10 THINGS I HATE about AMERICA!! 

The biggest thing that Americans need to be aware of when they talk about "rights" is that they come with "responsibilities". With all rights come responsibilities. You cant have one without the other and I feel like alot of Americans forget the other side of the coin.

"War is God's way of teaching (Americans) Geography" Unsubstantiated quote reference but effective.

How does this bloke only have 7k subs he deserves at least 500k

My sister is a naturalised US citizen. When she first moved there 25 years ago she got badly burned by the US healthcare system through no fault of her own (had a baby born with a serious medical condition requiring a lot of surgery). Only our money sent from Australia kept her from going bankrupt. Only in America is this seen by people as "ok" or "the best healthcare in the world"!

What a great vid. Thanks. It takes Americans like you to adventure outside the US and experience the world to see how America really is, and then say it! Good on ya mate!

Having serving in the U.S Army and living in other Countries I rarely met citizens that want to leave their Country and be Americans they have great pride for their own Countries especially the Germans. When I was in the war it was a different story. In Iraq they wanted to be an American

My sister went to the US as an exchange student in 1979 and they told her that they were surprised that she spoke such good English. She is Australian and could not believe how ignorant the students were about other countries. They were not taught about other countries at school at all, only about their own country.

You are one cool dude Tristan! I'm an Australian and I enjoy watching your videos, and this one is no exception. You are open to things and you recognise what are things you like and dislike by making sure you weigh the pros and cons of what you see and hear. Keep up the good work mate!

hey as an australian all thesse vids are making me feel happy to know that some one diffedrent from us can understand us thankyou for making the amazing content that even helps me learn about stuff i did not know about my own country keep up the good work and have a nice day

You are becoming more Aussie every day mate

Americans use the word 'foreigner' to mean anybody non american, even when they are in another country, they see the locals as 'foreigners'. When I lived in the U.S, everyone was telling me I was living the American dream, cause i got to go out and had freedom. No one could believe it when I left to come home, as they all assumed I would stay after experiencing how great America was. When I was drunk with my american buddies, they loved to tell me how America was number 1, constantly, and I was known around different circles as 'that foreign guy'

It's probably time for The US to come out of the dark ages & join the metric system & also have a decent minimum wage!

I have been born and raised in America and I 100% agree with all of them. I have been learning about other cultures around the world and it has really made me want to just travel out of the U.S.

I love that you've gained a great international perspective and been able to reflect on your own country. No country is perfect - so being able to be constructively critical is awesome!

Wholeheartedly agree with #1, the Yanks are very uninformed when it comes to the rest of the world. As an Aussie, when I was in the US, world news took up about a tenth of the page of USA Today on page 68! I was asked, when I was there, about my accent ... Them: You must be English? Me: No!. Them: Oh, you must be South African then? Me: No! Them: Oh, you speak really good English, where are you from? Me: Australia. Them: Oh, did you drive over?

Great Video Tristan! Your video is on point. Better get the battle gear on, I am sure the haters will be coming.....

being an American is the last thing I’d do. I love Australia too much and the people here 😍

The image I have that typifies Americans is whilst backpacking many many moons ago in Vietnam, there was a large, 50 something year old on a crowded train platform in l think Nah Trang. He stood amongst the many locals and shouted obnoxiously, "Why doesn't anyone in the God dammed country speak English?". I'm know this is just an isolated example and many Americans are respectful and considerate of others but this was like a living caricature. I love your videos always balanced and insightful. Any Aussies that were offended or sent you hate messages based on your previous video of things you hate about Australians is an example of how all countries have ignorant people!

This is great because fundamentally you have given me hope that not all Americans have their rose tinted glasses on. Regardless of country, people will be ignorant if they don't expose themselves to something different Good on you.

If more people were this critical then actual change for the better could improve. The worst thing about America is definitely your #10 - America is best mentality. That shuts down improving anything else that you've identified as being a problem.

Your channel taught more Americans about the world outside America than than their media 😂

You left out coffee. Now don't take this personally, but coffee in the US is crap, really crap.

Really enjoyed the video, and your others, Tristan. Would be interesting to hear (unless you already have) how your experiences have effected the way you think and how that will influence you and how you do things back in America (obviously to the extent of your abilities)

Hi Tristan Just wondering if you ever went to Geelong in Victoria? It has the best beaches (especially Ocean Grove)

Good video good on you for saying there are things that should be changed and looked at .

How did America using the imperial system not make the list?! Loved this video. Keep it up :)

Bam! 💥 number 1 straight out of the gate. If this one thing was changed a lot of America’s issues would improve.

except for inefficient govt agencies, of which i have no experience, I agree 100% with your list. I have not travelled in America but I have met Americans travelling in the rest of the world and you are spot on.

