Been in the states for 30 years after leaving the soviet union.
It's amplified just how bad it is in some states while others are prospering.
This country can only go so far at this rate maybe at most another 20 years before it implodes.
The negative news and criticism of the American government by Americans is what has made America as great as it is.
Focusing on the issues is what has fixed them.
I agree that the negative American news is unnecessary and exaggerated.
Brother, this is exactly what we were talking about at my house. Completely agree.
Public Librarian here. Thanks for campaigning for one of the most underutilized public resources.
When I will be a mother, you bet we'll always go there :) I want library to be cool again X( thank you for your work
@@mcrosevtuber3056Stop holding yourself back and start going now! I use the library as a sort of third place where I can relax and get a coffee and de-stress. Its great stuff
I love libraries they are awesome 👌 they are massively underused.
@@mcrosevtuber3056 When my son was 2 I saw a DVD 💽 in the library and I thought my son would *_LOVE_* it, ❤ so I rented it. When I got home I discovered I didn't have a DVD player any more, so I couldn't play it. I took it back to the library and -- after a while -- they gave me my money back! 💸
I am a Canadian, and have been fantastically spoiled by wonderful public libraries. During the 1980s, I travelled the US east coast by boat. We would often check out the public libraries. They were a marvelous resource, but relative to Canada's system, they were underfunded, IMO, and many were struggling. I was told that the US has private libraries, which I had never heard of. Still, every single library we stopped to visit did their very best to keep the stacks full, and offered an array of interesting events, something for every age, daytime and evenings too. In my one year adventure, one of the best evenings was Movie Night in Charleston SC, where my waterlogged boyfriend and I were invited to watch African Queen with about 50 other people during a rainstorm. And another was in a "poor" library, where the librarian answered my questions about Gullah culture for nearly an hour, and told me why there were so few books on the shelves.
About 20 years later, I was staying in a tiny village in Saskatchewan with a population of less than 100 people. They had a tiny library, building donated to the village, and the village found the money to pay 4hr, 3xweekly, but open longer and most days with volunteers. Filled with worthy books, cds and dvds, all donated. With dial up internet access. My parents always made sure that we lived within walking distance of a library. Blessings heaped upon the shoulders of librarians!
My step father worked for ABC news from 1960 to 1990. He said that when 24 hour cable news became a thing, everything changed. Before, the networks assumed that the news was a public service and lost money. But the 24 hour news networks had to make money off the news, so they began to sensationalize and become more partisan.
“Public service” there’s a word the entire nation has forgotten about.
Go watch the film Network (from 1976). It warned about ALL of this. Also, it's a great movie just on its own.
@@The.Nasty. Love to use the word when I see some actual public service, that gives me a little more hope for humanity.

Thank you. I am former political refugee from Cambodia. I survived the communist regime and its killing fields. Millions were send to the mass graves all over Cambodia from 1975-1979.
As soon as I arrived in the US, I grabbed every opportunity by the neck and showed to our host country that we refugees are loyal and contribute back, maintain the health of the USA, economically and psychologically.… not one opportunity or crisis went to waste! From being a refugee boy surviving the communist killing fields to achieving a BA from Temple University, and a Master’s from UPenn (Ivy League School).
Communist and authoritarian states COULD NOT stand American 🇺🇸 US Constitution. Dictators are scared of their own people of accepting or believing in the American exceptionalism. It’s a threat to their authority and control.
You are a great asset to USA . So glad you are here & having a great life !!!!
Wish there was more like you in the UK too.
Very well put. Glad you made it here. I worked with a Vietanamese man who spent 10 years in a "rehabilitation" camp after the war. We both made poor wages back then, but my being younger, he would often give me sugar on toast or a bologna sandwich to help me through the day, as I usually only ate in the evening to save money, and I didn't know anything about cooking for myself... Nguyen Khang was a great man and worked hard to get himself and his family here, and then maintain his family. A true friend.
Pennsylvania is pretty chill and close enough, yet far away from “excitement”😊Welcome!!🇺🇸🇺🇸

I say this often, as a Canadian , I have travelled to the US a huge amount of times in my life . I have never experienced anything other than polite, hard working, friendly people, willing to help you at any moment. If the chips are down , I want an American brother or sister standing beside me ! Cheers from Vancouver .....

You’re right. Americans take it for granted.
My only pet peeve is the vaxes we have to endure. Every other child is autistic growing up now. I myself was till 19 (went through chelation therapy and major diet change) and I'm a 2001. It's not ALL sunshine and roses lol, not that he ever said it was. I get it, it's still better than eating dirt.
Indeed we do..
Americans are spoiled. Speaking as a 58 year old American that’s done a fair amount of traveling around the world. We take all we have here for granted. We think it’s normal to have all we do.
Libraries are cool man
To be more specific they take it for "granite".
I just came across this information: 82% of Chinese PhDs chose to stay in USA. You can interpret it any way you want.
Wtf are you talking about?! 😂 That number is horribly wrong.
China has about 31 million people with a PhD degree.
The population with Chinese ethnicity (from any country) in the US stands at approx 5.5 million. So please explain how your claimed number is possible?! 😂😂😂
@@anthonyinzerillo2804 please see the link above. it’s actually 92%! The video is from a talk show in Beijing. The heading can be roughly translated as: 92% of Chinese PhDs do not return home. Is USA really so good? The number is pertinent to those Chinese who got PhD from American universities and chose to stay in the states. It has nothing to do with the groups you mentioned.
@@anthonyinzerillo2804 I have been to China several times so I understand why they want to stay in USA, but don’t expect such a high percentage. CCP is good at propaganda. People have to go along to survive. The host has to say China is prosperous now and why these elites would not come back to mother land. The guests of course need to beat the same drum.
@@anthonyinzerillo2804 Literally China's own reporting admits this is true. Cope, if it really offends your cognition so much.

