Even that is like a mile of land off a highway just framed to look like it's super compact and consumerist. Europeans are fucking retarded and I refuse to acknowledge them as people.
Euros are incapable of understanding places like Breezewood because they don't have a highway system like ours and because they don't understand that their countries are, for the autists, Switch sized, while America is a full-sized tower PC. For the Euros, there are highway exits that develop what we call Rest Stops, because crossing a state in America takes hours and crossing the country takes days, you could probably do it in 3 or so if you were able to drive without stopping, a week if you're sane. So market forces create places where people can eat, refuel their vehicles, stay overnight, etc. The town their named for is usually nearby, it's not the rest stop area itself. This confuses and frightens the Eurocuck though, so don't expect them to get it.

Great if you've done a lot of road trips in America, but you do run the risk of getting the Big Sky Country bug and then you'll hate urban build up forever.
 
Eh this is really only Germans and that’s because of WWII. If you go to Europe you’ll see flags everywhere. They just hate American patriotism because the media feeds them bullshit about us being uncultured rednecks who shoot people.

Clearly they're super misinformed. Its two groups of people! Uncultured rednecks and blacks who are shooting people.
 
I can't wait for Europe to start boycotting 100% American imports like LGBT ideology and Critical Race Theory.
not a chance with uk right off the coast acting as a bridgehead. but even if they go even more retarded than they usual are and close themselves off, europe would still have to deal with france...

With bad teeth, no less.
every time this topic comes up I really like the inevitable irony of "yuros are dumb for thinking burgers are fat, uneducated retards" with a fictional list of epic owns, and then proving them right by thinking everyone in europe is a britbong.
 
Pussy.

I did Atlantic Ocean to Texas in 16 hours, with 4 stops at places like that.

Edit: Austin sucks BTW.
That's just like half way, but it is doable, especially if you consider speed limits as more like guidelines or suggestions. My family took a summer back in the days before NAFTA ruined things and went from Lon Guyland to Arizona and back, stopped with family and friends along the way, lots of camping. That MythoAmerica twitter account hits me right in the feels and I hate seeing what my country has become, because I remember what she was. I don't care if Trump's tariffs crash the global economy with no survivors, it won't ever go back to the way things were, but getting back to something like that is worth the risk.
 
Boston to San Francisco is almost 50 hours

Yeah, that would be tough, probably 48 hours straight driving. I would have to start after a full 8 hours sleep.

I rigorously comply will all traffic regulations, since the repeal of the national 55mph limit, most highway travel is between 70-85 mph(112 kph- 135kph).
 
So, in other words, India wants to redeem.
The funny thing is the Chinese and the Indians are a lot a like, the Chinese are more intelligent and more competent, but their cultural arrogance leads them to do dumb shit. Remember, the Chinese refer to themselves as the "Middle Kingdom," or more accurately "The Central (Most Important) Kingdom in all the world." Narcissism is baked in and it's why they still seethe over the Century of Humiliation, because it shows they weren't number one. If you want a funny, the Japanese term for the Chinese Shinajin, literally Chinaman, drives them up the wall because it doesn't refer to their status as central kingdomers and how dare the Japanese not bend the knee. Imperial Japan was directionally correct about China.
 
Boomers are the way they are because the victors of WWII wanted them that way. Consumerism went into overdrive along with mass media. Edward Bernays wrote Crystallizing Public Opinion in 1923, and Propaganda in 1928. But, propaganda didn't end after WWII. It just rebranded as Public Relations (1945). Edward Bernays last book was The Engineering of Consent in 1955.

Media companies were able to shape the views of people on a mass scale. Hollywood and TV programming were very effective. Winning WWII was very lucrative for them.

I like to recommended Adam Curtis' documentary.

anyone who actually lived through that time or knows more about it, feel free to correct me or add context. just trying to understand the bigger picture here
Everything you said is wrong. You come from the premise that more government = more good. This is an incorrect and absurd reductive take. This makes sense if you got your info from commies like Howard Zin.

This is why they believe everything on TV and constantly have to have TVs going. It's sad, my parents, both 1940s actual baby boom boomers, raised us to not spend much time in front of the TV and now they can't live without it and are shocked us kids don't watch stuff. They're the first mass media generation and it's a lot like Zoomies being the first real smart phone generation.
