Great video where this girl who is originally from the US explains reverse culture shock when she traveled back to the US after living in Italy.

At least there are a few American women to keep it real about the US of insanity for f***s sake...On another note, there are absolutely ZERO videos of American expats making videos saying "I'm so glad to be back in America after living abroad. It's so much better back home here in the US!".

Patriotism in America kind of reminds me of how my old college was. You couldn't say anything negative about my old college to any students there. To people who don't go to my school none of them seem to mind comparing and contrasting the positives and negatives of their college/campus. At my college, however, nothing other then complete and 100% "everything is wonderful" was acceptable. I was literally screamed at once by an alumni for just saying that "I liked it there" instead of saying that I loved it. It was honestly cult-like.

Now in recent years, I don't think its been as extreme in America. Obviously leftists love to bash America. Among mainstream conservatives though, what she said is still true. It feels like you can't criticize America for any reason, even to claim that its too socially liberal. If you tell mainstream conservatives that countries like Indonesia, the Philippines, and Japan are more authentically conservative then "conservative states" in the US are, some of them flip out and start acting like SJWs... Saying that those countries don't respect freedom or women's rights and negatively say that those countries believe women's place is in the home. Basically proving my point that a lot of American conservatives are fake conservatives.

America is a nearly 4 million square mile military boot camp. Rushed like mad, expecting you to die for your boss, 24 hour hamster wheel schedules governed solely by the Earth's rotation.

Have you ever noticed that no one can truly relax in the US? Even when people are "hanging out", no one truly looks calm, chill, or relaxed.

Great video. It's good to see white women admitting the f***ing truth. She's right when she made the below observations:

(In America) I've noticed that friendliness can be shallow. Americans are into small talk and gossip and pettiness.

(In other countries) Cut through the small talk and get straight to really deep existential and philosophical things......