Your daughter saying "my flag" at the end really brought a tear to my eye. We new Americans must pick up the torch of freedom. It seems to have been dropped by the long time residents. Stay awesome my friend!
Thank you, those of us who appreciate America will keep it strong, stay awesome!
Yeah, a lot of born-Americans have sadly lost the plot. Immigrants and their children can see it, though. They can compare how things REALLY are everywhere else to how things REALLY are here, and see that it's not as bad as the media wants people to think it is.
@@lsswappedcessna Exactly! Living in the land of milk and honey for generations makes some people fabricate problems out of thin air.
Very true, it is often people born in the United States with a version of the US in their heads that is simply untrue.
Donald Trump wants authoritarian rule. MAGA.
I was born and raised in Germany and moved to US in 1990 - I love living here - I became a doctor here in the US - in Germany, your fate is sealed in 5th and 6th grade - I failed English and Math in 5th and 6th grade and was slotted back to what I would describe as “Middle Tear school” - where you learned to become a Secretary, Customer Service … etc - I ended up graduating at age 16 and started working full time as - you guessed it - a secretary- did this for 11 years and I absolutely hated it … moved to US and learned English … and started undergrad classes at night, working full time as a customer service rep - took me 7 years to finish undergrad, working, having 2 kids …
There is no other country in the world where a person can work, go to school and actually achieve something- would have never ever had this opportunity in Germany …
People have no idea how good they have it here in the US ….

@@pollo007x USA is a country almost universally known as America, for short, as the word appears in its name. And to many , if not most people in the West, there is no continent known as America, but a North and South America.

I was born and raised in the USA. My parents were immigrants. I’ve seen so many ‘voting with their feet’ trying to become US CITIZENS. Thanks for helping me to see how fortunate I’ve been. I have taken life in the US for granted. And while there are problems here, life is so much better than so many other authoritarian countries. Thank you
It's not too late to wake up and see the light. There are factions working to make people think we have it bad, and if only we give them power, they can fix us, but they have zero intentions to make our lives better. They are going to trick us into giving up our best thing for the worst thing possible. Trust in the foundation and never give up an inch of freedom. Be the power, don't give up the power. God bless you and your family
The US IS an authoritarian country.
Most of us never see outside our country. We are safe in our bubble. At the same time, this safe bubble is making us complacent and soft. We need to protect our democracy from outside forces and especially internal forces working against the average US citizen. Anyone coming to the US legally are often better citizens than those born here. Going to Iraq and Afghanistan in the mid-2000s was an eye opener on how great our society can be. 🤙
You and 300M others.
As a European I see it in a similar way. We take some things for granted although it took a pretty large amount of time for our ancestors, our mothers, fathers, grandparents to make our countries as civilized and advanced as possible. Now we shouldn't behave as spoiled children but on the contrary teach our children to respect work and the standards that they have and take as granted because in many countries there are humans who have to fight for their rights. When watching the news nowadays I see the civilized world decline as ancient Rome back in the past...

You are one of the few "foreigners" who truly understand how China and Chinese goverment work.

Bravo!

As an American expat, I couldn’t agree more. Before leaving the US I thought that the rest of the world really had their act together in comparison to the issues that are magnified in the press, After a good bit of traveling and more than 10 years abroad, I have come to the same conclusion that you have. In spite of all its flaws, America is still a great place to live.
I worked for the USAF as a civilian. After listening to the news that day, I commented aloud in my cubicle, "Why does the world hate us so much?" In answer, came a deep booming voice from another cubicle, which said: "Don't you believe it!" The voice belonged to one of our foreign-born lieutenants, (now an American citizen), from Nigeria. A few seconds later, he stood before me smiling. He said, "The people who hate you, are those with power. But the people who have no power, love you! This is a great country to them, and that is why they struggle to come here." It really made my day. I blame the media, and teachers, for brainwashing our kids to hate their own country. This needs to stop!

