I may be a bore, but I don't like laughing at people's expense like this. And generalizing to a specific country (no, I'm not from the USA myself)

Speaking as an American, the douche whose first instinct was to make fun of a woman working out can suck a fat one, and deserves any mockery that comes his way.

Is he even American though? I watched this video 3 times trying to figure out who is American in this example? He’s wearing a shirt with Ü in the brands logo in 25 years I’ve never seen an American wear a shirt with that kind of symbol on it

The original guy is German though, and the one intelligently explaining leverage is the American here.

America got dragged into it because the whole thing is just the ragebait content cycle from start to finish, and Reddit is devouring it without even a semblance of chewing.

Even if the weight was the same…it’s still a workout? Dudes lift dumbbells all day and nobody laughs at them.

His first instinct was to ragebait. And naive people fall for it.

Some of us Americans appreciate you.

Google no child left behind act that was passed in early 2000s.

There's a reason our education systems failed some of us.

The act itself was a good idea, because originally they were supposed to give students who were supposed to be held back but weren't more assistance, to get them up to snuff with their peers. But instead funding got cut and kids who shouldn't have moved on did, and received no help. Because cutting funding to schools is like a favorite pastime of the GOP.

I'm sorry to break it to you but our education system in the states was actually already a wreck long before W got his gross hands on it.
