I don't know which is the worse of Americans abroad, Liberals or Conservatives. Liberals do this God awful shit but conservatives will slur you.
It's a tricky one here's my findings:
So like you just can't win cos if you don't give them a glare before they open their holes then you're now stuck listening about how American is better, our politics are stupid and we are choosing to destroy our country instead of following their example. Liberal or Conservative, that insane perception exists.
Conservatives are easier to put on tilt by laughing and pointing out their insanity and how much of an embarrassment they using big words.
Liberals don't fucking stop. It's like their holiday comes second to forcing their politics down others throats to the point we've seen them get thrown out of bars over it.
I think it's the difference between American conservatives being able to gish gallop other Americans with buzz words vs American liberals having some understanding however illiterate.
So like when I've met American conservatives if you just cut them off and call out their bs as nonsense American shit everyone else in the world laughs at them for, it usually stuns them since white Americans aren't used to being told to fuck off apparently and they just tut and call you rude and "this isn't what I expected British people to be like".
Liberals take that ego hit and funnel it into legitimate harassment because they truly believe they are correct and it's akin to when Christians keep trying to convert people because they genuinely believe they are preventing someone from going to hell.
In my experience.
We live in a world where people think “speaking confidently” means “knowledgeable”. My English teacher brought this up in 2002.
I used to go to uni with someone who had mastered this.
Failed both uni courses mummy and daddy paid for but it's fine cos dad's got that sweet business position waiting.
I hate them.