Countries like China sweep their problems under the rug & exaggerate American problems to distract from their own. Ironically, all it does is allow their problems to get worse. They would be better off allowing people to criticize their problems 👍
I wonder what does it fell like, for him, being white and growing up with privileges in South Africa apar.theid?
@FufucaCacildis he grew up in a poor neighborhood. He had possibly no privilege, but even if he did, it's not that much.
He's said multiple times they had little to no money and lived in an incredibly high crime area (although that doesn't say much with South Africa overall, even Johannesburg is horrid). But definitely not in these rich, white bubbles like you're claiming. He was dirt poor. It's not always about race. It's sometimes about wealth in those parts of the world. Black and wealthy is more "privileged" (subjective) than white and poor. You'll see this across the world. Money buys you actual privilege.
As an American, we take so much for granted. It’s hard to appreciate how blessed we are in the United States.
Well said! You're one of the few Americans who dare to speak out the truth about what's happening in the US right now.
Libraries, public schools, public lands, postal service. Keep an eye on the people who are trying to do away with these things.
Conservatives, Republicans, the GOP. And then they want to then give tax breaks to the rich
Libraries and public schools are designed to indoctrinate American kids with Democrat propaganda. Public lands are used by the Democrats to exert control over states from a federal position. The postal service is almost exclusively now meant for spying on Americans and rigging elections, again, for the Democrats. These things have been weaponized against the American people in the name of a political party that is bent on tyranny over the American people. The propaganda is the support of these things, because they want to make anyone who questions them into a pariah, because it is all the true source of Democrats power in America. In reality, America is no different than N. Korea with its fake grocery stores, except worse, because people actually know it's fake in N. Korea, while many Americans can't see past the shroud pulled over their eyes, that their standard of living is actually worse than most of the world, with propaganda to make them think it's better than the rest of the world, in order to keep them from realizing their true reality, that they live in an impoverished dystopian nation and have had soo much stolen from them.
Sadly, most of these are becoming a boondoggle, waste of money, or indoctrination factories. When I was a kid, it was reasonable to attend public schools. Now I have to spend big $ on a private school because I consider it child abuse to allow my daughter to attend a school that will teach her to hate me. As for public lands, I can't even take my dog to state parks unless I game the system and make him a service dog.
No shit, Sherlock !
They are they enemies of democracy, trying to eliminate the public wealth. and public enfranchisement.
Fellow ex-South African here living in the States. The way I like to describe it is the reason America is the best country in the world is not because it's perfect. Far from it. But the union is always trying to get better. Sometimes it may be 5 steps back for 1 forward, but it's always changing and striving to BECOME the perfect union. Contrast that with most other countries that resist any form of change or shy away from discourse. Those countries believe they are already perfect or at least try project that image. America and Americans will be the first to acknowledge the union is far from perfect but every day, year, decade and century is spent striving for more.

There's a saying in Korea, "Empty carts make the most noise".
That's profound!
Wow good one!
The same as "Empty vessels make the most sound."
That's interesting because I work and live in America and the carts make the most noise when they aren't loaded down with groceries. Perhaps by design?
@@GreasyBeasty That's just additional weight from groceries dulling the vibration of the cart when its being pushed, so less noise.
The Korean saying is a metaphor. If your mind is compared to the cart, then life experiences, pursuit of knowledge, and self-reflection, would be the groceries in the cart. Making the person less likely to be easily swayed by opinions of others and consider the words to be spoken before leaving their mouth.
Wow! Every American should see this!!! What a GREAT PERSPECTIVE!

i really hate when people call our country worse than a country like France just because of a single statistic
I've lived here since birth. I am aware of what you mean by taking things for granted, but there are definitely people here who know how good we have it. However, that doesn't mean we won't always try to improve. Like healthcare as Serpentza said. That's a huge issue. Voting rights is a huge issue at the moment. The list goes on. But I also believe a citizen anywhere should exercise any rights they have to enact change.
@@TitaniumRubberYeah, people do take shit for granted. If anything I’m only frustrated with the current establishment, and the mild corruption, but looking back, it’s overlooked and we really ought to be grateful for being here. I’d still die for this place.

YES!
Perhaps, you need a person that came from an apartheid South Africa and had lived in communist China to educate you. If serpentza do whack any of the nominee for US President, he is not a real American.
I live in Australia and find there is now an ever growing culture of complaining. I always remind those complaining of the freedoms and lifestyle we enjoy in this country compared to most other countries in the world. I implore them to travel abroad to places like Cambodia, China, Africa, Mexico etc where there is corruption, extreme poverty, war, extreme religious beliefs and no hope of better life. Those of us lucky enough to be born in first world countries such as here, the US, Canada, the UK etc should give thanks every day for the life we have been granted.
Mate, stop eating raw roo meat, move your feet out of straya. China is in different world. You see it then you come back here and you can judge this dude.
I think that's a natural fault in human nature caused by us in the "first-world" having things come easy for a long time, so we find ourselves fixating on truly irrelevant things that someone in the third world would think was ridiculous. We had a hurricane here in Florida, USA a couple of years ago and my area had some trees down but relatively minor damage. Just 2.5 hours away by car in the coastal areas, they experienced winds nearly 3 times the speed we did, along with 4-6 meters of sea water intrusion (surge).
People in my area were complaining that it was taking too long for the crews to come and pick up the piles of tree branches from the roadside, and were complaining that it looked bad in front of their homes. I pointed out that some of our neighbors a couple hours away were living in tents in grocery store parking lots because their homes and everything in them was now a debris pile, not just some unsightly tree branches. Their neighborhoods were declared unsafe to enter until crews could clear powerlines, flipped over cars and random boats or other debris from the roads so they could start to evaluate damage and file insurance claims. I didn't mind some piles sitting if it allowed us to send more resources to those who were truly suffering. It seems many of us don't understand the difference between a minor inconvenience and losing everything you own, and in some cases, everyone you love. Just 45 miles away in the Bahamas (small island nation), there were no government crews cleaning up or helping people after hurricanes, and no functioning jobs or businesses to get supplies from. There were whole islands where all buildings were destroyed and people were digging through rubble looking for canned goods to eat. My community and many others collected donations and chartered private flights to help keep people from starving to death. So close, but so far away.
It is like he said, because we are doing ever so much right, the areas where we are not quite doing as well as we would like, they stand out and we focus on them. Whilst in truth everything is going pretty damn well.
If you go to China, you will be more disappointed in the government.
Dude we can't vote out a speed camera down under...we get more of them! lol. Also talk about nanny state, we just turn to the government to fix everything for us....maybe that's just the wait awhile state 🤣
I am a patriotic Vietnam combat U.S. Army vet, and I believe you are correct! America is great! PERIOD!
arent you ashamed about the homelessness problem of the vets???, which by the way Trump said day 1 he was going to solve.......

