This post is, and I am not using the term to be hyperbolic or insulting, pathological. If we need songs to prove the point, Hank Williams, undoubtedly an American man, wrote "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" in 1949.


>This post is ... pathological.

Flattery will get you nowhere.

>Hank Williams

Alcoholic, died age 29, sings about how he is lonely, like other alcoholics do.

British singer describes how he's afraid of Americans.

You see the difference, right? The current generation, the weak ones, they like to sing about how tough they are. "Heathens" or "Royals" is the typical sort of chest puffing bragging about their own prowess.

That's a lot different from outsiders describing their fear of your kind in song.
