Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Americans really think they own the world sometimes, and truly underestimate the disdain the world has for them.

That is the opposite of unpopular.

We really don't have disdain for the Americans. Most Americans I've met have been great.

I, as someone in a third world country, absolutely hate US foreign policy. Fuck you, we almost had a democracy for a minute. We didn’t need your highways either.

But you can’t blame these actions in the people of the US, as nor the army nor the FBI, CIA, and the other three letters are democratic.

We do own the world, and its not that we don't underestimate their disdain for us, we just don't care because we don't have to

We are special