The author is comparing the USA to China and South Africa. Compared to those countries, Mexico would look great. And I bet you havent lived for years in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Singapore, France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, UK, Iceland, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Finland etc
As a Canadian , I wholeheartedly agree !
As a 59 year old American, it’s heartbreaking to see how far we have fell in the last 40 years. HOWEVER, it is still the greatest nation on earth.
Your absolutely right, but being 10 years older, I can tell you that you got to have a past that you miss.
But to be raised in the last 30 years, these kids have nothing to compare it to, so it makes it so much easier to change, everything as time progresses forward.
The day when I saw a Trucker Female pull into the casino truck stop to park her rig... then started pan handling money to buy her children 2 of them in the sleeper, a meal.
That's was their home, I was working Engeering across the street, I got a service call for a sliding glass partition in a shower that needed fixed. I stopped and asked her if I could help? She started crying, explained to me her plight.dispatche couldn'tnt get her out for another 3 days, she had no money to buy her children a meal, radio my boss told JW... explained the situation,
We set her up with showers, for her children, Casino comp 9 meals, Engeering Dept kick in $175.00 of spare change that we had on us....that's was in Nov of 1999
I couldent even imagine what going on today, but we were very happy to help this lady out...
Go back and listen to the absolute very end of the video. It’s worth it sir.
No, It’s just that there are worse places. That was never in doubt. Only campists think China is a utopia. You can be capable of criticizing both.
Well, I am. I don’t know about you.
This is global problem. I come from Czechia, and people whine and complain non-stop, all while those people are more well-off than most of the world.
Here in the US, the biggest whiners are driving around in their $70,000 extended cab pickup trucks.
It's nowhere near as bad as it is in Burgundy. Literally, the only thing that comes out of there is wine, wine wine and more and more wine.
I'll see my way out
Same in Hungary. If you read the media (you know, the media which is not free and completely under state control), you can read that there is no freedom of speech (in fact you can read it in a dozen media outlets, so much for state mind control monopoly), there is corruption, autoritarianism and people are just saving up money to flee for good. Let's also not forget about those cannibal far rightist who hate everyone. But then, you visit the country and realize that people of all kind of minorities are A-OK, there are annual minority rallies organized that are cosidered risky in Western countries which are described in the press as the heaven on earth. Provoking and gaslighting people is good business because they like to complain and project their issues on others.
The globalists know you are better off. They are not trying to help other nations catch up. They WANT YOU to accept VAST reduction in living standards. You will be invaded by the third world (diversity ya see), and your functional systems of society will be destroyed. Farming, energy, private transport, equality (that is not the goal of EDI or ESG). Tread carefully.
Whining make stuff better.
We used to have kings and people whined for more rights- boom, bill of rights.
Then more influence- boom, democracy.
Content people do not change the world, you have to whine a bit, it is good for the soul.
Protect this man at all costs! I've been watching you since I was on secondary school. You do great content Winston!! People need to hear this... especially during these times.
As an American I can say we are proud to have you here as well Sir! ❤
That bit at the end made me cry.
I appreciate you so much. I appreciate the risks you guys took in China to bring us the information you did. I appreciate your very important outsiders voice to say what so many, many Americans know to be true but are often actually ridiculed for pointing out. You’re the best, man!
We need more immigrants like Serpentza in USA who, while having a LARGE audience, can remind us ALL: "You don't know how good you have it here in this country."
😂
This country has many issues.
@@Cbd_7ohm Sure I can see that since I live here. And yes, it's getting worse which happens when a demented president gets elected. But that said, I was talking to my friend from Pakistan who told me that (like Winston shocked by US Mail doing it's job), no one does their job. They're in constant rolling blackouts in large cities like Karachi. Everyone has a generator because power is so unreliable. Yeah, we're still the best game in town.
Open border isn’t working for you
most immigrants are like Winston, grateful to be here and willing to work and make a difference. Its what has made America great from the beginning. Add to that our constitution and bill of rights, regardless of your place in the political spectrum, you have a voice and a place.
As an American citizen you are 1,000% correct. I don’t know how I came across yours and laowhys channel a couple years ago, but I am absolutely happy that there are people like the two of you! Thank you so much for being an amazing conversationalist
I believe I came across this channel back when covid started because I believe he was doing videos about China
Corruption is so bad in Nigeria that an ex-gov is suing the federal financial crime agency for investigating him for laundering #80 billion, oh and a tomato company arrested a mum for a bad review, these are just bits of the problems in Nigeria.

