  Some Americans are pretty cool, though. Not everyone is a piece of shit like in the administration. Many are, but many are also pretty based.

  Speaking as a European.

    Thanks. As someone from the USA, I will say that perhaps the vast majority of us are dumbass pieces of shit. But it’s not everyone, and there are some pockets of civilized people, even in this hellhole. Hope you’re managing to keep cool in the heat wave over there!

  Don’t tolerate religious conservatives in your country. It could happen to you.

    This country is founded on religious conservatives lol

    Not to say your sentiment about them being bad is wrong, but rather to say, you should extend that sentiment to realizing that America is what America has always been. Just ask the natives, or most South Americans, or the Vietnamese, or the Iraqis, or the Yemeni people, or the Palestinians, or…

      99% of the planet at that time was religious conservatives.

  Not all americans, but all the ones at the top that can make money are absolutely abusing and exploiting the system at the cost of the earth and life itself. Green supercedes everything in America. Unbelievably sad.

    It’s not abusing or exploiting the system. Massive wealth accumulation is the goal of capitalism and is inevitable so long as egregiously wealthy families are able to pass that wealth on.

    Alternatively / additionally, “the purpose of a system is what it does”

      The goal of capitalism is not to accumulate this much wealth at the expense of other people. It’s for competitive markets, not oligarchs and monopolies like we have now, where a few companies literally own everything.
