That's not first world countries, that's human nature.

someone get some febreeze for this enlightened fedora stench

That's like the whole western world nowadays. Like.. someone decides something is "this", if you think it should be "that" you get hanged from a window down the plaza.

i think that really just comes down to people , not countries.

 

[tae]

it's not about the country, it's about people as a whole. this **** happens everywhere.

But what if you're intolerant to intolerance?

 

[tobi!]

people can have different opinions? if someone doesn't agree with you, they've been brainwashed?

i don't understand what it is you're asking. are you trying to bash America?

 

[That Zephyr Guy]

my issue was intolerance or poking fun at other's ideas rather than contributing or listening to the opposite perspective regardless of how you feel.

Which you also said while making fun of all the people you disagree with. Super hypocritical.

Just because you view things differently doesn't automatically put you in the right - maybe take your own advice and see it from their perspective?

your entire op was about people piratically being sheep and that you feel it might just be an american thing for idiots to follow the masses. what point are you trying to make / what is your question? you're just throwing around some sentences with little to no idea of what you're actually trying to convey here.

I was about to type this.

People you disagree with, you tell them they have been brainwashed when really they may have just formed that opinion like you have formed your opinion.

i mean all i got outta that was that you call people who share a common mindset brainwashed and "buhbuhbuh sensitive mindless sheeple" but aight

 

[tobi!]

not at all. If I consider myself above any other person the relevance of this question goes out the window. I am very proud to be an American. I can entirely understand someone else's perspective and I will gladly ask for it. I consider brainwashing when people stand up on their soap box demanding this or that and branding anyone else a fool or a terrorist etc

Well, I don't understand the "brainwash" thing? If someone with a different opinion spouts it at people and the people listen, that is brainwashing? What if someone with your opinion spouts something at people? Is that not brainwashing?

I'm honestly trying to understand. Are "brainwashed" people just people who hold a common mindset like "don't murder" or "don't steal"?

If you mean "do people follow other people blindly?" then yes, many do. However, it is absolutely not just an American thing.