Sounds like she's on her way to becoming an American Girl (Smart, pretty, cheerful and humble).
Dude you are awesome! Born and raised in the USA and we’re glad to have you brother! God bless the USA!
Too true. As a South African living in the US and teaching college courses here, I'm amazed by my students' lack of perspective regarding the greatness of this place, all problems recognized.
Some of my friends left the UK, they have never regretted their decisions, in fact America has provided them with everything that was important to them, they have become lecturers ad lawyers and now give something back.
Hey Dude,
I've watched you for years and really appreciate your perspective.
Thank you for all you do for the general public.!!
God bless you everyday all day
Santa Barbara CA loves Serpentza channel!!!!
I have listened to your content while you were still in China. A breath of fresh air. The communication war needs a soldier like you. God Bless
I stopped watching the news completely. It was an everyday event growing up here. I just cant tolerate the trauma and drama. I learned my love of America from my Irish Grandmother. As all other Nationalities, the Irish suffered too. She became a citizen and all her 4 sons fought in wars. Lost a son in Korea. She taught us what true patriotism was through his story. He was injured badly but was determined to go back to support the young troops who he said he would not let them go it alone. Especially 17 to 18 yr old young men. His name was Patrick McGonagle. The day he died, my Grandmother was a cook in a Seminary. There was an explosion in the kitchen with propane. She got blasted against the wall and fell. Her words were this “Pats dead”
He died that same day on August 15th. The feast day of our Blessed Mother. He did what he set out to do… Protecting his platoon from death. He received many medals and we all know him as a hero. My Grandmother taught every Grandchild about our American History through this sacrifice of her son.
I have a letter he wrote to his Mom. He said. “ This war will never end Mother” and “keep me in your prayers”
God Bless every soldier.
Pray for Wars to end..
Operation mockingbird
Beautiful story. Semper fidelis.
Well that's the other side of America, the one that led to nowadays imperial America, and that sends the kids to die for reasons too farfetched.
Plus most of the mainstream media report slanted news or worst fake news/ or don’t report an event that should be reported
Mum was irish ,Dod, Dutch, ojibou , me a Mutt , a grateful, loyal,dyed in the wool ,god bless American! Love it ! BE WILLING TO GIVE YOUR LIFE FOR HER OR GTF OUT!! Go to the place you think is so much better .
They would compare a brand new Train Station in China to a 100 old one in New York and brag about how great it looks.
😂😂😂
Yes. Countries like China sweep their problems under the rug & exaggerate American problems to distract from their own. Ironically, all it does is allow their problems to get worse. They would be better off allowing people to criticize their problems.
@@tonyinhbolero4815 When the station in NY is 120yrs old the 'new' one in China will be scrap
I prefer the one hundred year old one...much better built and has lasted ONE HUNDRED YEARS
Thank you Serpentza, we are happy to have you here in America. You are a true American. Thank you for your contribution and perspective!!!
It‘s the same here in Switzerland. We complain all the time but forget how well we are actually doing. We take everything for granted and have become complacent. At the same time we enjoy so much freedom that we don’t even appreciate anymore.
Europe in general 😢
Switzerland is ACTUALLY doing well, unlike the USA.
As a retired postal worker, I appreciate your saying good things about the USPS.
Newman?
Thank you! As a south African expat, you explained it exactly. Love America, warts and all
When did you move?
About 22 years ago
I was born in the UK but spent most of my childhood and adult life in South Africa. I returned to the UK 5 years ago and I completely get your postal service story. I'm still amazed that I can send post with virtually 100% confidence that it will arrive at it's destination 2 maybe 3 days later. I live in a small town in South East England and there has been one murder in 5 years and the whole town was talking about it for months. And it was a bar fight that got out of hand. The remote locking on my car stopped working and I haven't bothered to fix it. I seldom remember to lock my front door. I've forgotten what burglar bars look like. I walk home from the pub at 02h00 without looking around. I stop at traffic lights with my windows down and think nothing of it.
Hmmm...now that the islamists have invaded UK,you might want to reconsider your position...of safety...it always pays to be safe....
@JohnFrankHexTheLiberian There's no need
Same, moved there from Yorkshire.
yes the sterile present we live in, its not a good thing. 80%less people go out regular so the 'safety' you feel isnt good safety its a failed economy where the youth are poor and sexless and friendless like never seen before. DO NOT try praise the UK brexit was done to trap the poor youth here stop em fleeing to eu to be poor in better surroundings instead they certainly arent worried about the incoming traffic are they! You may be old enough to have enjoyed the good financial years here before we fell apart but anyone under 25 cannot remember those free times, they dont demand privacy or quality they accept this current state its all theyv known but this is a failed and broken land where no amount of hard work can ever improve your standard of living and unless you inherit property youl likely be lifetime welfare housed or homeless as the waiting list is 14yrs even for women with kids so men just get a NO.. I hope parts of usa are still good il never afford a visa to leave here tho, but for a fact the uk is totally ruined you cant travel freely around London or even surrounding outskirts without paying tolls its absolutely awful here now for anyone with half a brain. Tobaccos next then petrol cars wev already had sugar banned and replaced with toxic sweetners that are banned for cancer abroad because we arent allowed to make such decisions by ourselves any more in this hellhole of an island. It may be a fools paradise to be babied and penned in 'safely' but this is hell incarnate for anyone old or wise enough to have experienced actual REAL freedom.
That's small town for you. Can't do this in the big cities.
Winston, as an American who follows your podcasts (and Laowhy's as well), I am so proud and excited that you are here. Thank you for all the wonderful things you've said about America-it means so much coming from you because you, my friend, are a truth teller. God bless you and your family!
Exactly this is so true! I came from Ecuador at the age of 9. Although I love Ecuador and visit from time to time, I count my blessings here in the US and this has been my home for 24 years. I love the US there's so much opportunity here.
Thank you Winston. As a community college prof for 26 years in the sciences, I had students from all over the world. Many of would get upset when they heard Americans complaining about the US. They, like you, came from countries all over the African, Asian and central/S American continents and they knew first hand the stark advantages of a country like the US where freedom is taken seriously. They too marveled at the infrastructure and the systems in place to serve every facet of our populace. I’m thankful every day to have been lucky enough to be born here. I know my grandparents left Italy and Ireland to come to America with nothing in their pockets but a will to work very hard. I’m a product of the American dream and I don’t take it for granted.

