is good". Bitch try cookout, some random variation of Filbertos, or any of the food truck markets for some good food. Go to the places you're not able to pay with Buy now pay later or SNAP payments.
>>2899428Fast food sucks everywhere. Imagine being the type of person to get huffy and try to defend your own country or any country's fast food. Pathetic.
>>2899384>Learn to live in the death trap designed by jews to ensure whites die as fast as possible and it's not a problem>>2899394>india superpower 2020, all the companies are moving their manufacturing there, watch out!good luck with your based black men in wakanda or whatever. i'm sure reddit will remember your name.>>2899430>Fast food sucks everywhere. Imagine being the type of person to get huffy and try to defend your own country or any country's fast food. Pathetic.australians unironically do that
>>2899423>>2899424Libtards are even seething and lying about Taco Bell not being in Germany. Lmao they are MAD about American excellance>Publicly accessible Taco Bell restaurants are not open in Germany yet, though a few locations operate exclusively on U.S. military bases.Current Status and PlansMilitary Bases Only: Existing branches are located on U.S. Army bases (such as Ramstein, Wiesbaden, and Spangdahlem) and require base access.
>goes to Texas and Tennessee >favorite food was taco bellBullshit shill is obvious
>>2899450Libtards seething that American Taco Bell is better than Europes most famous cuisine, kebabs and hotdogs
>>2899361This. Sad sacks left reeling
>>2899415>>2899424>>2899428its retarded because i know they have supermarkets in europeffs they have costcos and taco bell in spain the big supermarkets are called hypermarkets outside of americahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hypermarkets#Europelook i hate euros but supermarkets, american fast food, and even suburbs and drivethrus can be had in europe
>>2899448bodied that shithead
>>2899343Out of all the food places in the south they picked taco bell?
>>2899503No. The post was sponsored by Fairhope, Alabama Tourism Bureau and Taco Bell, LLC (TM). All rights reserved.
>>2899469>>2899503There is no taco bells in Germany and no sane person is going to take a train or plane to Spain just to get taco bell from the literal handful at best of general locations where you can find it.
>>2899506https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taco_Bell#Europethe germans treat spain the same way americans treat florida, so yes there is a good chance they probably had it on vacation. germans flock to spain for vacations to the point spaniards complain about them only a little less than brits
>>2899377Yeah well, no one asked you to move down here. Ever.
>>2899504Fairhope is actually a town for the uppercrust. They don't really want or need tourists flocking there.As for Taco Bell, he's a young man.
>>2899540>Fairhope is actually a town for the uppercrust. They don't really want or need tourists flocking there.Well they have an official website with a facebook, youtube, and twitter linked. looks like they're trying to recruit other richfags at least>As for Taco Bell, he's a young man.nah it doesnt add up. its like when athletes do the sprite commercials. you know they dont actually eat or drink that slop
>>2899343Southerners are nice af and the food is down home faire. It'll make you huge but it's fantastically good because it's just meat and salt and fat. Southern cooking is unironically directly drawn from Escoffier's vision of cuisine and one of the last pure examples of it's evolution. >>2899349Your point is that it's impossible to enjoy a culture other than your own while travelling. He might be paid but you're definitely jaded beyond repair.
>>2899543Libtard still seething that everyone loves America and americans.lmao your worldview is shattered
>>2899361ThisYour enjoyment of America is 100% about your moodEven the dreaded blacks are sweet as sugar to a white guy who speaks kindly to them>>2899377It's not better in Mexico lmao. Jesus Christ, why is it always the non travelers who spout the most dogmatic opinions about countries?>>2899377
>>2899601>It's not better in Mexico lmao. Jesus Christ, why is it always the non travelers who spout the most dogmatic opinions about countries?Even the dreaded spics are sweet as sugar to a white guy who speaks kindly to them
As someone who's been to taco hell abroad, specifically in Europe I can understand why he likes the US one probably more. The ones in Finland and the 2 I visited in other parts of europe just suck. The meat is barely there, the presentation is better hands down the the portions are fucked. Got three tacos? enjoy 3 MILD (hehe living dangerously!!) packets of sauce! A soda too no refills.Dude probably walked into a taco bell, was friendly(important) and got a bit extra, followed up by any amount of sauce you want, then the kicker of ability to REFILL soda for FREE AND WITH ICE. I still don't get why at the very least fast food places in the EU don't at LEAST have cold water or water+ICE.
