I know, I know. People on this platform seem to hate America. Apparently, merely mentioning the country is enough to summon immediate vitriol. But the truth is, most of America doesn’t look like the worst parts of it. Sure, there are places that do, don’t get me wrong, and they’re usually clustered around some of the old industrial and automotive corridors.
But I’ve driven through the Smoky Mountains and along the South Carolina shoreline, and honestly, calling the scenery breathtaking almost feels inadequate. There are places in this country where you can drive for hours with mountains rising around you, or watch the sun disappear over the coastline, and you’re reminded just how enormous and beautiful this place really is.
And yes, our politics are horrific, and the orange man is almost cartoonishly evil. I’m not going to pretend otherwise. But America is more than its politics, more than its politicians, and certainly more than the loudest voices screaming about it online.
There is something worth loving here. The landscapes. The people. The sheer variety of this country. The fact that you can drive across it and pass through entirely different worlds without ever leaving the same nation.
America has plenty of things worth criticizing. But it also has plenty of things worth cherishing.
And maybe those two things don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
Huh? This is England v Canada beef
Why does the text have that AI glow?
Who cares, it’s not AI. But, I wish it was just to bother you.

McDonald’s is not a positive.

TIL, I had no clue Ryan Gosling came from Fake London, an obvious shithole.
Hurtful
Oh I’m sorry, did I offend you and your love of concrete hellscapes full of gas stations, strip malls; lining endless stroads with wide lanes clogged with penis enhancing oversized, non-hauling trucks. Truly a modern marvel of urban design that is inviting for living-- not.
You just described most cities in North America
Yes, I’m offended.
Man, that must really suck. I feel for you bro, I really do. Thoughts and prayers you quickly recover from this setback. God bless ✌️
I can spot your account a mile away. (That’s a good thing)
Also London Ontario has some nice areas and some shitty areas like anywhere else but it’s not a bad city all in all. I don’t think I’d move there but I’ve been many times and it’s alright.
I’m amazed there isn’t a New London.
But then again, why would you leave the original london and go anywhere?
There are 15 "New London"s in the USA, plus others in Canada, Bermuda, and Norway, it turns out
New London is a shitty town in Connecticut
We should just build a wall around onterrible so they can’t leak in to other provinces anymore
Worst place about living in London Ontario. You’re living in London Ontario