"Kinda shit"....finally, we've converted Tristan to Aussie slang🤣🤣🤣

I thought Japan and Germany are pretty damn innovative too probably more then America

It's so important to travel and see something about how things are done in other places.

One positive thing about America (politics and social and economic issues aside), is the industrious "let's just do it" mentality. The actual road and rail way networks that were made earlier between your states and cities, helped propel growth as well. A clear example is when Australia began it's railway network between all the states, there were THREE different railway gauges (Track widths. It's no surprise that the difference has created bottle neck for industrial development (Although exports just go out of port at the relevant state). The Queensland Government ripped up it's railway from the NSW border to Beenleigh in favour of trucking transport due to it being more of a consistent flow. It's only now in the early 2000s that the Gold Coast got it's railway system back.

We do need more trains, I lived in Germany and loved the use of public transportation.

This guy has great knowledge, Tristan u should aware people about other nations as well

If your DMV / Government departments were efficient and clean, then it would indicate that Socialism might also be a good idea and work for everyone. Your ultra wealthy want to ensure this never happens as it keeps your society fragmented and their taxes either low or at zero. A well run social system looks after all of the people and would ensure taxes are paid and sent to the area's that care for the population like, medicare, social infrastructure, education, gun control, affordable housing and a living wage (As opposed to a minimum wage). With two federal parties, 50 different tax and law systems, legalized bribery (Lobbying), elected judges, poorly funded, uneducated and numerous law enforcement departments, they have design the perfect system to keep themselves rich and powerful beyond what any single human being should be and their population brain washed and divided. The only way you are ever going to live in a country that looks after everyone, is to immigrate to a westernized country that isn't the USA.

Hi, after watching your hostel video, you reminded me about shower over tubs, I've only lived in houses back home and not sure of showers over tubs is only an apartment thing but I would like a normal shower, so maybe you could comment on this if you are looking for other things to dislike.

When i was getting travel insurance for the USA, I asked what the best advice was. The guy replied: "don't get sick". The shocking healthcare in the USA stems from the average citizen having no idea how good healthcare is in other countries. That is then coupled with the "usa is the best country in the world" created the false impression they have it good. The number of Americans who are blown away by the healthcare of other countries once they experience it is large.

Lots of ice in a glass helps the alcohol mix better, and it makes you drink it faster , as long as your still getting a shot it doesn't matter, 5 ice cubes would melt faster and actually water down your drink more

Iam enjoying this video,...very amusing ...all true...

Omg I was sooo happy when I was there with my friend and she taught me ‘light ice’ life changing 😂

I have an interest in cars, particularly classic cars, and I kind of thought that the US was some kind of 'exclusive club' lol. The amount of vehicles sold worldwide which are named something everywhere but then when they are sold in the US, they get a name change. For example, Toyota Matrix was Toyota Carolla everywhere else. Toyota Tacoma: Toyota Hilux everywhere else. Like with my 1979 Toyota Hilux, everywhere else was sold as a Toyota Hilux with an 18R engine and 5.5inch split rims (wheels), but when sold in the US, they changed the name to Toyota Pickup, put in a larger engine (22R) and gave it larger wheels.

Totally understand your perspective on US healthcare, but I wanted add that the same issues you mentioned about government entities would unfortunately be very similar in a socialised healthcare system -- which is of course hugely concerning because getting an emergency response to a health issue needs to be efficient and good quality, and has much higher stakes than getting a driver's licence for ex. This is the case in places like Canada and Australia (I'm an Aussie) and it means that most people end up getting private cover anyway, which is also made more expensive when there is a government healthcare system Like I said, totally get your perspective but I wanted to point out further how complicated the issue is :)

Yeah I would have to agree with what you said, Well done you 😎

There’s a huge list that AMERICA is number 1 in and none of them are great.

I've had 4 C-sections, and several other surgeries and it was All FREE!!!! I love being an Aussie

O.K. In the 50', 60's and 70's America had the coolest cars in the world. The big "Yank Tanks." Now you drive boring SUV's like the rest of us. You have such speed of thought Tristan. Extraordinary. Your delivery is a complete pleasure to watch. Just brilliant.

You are a man of courage and appear to have ethics. Criticising our own country can feel disloyal or unpatriotic. Nothing could be further from the truth. The wise can move or lift themselves above the fray and see what is going on with a broader view. A quality thinker can reasonably look at their society, not judge it but evaluate their community for its pluses and minuses. Well done! It is one-eyed, we are the best, nobody is greater, thinking that starts wars. Being critical of our own country brings with that evaluation a fear of blowback from our contemporaries or peers. Never be frightened. If someone can see a flaw in your thesis, and you recognize that fault also, then you'll be wiser. Outside that, the haters are going to hate. Tristan, your view of your county was balanced and fair, based on your lived experience. You have left your motherland bubble, and you can see with your own eyes what is working and what is not working. A happy life begins with this spiritual formula for our thinking. Be completely "Honest" in all our affairs and be "Open-minded" in our approach to our thinking and worldview. Be very "Willing" to embrace the new. IE: A fresh look at an old idea. Embrace innovative ideas. Plus we promptly admit it when we are wrong. You have done an excellent job on your "Ten things I hate about America" list. An oxymoron says that honesty, open-mindedness, and willingness, plus empathy, compassion, and humility, are all the ingredients that we need to achieve great power and strength. Tristan, you are displaying the beginnings of these traits. If practiced, you'll live a life beyond your expectations.