>>2899609>Mexicans>sweetGet real now. You'll never catch a Mexican smiling at a stranger as a friendly greeting. They pride themselves on being macho, not being nice. And can you stop with the retarded trollposting already?
>>2899601>Even the dreaded blacks are sweet as sugar to a white guy who speaks kindly to themGet real now. You'll never catch a black smiling at a stranger as a friendly greeting. They pride themselves on being macho, not being nice. And can you stop with the retarded trollposting already?
>>2899673Fastfood in Europe is grim for lots of reasons, the taste is off, they only give you one thin napkin ,a packet of ketchup is half a euro or more, no refills. It's why they all eat shitty kebabs. Freddy must have felt like he died and went to heaven at taco bell with 50 things to choose from all delicious . Compare that to a kebab shop do you want dog meat kebab or European schoolgirl kebab I prepare with my left hand I wipe with no washing
Jesus Christ jannies wake the fuck up and ban this obnoxious little gremlin who spams every thread with his copypaste retardation
>>2899739>christcuck prays for semitic skydaddy to save his soul>and now he's praying for moddaddies to save his ego from getting BTFOkwab
>>2899739 > Waaaah they can't discuss the most viral travel destination of 2026 waaaaaaah it's not fair that people love to travel in America waaaaaaah reeeeeeeAs a Turk I'm planning a visit this winter ,Freddy gave me lots of great ideas, may even tweet my journey
Didn't he nuke his account to purge all his old tweets because someone dredged up one where he said he lived in california for a year breaking the illusion? Obviously some paid shill shit when he dropped his plans for the miami game to go do american engagement bait up north.
>>2899763Freddy is not only a sensation in America and Germany but also Turkey?
>>2899763>most viral travel destination of 2026Even Mexico and Canada went way more viral in the cup than USA. Check tourist arrival numbers, ever since 2025 USA has had a massive decline in tourists for some strange reason. And it won't recover until 2029.
>>2899785True. USA travel surged to all time highs in 2026 for some reason
>>2899798>Source: I made it up
>>2899798Millions of tourists from the EU in 2026 escaping the Merkel headchoppers. When AOC opens the border in 2029 we could see 30 million European doctor and engineer refugees
>>2899343The south is great to visit and retire in but it’s a pain in the ass to live there
>>2899391>last real Americans>brown Grim
>>2899346The key to living in the South is making northern/california money while living there otherwise
>>2899343Everything you see on the internet is controlled by browns and yellows from shitholes with no freedom like India and China. After you know that then its better to reduce the amount people that talk about our country here.
>>2899785Canada was filled with people calling out how dirty unsafe it is and how rude the people were.
>>2899785>for some strange reason>strange reasonso strange
>>2901905Thanks Big Marco!
>>2899343You really have to ask? The media is connected to the Chi-Coms
>>2899343>food spot is taco bellThat's a yikes from me dog.
>>2899351german here. normies here barely know about alabamas existence, maybe from that sweet home alabama song, but thats it. tennessee is known from the whisky and texas is known for cowboys. the average german couldnt find any of those places on a map and mostly wont ever travel there simply because the flight alone costs 1000eur which breaks german travel budgets.
>>2901818I mean, it really is. Canadians are smug and intolerant, and if you say anything that triggers them they become complete fucking assholes in an instant.
Grew up in the south, and upon moving to a northern state for college I was flabbergasted by how much less congenial everyone was. It wasn't so much that everyone was rude, they just weren't warm. But growing up, I was used to genuinely warm and friendly people.I remember it really sunk in when I had a flat tire on the side of the highway, and the weather is shitty and it's taking me a lot longer than it should have to put on the spare. I realized in that moment that every other time in my life I'd had car trouble, someone had stopped and helped me. Usually some older dude who just saw someone having a bad day and wanted to help them out.Suffice to say I did eventually move back.
