    I’m also an American, and this is 100% accurate. My countrymen are assholes, and the only thing they’ve ever cared about are problems that directly affect them.

      Huh, I’m American and I’m surrounded by people who are incredibly kind and nurturing and will bend over backwards to help others. Sounds like you live in a shit part of the country if you only have assholes near you.