Kudos. Very perceptive comments.

Great video! Oh, one thing from an Aussie... Biden has a stutter ;)

Tristan, I love you to death, mate. I've only just noticed though that you use the word "like" a LOT. LOL. Normally I don't notice it, but totally did here. ROFL. Keep up the great work, buddy.

You spoke 1123 words in this video, not that I'm counting 😂

I'm an Aussie and yeah Americans don't seem to realise there are other countries lol. I'm 43 and never seen a real gun. I've only seen them on police holsters or armed guards.

I have lots of American friends, I even dated one for a year 🙄, I love America but yeah there are do many things wrong with America. I can remember after 9/11 so many Americans saying they will never fly again (and most of them hadn't anyway) and yet now, they're like, how DARE you tell me to wear a mask! 9/11 was more scary to them than a global pandemic 🤦

Yeah, originally my impressions about America were from Hollywood movies. When I first went there as a tourist, I was seriously shocked about the quality of food, mobile network coverage, the number of homeless people, reservations, how untidy the bigger cities are, I really felt unsafe in many places after the sunset. When it comes to guns and healthcare... Well...Don't know, I personally think that it is somewhat mentally damaging to live with the idea that anyone can shoot you at any time because he had a bad day or that your own country will let you die because it's just too expensive to cure you. The biggest economy in the world you say? College education appears to be in the same category as healthcare, it's there for the rich. I would also point out a law system based on past precedents rather than a specific ruleset. And it feels like the US is an inherently a litigious environment where everyone sues everyone else. It becomes lowers' picnic. :-) If we have to rank the relative importance of different things in society, I have the impression that money will end up above kindness, togetherness, and even human lives. The choice between Hilary and Trump wasn't a particularly exciting one either. :-) I'm sure there is a lot of historical context behind all that that I just don't understand, didn't mean to offend anyone. Having said all that, I still consider that I can go to the US for a couple of years at some point in time in the future to pursue work opportunities.

yeah honestly, being in animation it would be a good idea for me to move to america because the industry is a lot bigger, but i wouldn't actually move there due to the politics, health care and just the general government... :(

America logic: ok so war age is 18 so go to every high school and yoink them BUT BY GOD IF THEY HAVE A SIP OF BEER SO HELP ME

Thanks Tristan, another gem indeed. Just so you know, we take our politics seriously. However, when it's time to vote, on a weekend, bloody hell, I'll be down at the pub. Most annoying.

3:51 adopting the German style of electoral system might allow more minor parties like the Greens and Libertarians into Congress and break the two party system. The German parliament has rarely had a majority for one of the parties and as a result coalitions of two or more parties have had to form through negotiation and compromise in order to govern and get legislation through. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_system_of_Germany

I've been to America many times for work and leisure and have always had a great time. However I couldn't cope with working long-term in a country where I only get 10 days vacation (or holidays) per year. In my state of Australia we have 20 days annual leave plus 11 public holidays. Some of my most precious experiences bringing-up my children has been the opportunity to show them other countries and cultures, including America, using my annual leave. How do families in the US manage to have meaningful family vacations in just 10 days per year?

Public businesses are often badly run in the US due to funding. They are often low on the priority list, because they aren't seen as that important, and "people can live with it". Whereas, a lot of other countries attempt to use these businesses to generate profit, so they put money into them to get more out.

It's odd how he only has 10.2K Like Zander Zon (one of the best bassists now) has 99.7K (def deserves those) But Kuhn deserves at least 50K

You forgot #1 at starting wars.

Agree with your observations.

I think it's fantastic you know things about Australia that I didn't know it's great

I'm considering moving to Houston Texas once this corona stuff is over and done with, first I need to find a job to be eligible for green card though and save for house Do you plan on going for Aus citizenship? Pretty sure Australia and US allows dual I plan on going for dual once I've fullfilled the 5 years of residence in US What hurtles did you have to jump through to become a full time resident in Australia?

I Think what you were trying to say with health care that us Aussie, uk ect have is it shouldn't be money = health care, The health care system needs to change so even the poorest people in America can receive high care as well that won't have them end up on the streets or dead.