Yes, outside influences are causing young Americans to hate their own country.
I agree with you. I have lived in other countries. And yes I am older than you and have a husband and five adult children and grandchildren. They are the center of my life! But when we go to any local parade and a high school band plays any patriotic song I can’t help but break down in tears of joy. We all need to remember how American was in the old days and bring back the same patriotic spirit. Yes we are a great country and yes some things and people are sliding in many areas. But I would never want to live any place else. There is so much America has to be proud of and so much that it offers us.❤
Great program as always. I came from China in the late 80’s. I have been keenly aware of the freedom and liberty I am enjoying every day here in America. Let’s work together to keep this country the best❤
And you havent seen USA is becoming China? Pull your head out your....!
People who live in a free country often take all these things for granted.
I think it's okay to love the United States of America while hating the Incorporated Fascist States of America. There are two Americas: the people vs. the machine. The people are great. The machine, though, has to be taken down...
i live in Europe where people are ACTUALLY free, the US just isn't and comparing it south Africa and china says so little.
@@thevis5465 depends. Countries like Germany don't even have free speech. Compared to that America is pretty decent.

LoL neither place is free
I think that’s about the most beautiful way I’ve heard anyone explain America and it comes from an immigrant, thank you for joining us, your very welcome person, we need more good ones.
I just saw this video. I've followed your work for years. Thank you for recognizing the USA for the amazing place that it is. Welcome Home 😊.
I am Australian. Most of the news we get from the US constantly shows how "bad" things are over there. Thank you for this breath of fresh air. All we can do to make sure democratic countries thrive is to do the right thing and look after those around us, so long as we do that the rest will take care of itself. Love from "down under"
Here in the US most of what we hear about Australia is related to crocs or giant spiders and snakes! It's on my bucket list to visit someday as I love the outdoors and would love to see the different wildlife and terrain you have (I'll pass on the huntsman spiders, though!). I think many Americans have Australia on their bucket list. Peace from 'Murica🙂
Mr.Sterzl (sp?), America is very fortunate to have you and your family join us. By the way I am a 66 yr old African American, and I have no excuses for American mistreatment of minorities. But I wouldn't trade the Black experience in 20th century America with that of the Chinese or Russian people for anything in the world. Think about it. Happy to have you and welcome aboard.
Or the black experience in Africa, in the past and current
I lived in CCP controlled China for early part of my life. I would say you are "Street Smart" when discussing China issues. Very few westerners can see through things with China issues like you do.
Thank You for commenting on our great country 😊
A new citizen like you is always appreciated for your perspective and experience. Because you know things we haven't seen, especially by comparison. Thanks, Winston. 💯

