Why are american's so stupid?

The EU could kick out Greece and be done with the problem. Germany likes a poor and broken Greece because they drag down the value of the Euro making Germany export more attractive. Many German workers are really underpaid as a result of all this financial engineering. Plus, why does the EU not go after Goldman Sachs for helping Greece cook the books to get into the EU?

Please Greece is a prototype for nation level enslavement through debt in the first world. If they had left the EU a issued their own currency they wouldn't be suffering nearly as much as they are now.

Greece could have left, we're talking about countries here, not people. On this scale compassion and empathy don't apply.

Pretty much you will find almost across the board people who have one or more of the above. If you do manage to find someone who manages to avoid all those pitfalls you will find them stereotyped and mocked in media. It really is an insidious chain of events that has brought us to this point. The demoralization and destruction of a nation through narrative. What a strange future we choose.

One of the oddities of Americans is that despite having robust freedom of speech as far as I can tell the vast majority never actually state their real opinion on any even slightly sensitive topic except in a private one on one setting. They will mouth whatever platitude they think people want to hear in any public forum or media questioning. I suspect that as such a young country with no real solid cultural base that most Americans have no touchstones or identity to lean on and default to just wanting to appear "good" and socially acceptable.
