Not being subject to US foreign policy.

It's very pretty. Like there are truly, wonderously beautiful places in the us. There's genuine wilderness. Not much, but there's some. The people can be very cool. There's a lot of good food.

If you enjoy sugar than oh boy are we the country for you

the free access to public bathrooms is increasingly less true for parts of some cities that are trying to be hostile to the unhoused population.

lots of locked bathrooms and "CUSTOMERS ONLY" crap. very exciting stuff to experience if you've gotta go while walking around in an unfamiliar city.

when people complain about shit and piss on the streets of their city, as far as I'm concerned they are telling on themselves for living in a city that gate keeps extremely basic facilities.

Diversity, both of people and geography. You can find a much wider spectrum of people (ethnicities, etc.) than in many other countries, and experience almost every biome the planet has to offer with some truly spectacular natural features.

We are, of course, doing our best to get rid of both those positive things.

Public land. There is so much of it in yankieland and it really is so amazing. However, Native Americans should be in control of all public land as a part of landback.

Ice with drinks without asking

Free flowing treats

The food is amazing bc of the diversity

I would challenge your bathroom claim, they may as well not exist and are disgusting

black american art and music

Honestly despite everything, the US is overall extremely diverse. If you're in a major city you have access to a huge amount of cultural diversity and it's all available to you. You can go to street festivals. You can go to restaurants. You can go to art shows and poetry slams and book readings and movies and music and anything and everything and it's all right around the corner from you if you just go look. It's one of the best parts of the US for sure.

The level of junk food so much more advanced. I'm vegan, I went to the Northeast ten years ago, and the amount and quality of vegan ice cream, cakes, etc blew me away.

Something I’m old enough to remember… it used to be that it was reasonably affordable to buy a high-mileage used car and just drive it until it couldn’t run anymore, then get another one. That’s why my dad did his whole life. Driving sucks I would infinitely prefer public transport but if you’re gonna make car ownership a requirement to live at least make it cheap.

Then Obama did the Cash for Clunkers program, which absolutely obliterated the cheap used car market and it hasn’t recovered since. It was a not-so-hidden giveaway to the car companies because it put a lot of people into situations where you had to buy a new car, thanks Obama.

I'm pretty sure nearly every country has those three to some extent.

4. ???

NYC public metro is pretty cool, maybe it's just because I was raised in NYC but I still think it's a cool thing. Too bad they're going to sell it to some Israeli dumbfuck when Zionism collapses.

ITT: People listing things that aren't unique to America because they've never left and don't have any point of comparison

indigenous nations

i get to live in a place with bears, wolves and lions

chicken fried steak, biscuits and gravy

weed's more legal than in most countries

big enough that you can still disappear into the bushes

legally enshrined firearm worship inadvertently means you can defend yourself against fascists

me

People love to shit on the south, but the food is delicious. You'll need a nap afterwards, but it's unlike anything I've had elsewhere in the country.

you can turn right at red lights and stores are open at 11pm

I remember that Americans were more upfront and friendly than other countries. I'm unsure if that's still true.

most of these depend on the state you live in but I live in commiefornia so:

• weed
• lgbt people
• secular
• lots of protected wilderness you can walk around in
• can talk shit about politicians
• can take money from casinos

My city is one of the best places on earth to be trans, as far as being normalized and culturally-supported. The rest of this country is very not, but this oasis is pretty rad.

Free heavy metal poisoning

In some areas, there is an absence of the liberal poverty and imperialist violence that the US usually exports to other countries.

Also arent ~~most of~~ all those "national parks" on stolen land...

being able to throw poopy toulet paper down the toilet is pretty nice, so that you don't have to see it all piled up in public restrooms whoch can be kinda gross.

IME, and surprisingly, the public libraries here are better than other countries

Library density is unparalleled.

Ice in drinks, at least if they clean the ice machine regularly

I've never been to USA and I've never been in a restaurant that didn't offer free tap water, I feel like this myth comes from yankees going to the worst tourist traps available
