All right, my friend, I respect your point of view, even if we don"t reach a consensus, in the end the most important thing is the possibility of having a dialogue.

Well in our harmless, ineffectual opinion, there is no such thing as "simply" an opinion, expressions of opinions have real, material consequences. I wonder how many, of the five people that will ever read this string of comments, have EVER heard someone say they truly would rather live in a communist country? For us it"s worth it to open even just one person"s eyes to the ways that most anti-communist propaganda, whether consciously or unconsciously spread, is actually describing capitalism, and doesn"t have much to do with communism at all.

It"s not about whether these people are right or wrong, it"s simply their opinion, and they are free to make their own views. If I were to argue with what they say, I would say that Brazil is practically a continent, and the contrast between regions is great. The city where I currently live, for example, is called "Gramado-RS" and is undoubtedly safer than many cities in European countries.

Well, then you clearly have a soft spot for communist countries, and I respect that. My point is, the United States, to me, based on everything I"ve researched and heard, would certainly be a more interesting place to live than Venezuela, China, Cuba, and Vietnam. But that"s just my opinion. And I say that taking into account cultural factors, far beyond the political regime.

I actually heard from people who do not live in Brazil that Brazil is not violent. Are they more or less right than the people you heard who said that Brazil is violent?

To answer your question I"ve kept dodging, where else would I go? I"d go to China, Vietnam, Cuba, the DPRK, anywhere in Europe, even Canada would be an improvement over the US. Not saying any places I didn"t mention are worse than the US, just these ones I am certain are better, many of which I have visited personally.

You say that I think I have authority, and that is just your statement. I am simply stating my opinion. Am I not free to express my opinion? People who do not live in Brazil, for example, say that the country is violent, and they are right. People from other countries talk about the oppression in Venezuela, and they are right. You want to oppress those who think differently than you, instead of simply discussing it. My opinion may not be worth anything to you, but I am free to have it, whether you like it or not.

You find this "embarrassing" or simply silly, and I respect that. You have never formed any contradictory thoughts, and have only poured out my enormous amount of hatred and contempt. And yes, your behavior is that of a traditional internet boomer.

You"re "speaking well" of a country you"ve never been to or lived in yet feel have the authority to comment on? It"s like if I were to comment on Brazil, I"d have no idea what I was talking about. It"s like if I said I loved grapes but had never actually tried them.

You"re spewing some lame rhetoric you"ve read online and seen on TV and have zero actual idea what you"re talking about, and it"s embarrassing for you. I don"t have to diminish what you"re saying when it"s shit from the start. It"s even more embarrassing that you"re calling me a "boomer " and have no idea what that even means, lol. You"re a mindless shill, nothing more.

I"m sorry you don"t have a better education, hopefully that change one day. Love and kisses. <3

"Look, if someone thinks differently than me, I have to insult them by calling them a monkey."

Someone who doesn"t live in a country can"t speak well of it. It"s like saying white people can"t discuss racism. "I can"t argue, I have to diminish what the person says."

"Copy and past" made me laugh. Boomer being boomer, it"s no different here.

Hilarious that the dude copy and pasting 1950"s anti-communist rhetoric while pretending to have any education on what he"s talking about is calling me a boomer. The jokes write themselves, everyone. Maybe this monkey, who doesn"t even live in the country he"s blindly defending, can use his free Steam Points to buy a functioning brain stem.

I understand your criticism of the "American Dream" and all the media hype surrounding it. My point is, where would be a good place to live? Switzerland? Finland? Australia? I ask this without any irony.

Now, to my point that people always want to enter the US and almost never try to leave. It"s very simple, permission to enter the country is very difficult to obtain. Everyone I know reports that it is good to live in this country, I rarely see negative reports or people who try to leave and fail. It"s all about supply and demand. I don"t think American nationalism is affecting this, but nothing more than empirical knowledge, it"s just the way things are.

Imagine an image of a giant octopus, with its tentacles wrapped around the planet. No, not the ones you"ve perhaps seen before of a communist Chinese or Russian octopus. Now, put a little US flag on the head of that octopus.

Consider how many countries in the world there are that don"t know who, say, Spiderman is. That haven"t heard the US referred to as "the land of the free" or "leader of the free world". That would read articles from the New York Times and see it as anything other than a reputable and honest source of news.

And while non-American news and textbook producers might not be owned by Americans (or they might be, it"s certainly not impossible), you have to consider their influences and what role models they might be trying to emulate.

And let"s not forget, more than 700 US military bases around the world.

I think you should explain your line of thought. How do people from outside the US decide they want to enter the US, without any influence from US propaganda?
