Happy 250th USA!
"I just discovered you at Quillette and the discussion about oikofobia, very nice! I almost forgot the 250-years anniversary of the USA, as it was so little about it on Norwegian media. Just late yesterday evening I watched a clip from my wife scrolling YouTube, where Trump ride on a very nice train, I think he arrived in Dakota somewhere? Only Iranians love the USA and Israel here, they're very brave!!! The latter years I dug up the history of my great-great-great-grandfather Ovren Mikkelson, who emigrated to Cambridge, Wisconsin in 1871, 73 y.o., together with four kids. But nobody cares, neither here or there. It seems like the connection between Europe and the USA is gone." - PermaLiv "Thank you, and yes, it's quite sad to see how baselessly despised we are by many Europeans. But sometimes it's a bit of a love-hate relationship: many Europeans do harbor a reluctant admiration or curiosity about the U.S. and hate that they do." - Benedict Beckeld ...
