Tineye tracks this image back to 2017 and Pimsleur is old school in every way (including factoids) so the info behind it could easily be a last minute drunken assignment from 50 years ago.
We're a lot more globalized and everyone has been exposed to the America "character" through mass media since then. My advice to American tourists is to stop comparing everything to "back home" and to realise you are constantly breaking taboos but your hosts are too polite to tell you. And to remember this when the similarily offend you.
Too much Novacaine etc can make the skin go all mushy which makes it more difficult to tattoo and heal, which increases the chances of it looking crap. Instead, people with money and aversion to pain get put under general euthanasia while a team of artists all tattoo at the same time. The only real downside is that general anaesthesia is always dangerous so it's probably too big a risk just to avoid a few hours of pain and discomfort
I don't believe it's as unpopular as you think. The one-state (final) solution has been the only acceptable answer for decades, and everyone turned a blind eye to turning Gaza into a prison while "settlers" terraform the West Bank.
The other guy moved his embassy to disputed territory, firmly claiming the whole of Jerusalem for one side. "Their 911" plays a huge part in maufacturing consent in casual observers, and "never again" was always tongue-in-cheek.
Honestly, does anyone still care about the enslavement and cultural destruction of Chinese Uyghurs? How about the Rohingya genocide?
This election comes down to narcissistic boomers who believe the world should die with them. Their pop religion tells them armageddon will happen in their lifetime and the other guy is offering a way to make it happen.
Life has been objectively getting worse for years. The end of the world (or at least the american experiment) is on the ballot - the question is whether enough voters want to burn it all down.
