About this Quote

In this quote, Wil Wheaton uses a metaphor to compare the world to a bar and America to an upset intoxicated. The imagery of a packed weapon being waved around recommends that America is acting recklessly and aggressively, triggering fear to name a few. However, using the expression "they sure as hell don't respect him" suggests that America's actions are not gathering appreciation or appreciation from others. This quote might be analyzed as a commentary on America's present political climate and how its actions might be causing more damage than excellent. It also highlights the importance of respect in relationships and how it can not be forced through worry or intimidation.