I am refugee, yes legal Alien. 😂 From the country of Laos who came here in the late 80s after Nam debacle. Traded up my green card for U.S citizenship, paid $600 fee n passed my Test. Now im a U.S Citizen. Communist took over my country after Vietnam war and they're still there today. Now that country is over run by communist Chinese and communist Vietcong's. We hear and read it all the time, about human trafficking Laotians by the Chinese, labor abuse, luring locals into brothels, organ harvesting, illegal logging, chemical contamination, Chinese police in Laos denying locals into places where only the Chinese are allowed, debt trap, etc.
Just wanna say, the U.S may not be perfect.. but it's the best country for immigrants like us to start over from scratch, and it's true, if you work hard, play by the rules, you can MAKE IT HERE and live like a normal human being with FREEDOM under the clear blue sky. I LOVE AMERICA. And we appreciate you Serpentza for giving the insight and knowledge about the crooked CCP.
Communism took over after the United States illegally carpet bombed your country for ten years. You have Stockholm syndrome
Glad you made it here. I have a friend from Vietnam whose family-14 of them- got out during the fall of Saigon. All they had were the clothes on their backs. They all got little jobs, pooled their money and sent their kids to college. Their kids are doctors and dentists and engineers, and they own several small businesses and an apartment building! Immigrants make the best Anericans in my opinion.
I lived in Laos last year. It was sad to see how much the Chinese have slowly taken over the country.
@@roxannekean6025 Yeah, the South Vietnamese had it worse than us Laotians. We call them the ''Boat People'' the image of them trying to get on boats and airplanes as U.S troops pull out still burnt in my head. Im glad they made it, they're super hard workers and business savvy people.
@@kevinchan1275The Vietnamese are so easy to like. They do work hard and cause very few problems. Probably some of the best immigrants to have as Americans.
Thank you. This is a very important message that needs to be amplified and expanded on!!!
I haven’t traveled very far in my life, but as a native Californian I am exposed to people from all over the world. You are right, many Americans take so much for granted.
I am ever grateful to Hal Sparks for introducing you, Laowhy86 and the China show. I have been subscribed to all three utube channels since your appearance.
Thank you! We think you are incredibly wonderful too! ❤❤
As a natural born American I married someone who came from a corrupt country in Asia. Her family LEGALLY emigrated to the U.S. She has shown me just how amazing my country is as she reveals what it's like not living here. It is natural for people to take things for granted. Most natural born Americans do. Our country is not perfect and that is because mankind is not perfect, but we take the best qualities of other cultures and have become the All-Star team when it comes to nations. China is not what many think it is. It has massive problems and will always have them as long as their people are not free to choose. I do hope China will become a democracy. Democracy's are not always perfect and can be manipulated, yet the people have the ability to enact change. Thanks for sharing this heart felt message.
If you visit a developing country as someone from the Western world, you'll learn very quickly not to take what you have back home for granted.
Your right America is not perfect and far from being close . And in the western world and developed nations USA is at the bottom of the list . European countries have a far better quality of life .
Gross, thanks a lot... Now we have another child who will never fully identify with either culture, and a bunch of random foreigners who are now "citizens" thanks to you. Traitor!
Sadly America democracy is failing and people have no real power to enact change any more. World economy and world media is manipulated by a handful of conglomerates. Boeing whistleblowers dropping like flies and criminals are getting away with it tells you something.
@@paulthomson9014 How is the USA at "the bottom of the list" when it has become the richest nation in history as well as the most powerful in well under 300 years?
Europe had thousands of years to get its shit together, so it **should** be doing better, but now they have another war in their backyard that they can barely take care of, without significant help from guess who? The f'n USA.
I am not from The USA (please stop calling it America), but only a fool would think the USA is at the bottom of the list in any regards. Hell if you're from the West, you're one of the 1% of wealthiest people that have ever lived, a fact that seems to escape most Europeans.
I live in the US and have all my life.
People in the US (including myself) are a prime example of "If you don't have a problem you'll look until you find one."
It's not that the USA and West in general don't have problems, it's that the Western mindset is to fix, improve and move on to the next thing, rinse and repeat. This ideal also exists outside the West and the USA and the West draws these people to it providing a self-reinforcing cycle of progress.
As long as there are people there will always be problems but Western culture is pretty much the only one that looks up, looks to fix things and looks to improve on the past for a better future.All the rest are stagnant or regressive as evidenced by the state of countries like China, Russia and other authoritarian regimes where no one wants to live.
The culture of a society is probably the most important influence on how well it does over time.
That is a good trait. Looking for perfection. Germans are good in it, I love their machines.
Well, in many cases the trouble has found us.
I get this, I really, really do. Spent half a year travelling India and saw and lived in places of such immense poverty. Immersed myself in that ooverty abd lived with the indian people. It is a fucking difficult life, to say the absolute fucking least. i still find myself thinking back to it all the time, every day. But just because we have it so much better off in many ways does not negate the fucked up shit that has gone down under America, and how fucked we currently are.
I have a problem with our For Profit Prison System that has over 1 million Humans locked up and used them as slave labor. I have a problem with the wars we have waged and horrors we have spread, I have a problem with our War On Drugs and the horrors that spread throughout the world... I have a problem with the insanely high rate of suicide among men in this country. I have a problem with there being so fucking many people who are borderline homeless/are homeless in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. The Drug Epidemic, meth and fentanyl....
idk man. Things ain't good here. And yeah it's all getting exacerbated and worked up by Russia and China and made to look as bad as possible every step of the way, but shit. These days we are doing all the fucking work for them - their seeds of division are growing now...
I love this country dearly, the Land, I love Americans even, one on one that is. I will stay and die here, couldn't imagine ever living anywhere else. But to say that it's not in decline? Thats just not the case.
It's bad here. I am living through all of this shit they are showing in the news. I'm homeless out here in California. Thank god i'm not in one of the cities out here tho - shit I saw in Sab Francisco last time I was there for a week...it wad un fucking real. Like, I aint ever seen any shit like thar in India even, thenmebtal health crisis and the agressiveness of this decay....its super ultra fucked.
It's real and it's widespread. People aren't fucking doing well here, and it's a large part of the population, a massive part. It's just that if you are in the bubble of affluence here in the states, even if no affluent yourself, that bubble is one hell of a illusion. Really does put on a hell of a show of looking functioning, looking like all is well. But the reality is seeping in, and hens are coming home to Roost. And it's going to get ugly here....
Tldr the grass is greener - but also we are fucked up and shit is bad, and yeah that's also getting exacerbated by foreign actors, but it's also the reality we are facing and I think we need to acknowledge that reality, as much as it fucking hurts to acknowledge.
When I retired, I rode my bicycle across America from one ocean to the other. I met many Europeans along the way who were also riding on the Trans America Trail but in the opposite direction. We would stop alongside the road and chat. I was surprise that so many of the foreigners would say things like, "I always heard Americans are stuffy but now I find them to be such lovely people". On the other hand, my wife of 28 years is from Russia. Although we hear such negative things about Russians, there are so many wonderful people there. We just can't judge citizens by the actions of our governments.
Many thanks to you Serpentza! I have been watching your videos since before Hong Kong. You and C-Milk have such honest, straightforward, worthwhile programming! I have felt a connection with you from the start, probably because of your desire to speak truth. I'm a 74 year-old Christian grandma who cherishes honesty and sincerity. I pray for your families. Thank you, Patrina Boehringer; Wisconsin.
Having being born in South America and lived in France and USA, I agree with you. Wonderful country.
Thank you for saying such great words about my country. I was born and raised here and I'm proud to be here. I'm happy you and your family are here too. 👍