I went to America once and I broke my shoulder blade it costed over $300,000 dollars I didn't even have $100,00 I was in debt for 5 years to pay it off. Screw the American health care system

What, no ‘what’s good y’all’ at the start of the video. What is this lol

You're spot on😂

Good vid mate, not too much America bashing just a bit of honest truth. based on common sense and real life observation from outside and looking back inside of America.

I am australian but some of the things you mentioned I hate too, also the 'American' entitlement especially in place like NYC I have known some nice chilled out Americans but they also live in Australia, haha.

Tristan you had a previous video saying you didn't agree with compulsory voting. I think a lot of the issues you raise about US politics could be fixed with our voting system. Having to vote means more opinions & more parties. I think Australia is becoming more bipartisan but no where near US levels.

Pretty spot on.

Good job. You are aware how not great and fantastic America is and there are different and better ways to do things and different attitudes.

This video gave me joy ☺️

Travelling abroad really does educate people 😁

I live here at United States 🇺🇸 Las Vegas NV. I’m tired 😓 of the less vacation. I’m from the Philippines 🇵🇭. But I to transfer there at Australia 🇦🇺 someday

#1 (IMO) American awesomeness is your musical culture. So many, SO MANY (echo echo echo) different genres and instrument combinations created by over a dozen generations of talented and creative people. $0.02

He is sounding like an Aussie,...more relaxed...

7. The rat race and pressure to be "successful" Asian parents around the world: "Where's the problem?"

Hi Tristan. Governments exist on our taxes. Tax provides the means to supply basic services to citizens. Universal Health care, public transportation, education and welfare payments. Nothing is free because we pay via tax. The US Government collects tax from its citizens but does not provide these basic services, what do you get for your tax dollars? Australia never denies health care to anyone regardless of their financial situation, even international visitors. Public transport is available in all our cities to everyone. When I visited the US in 1982 and 2013 I was amazed that some citizens had little knowledge of states other than their own. This does also happen in Australia but to a lesser extent.

It takes maturity to admit your country is not the best - well done. i was really embarrassed by the Aussie 'Karen' who responded to your earlier video about things you didn't like about Australia. I'm grateful to be an Australian but I don't think that we don't have problems or room for improvement.

I hate American spelling of the English language, and their military-industrial complex that has caused so much suffering and death around the world.

Bet you wish you were still in Queensland Tristan 🤣 maybe that's why you're so frustrated, I'm frustrated because I'm from Melbourne 🤣

1: Everything

How much do people from other countries REALLY know about America except for what they see in movies and in television shows. I think it is untrue that people from other countries know about American history or day to day American life.

I also hate buying speakers 🔊 here at the United States 🇺🇸. You need to buy it each. Not by pair.

On efficiency, UPS is NOT efficient! They provide very poor service in this country and I have seen similar comments from US customers. The US health care system is notorious for over servicing. This, coupled with its cost leaves it open to the charge of being inefficient.

American's feel guilty for discussing the weak points of our country because we were taught that "America was the best place in the world, we have the best everything and everyone is safe and happy! If you say something is bad about America you're not a true American." Even after seeing what is happening in my home I feel guilty about wanting things to be better because "Im an american and its bad if you dont like America then you shouldn't be here"

Damn. Tristan came out the gate like an angry bull

Europeans come to America for better quality health care when it’s needed. It’s more about quality and medical breakthroughs vs government run entities

The thing that I hate most is GUNS

Wouldn't the issue be, who would run the country best as a strong and fair leader with some business acumen ? Not a vassal President led by a gang of self centred politicians each with their own agenda ?

You're our AUSSIE American Tristan 💖

Democracy is a system of government where the people get to choose on of two dictators to run their country. The sad part is, due to the election progress the winner does not necessarily need the majority of votes to win. Also, the two parties are remarkably similar in their approach ti running the country, eve though the campaign looks like pre-fight banter at a WWE event.

is it me or does he have big fingers mine are skinny but long

Mate, I love that you know Americans live in a bubble! (Were number 1) I’ve always said, the best American is one that’s outside America, travelling! Then they can see the REAL world. Ps you are helping

You have amazing arms 👍

You should read more on the Electoral College vote for that statement you made with regards to "who should get the most votes should win" and you disclosed your understanding on that part of the said subject. The basic premises for Electoral College vote is that regardless of the population size of each state, all states will have equally vote regardless of sizes, for if you remove Electoral College then two states with the largest population will always win and the other states including Texas vote will be meaningless. Your founding fathers set that policies into law, so that all peoples have the same voting rights. A bit of history goes along way.

What got me looking at Australia videos tonight? The realization that If I board a plane at LAX headed to Oz on July 3, I can skip the 4th of July, when so many of my neighbors don't know when to stop the party. I cringe on behalf of all of our pets, with the noisy fireworks that keep blasting through the night every year. If you want explosions all night, why not go to a war zone?