>>2899414Taco Bell is popular everywhere, including the South
>>2905237https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-DDFnp22A8Yeah, I mean we are just like Europe without the ancient and medieval stuff but more spaced out. Filled with snakes and freedom I guess.We don't really expect you guys to travel here. When I lived in Florida I was surprised how popular it was with Euros actually.
>>2899343Idk about the South because I've never been, but I've been to the US a few times as an European for work, always east coast and midwest/appalachia. It's not the worst place I've been to, but I dislike it for several different reasons>plenty of poverty in full display, both in urban and in rural areas>architecture tends to be either really ugly or really boring (there are exceptions though)>stupidly expensive, especially hotels, also eating out>cities with good public transport are few, no real HSR to speak of to move between cities, you just need a car to go most placesOn the flipside American people do tend to be usually pleasant to interact with, but I always struggled to tell whether they were being nice because they are nice or because it's some kind of acted script. I noticed Americans do tend to "act" when in public settings, it's hard to describe, but I'll give an example:>in my country, when person is tired, they'll usually say "I'm tired, I'll go to sleep" and go to sleep>in the US, when a person is tired, they'll do a stretch-yawn combo like actors do in movies to signal that a character is tired, then they'll proclaim "wow, it's getting late. I should definitely go to sleep" and then go to sleepI noticed stuff like that in every interaction, both with servers at restaurants and with regular people and colleagues I interacted with. There are positive sides to the US, but it's not a place I'd ever visit for fun I think
>>2908212US is a good country to flout the law, drive 100+ mph on back roads while under the influence of multiple drugs, shoot guns at street signs, etc. You can get away with so much in the USA that you could never get away with in other countries. Lately I've noticed much less performative behavior in Americans (waitresses excepted, they are fake as fuck). They don't smile or talk to you unless they genuinely feel like smiling or socializing. But they do apologize if they get in your way. Politeness to avoid conflicts is almost universal in the states where anyone can be legally carrying a gun. Also for all the stereotype of loud hearty Americans, it'll shock you how many people in suburbia are introverted and insecure, especially millennials and younger. Too little social mingling in public spaces. "Beating around the bush", we call it. If you abruptly say you're tired and going to sleep, people will think you got butthurt by something they said. So you have to be indirect. Anxiety is very common here, and anxious people are always worrying about shit like that. When you have so few friends you genuinely like, you can't afford to alienate any of them with a careless word.
>>2908217>US is a good country to flout the law, drive 100+ mph on back roads while under the influence of multiple drugs, shoot guns at street signs, etc. You can get away with so much in the USA that you could never get away with in other countries.most litigious country in the world. most lawyers per capita, most criminals per capita, and highest prison population in world history. drive slow
>>2908115>freedomTrump's America is far less free than any other western country.
>>2908218it really depends which stateif you take backroads in wv or eastern kentucky you may not see a cop for hours but virginia is chock full of them and its funny in southern states they hate government and funding government but they are fine with lots of cops everywhereI hate the "you have to go 9 mph over the limit and keep track of it constantly changing or people will tail you or you get a ticket" game that you have to play, there's no grace in America, just rigidity and a fetish for confrontation
>>2908294>I hate the "you have to go 9 mph over the limit and keep track of it constantly changing or people will tail you or you get a ticket"I throw that fucker in cruise control exactly 1mph under the limit. i larp as a boomer and make the wagies seethe.
>>2908292As an European, I have to disagree.
>>2899343They're good to visit, but they suck to live. The South is basically a wasteland of rural poverty and nigga moments between the Texas Triangle and the I-85 corridor that includes Atlanta and the Research Triangle. New Orleans is the epitome of this. Really cool to visit. Really awful to live with low pay, crime, and crumbling infrastructure. And it's not even the worst city to live in its own state.