Well said bro. I lived in China for 20 years and then moved to Honduras, where I now reside. I am watching what is going on in the USA daily. I am now 71 and still love my homeland "USA" My mother was from Russia, my father was from Poland, my brother was born in Germany and I was born in the USA.
Come home
@@CharFred-vr1tiummm, you don't think that maybe the reason he moved is because Honduras is better?
Greetings from Poland Sir!
even in San Francisco most of the bad stuff is confined to a few blocks. tourists lately keep telling me how blown away they are how amazing it is here.
A client, from another country who at the time lived here for 4 years, told me that she thought Americans were UNGRATEFUL. After 4 years she realized it wasn't that Americans were ungrateful, it is that IT'S NORMAL for us. We're just use to all the luxuries and easiness of buying things, etc. And we EXPECT it since it is normal. Most Americans do NOT realize that most countries do not have it as nice.
It is important to travel to some less fortunate countries in order to open your eyes. Thailand and Cambodia especially were my eye openers. Outside a tiny tourist area the people in Phnom Penh live very poor lives, and then you go into the countryside to see real poverty. Yet the people usually seem happy because that is all they know. Most of the human population on Earth live in poverty.
We literally live in a bubble compared to the rest of the world
Thanks for being a voice for truth, Winston.
You made me cry. I was born, raised and still live in NYC and we have our issues but I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else in the world. It’s really nice to hear that you enjoy living in the US too! Congratulations to your success and wish you the very best! Stay awesome ❤
As always, it's great having you here. I remember thinking years ago that it was only a matter of time before you'd make it over to us.
Born and bred American. I appreciate that you do what you do. Thank you, truly
Nope, it is disservice to America. If serpentza failed to show what a shith0le America is, there will be no improvement or to tackle the problem. First, you have to acknowledge the problem not sweep it under the rug. That is your choice. serpentza is a bad choice.
You nailed it with the football team and band analogy. And sadly, a lot of American citizens are buying into it and now are denouncing the country that has given them everything they have.
They all need a couple years living in China
"you see Disney villains prancing around as if they're attractive or something" lol great shot to illustrate that 😂
Hear, hear!.
You speak the truth Winston. One thing we Americans take for granted is clean drinking water. Every place I visited in the Caribbean and Latin America had vastly different water quality. I wash my dog and car with better drinking water than I could find in the foreign countries I have visited.
Be well Sir Winston, you are the best.
Thank you my friend very nice of you to say such kind words. We (Americans) truly appreciate it.
As a Canadian I'm happy for you, and I hope that you find peace and stability in the US! I've watched your journey for many years while you were in China. Welcome to the free world!
The US is pretty cool. When my car broke down, I was waiting for AAA, but in the space of 40 minutes, I had like 6 groups of people stop and ask me if I needed help or water or anything and if a tow is on its way. Wonderful
