One of the things that 'Muricans don’t seem to understand is that the most awful, the worst most humiliating and the most absurd reason that the civilised world sneers at them is because they chose stupidity and ignorance

Lmao. Just ignore every poll that says a majority of US Americans want universal healthcare, higher taxes on billionaires, legal weed, green energy, EVs, and stronger labor laws and you’re absolutely correct!

if its really majority then things would improve, no? Politcans would get elected that make these things happen?
Or if that majority is powerless to do anything, then they should cry out that america is not democracy so loudly that other countrys couldnt ignore it, provided that this majority actually cares and doesnt just wish things were better but conform with the regime and choose ignorance.
Talk is cheap, actions are what matter.

I wish i knew, peaceful ways dont seem to do anything and violent ways can easily give the oppressors more excuses to make things worse, at least if you dont have good plans. At least it might lessen americas grip on the rest of the world.
Though then again, has any non-demoratic country succesfully turned things around? I dont really know if this is uncharted territory.

Lol right? Like seeing a kid getting beat up by a bully with an obvious born-with advantage and being like “I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR THIS THO! YOU’RE SO STUPID AND AWFUL, KID!”
