If someone did a horrific thing and then told me they weren’t as guilty as their boss I’d be fairly confident saying that if their first priority was to justify their actions then they can also get absolutely fucked.

The US was never really that against them. Their motivation in WW2 was not nearly as morally perfect as they like to pretend.

I’m not going to go refind the examples, but there have been stories about things soldiers do that are definitely not ordered by anyone else. There can be a level of cruelty at times that is completely on the individual and they cannot always hide behind “I was told to”.

Yea, because that was a deflection and not what we’re talking about. You said that the US has stood for diversity but at every stage of its existence it has stood on the backs and necks of minorities and has struggled to even admit that it has a problem. Even the last admin was ok with Israel wiping out every Palestinian man, woman, and child and sure that’s across the world but if they’re chill with genocide that sets the bar LOW. And buddy have you SEEN how they disenfranchise minority voters? The gerry-mandering maps are fucking WILD. They don’t give a fuck about the people who, to them, are just cheap labour.

Also I live in Canada which beat the US to gay marriage by 10 years and is where many black people escaped the US to. We are far from perfect but at least we had a female prime minister for a few months and a brown guy with a turban leads one of our three major parties. We also have a huge homeless problem but at least they have access to healthcare, and as far as surface-deep things like restaurants are concerned we have just as much diversity in our cities as the US does(and just as much bland, franchised nonsense out of the cities). French is our official second language but the US only has English despite all its Spanish speakers and the fact that a lot of it is straight-up old Mexican territory.

Ok but how does any of that make it good? That’s being relativistic and we can do soooo much better than that, can’t we?

Do better than jerking off terrible people who are only “totally awesome” because they’re not as bad as some of the other options. Nothing is forcing them to be like that so they have no excuse, and the rest of my original point still stands that your opinion based on what you enjoyed to consume as a tourist is laughably out of touch.

That’s a lot of copium. The US has never really been a diverse place where everyone is equal, it just has very good marketing, brand recognition, and fairy open borders so people tend to move there. Plus with the world speaking so much English it’s fairly accessible.

A lot of the times that you see non-WASP culture in the US it’s just stuff that a tourist might enjoy like cheap food, music, and art, or landscapes that are actively being destroyed by weak governments. So yea, maybe the people who are there and struggling can put on a good show but that doesn’t make it a good place.

The first black person to go to public school is still alive and she’s not even that old. Being gay is still dangerous outside of cities(and even within them sometimes!). There are two different rule sets for white and coloured people that are clear to see. The rich are never punished for their crimes and that’s even when the Democrats, the best they can offer, have all the power to do something about it. They aggressively export regressive ideals to other countries, too.

It’s always sucked.

“Robot arms!”

Because they lost their limbs in an avoidable industrial mining accident because safety was too expensive.

“But look at ‘em!”

Bruh.

I more mean that the “help” doesn’t have anything useful haha

“Help.”

“It is what it is.”

“Fuck.”

Trumps actions have directly impacted this, though. He loudly and proudly halted efforts to get bird flu under control and his tariffs will absolutely raw-fuck the entire country in a million ways including when it comes to the prices of gas because he’s literally put a tariff on it.

This isn’t complicated, keep up or shut up.

Out of all the possible responses you chose the one that makes you out yourself as completely fucking deranged. I’ve been eating a lot of eggs lately so let’s just skip over you wrongfully assuming that I’m vegan and go from there.

Also, go to therapy you fuck.

Except for day’s you’re sick, stuck inside, etc. Then when you get older the walking would be harder but you still gotta breathe. Plus you can still work any job you’d like since people do like to keep busy, and since it’d probably be more of a passion thing you might be hyper-focused and forget to get your walking in for the day. All the stuff I’d be doing wouldn’t have too much walking involved.

I’d take breath, it’s already more money than I could ever spend so why not make it passive?

Except that there’s rarely anything better. Maybe slightly, but it’s all garbage. Fuck my career, it’s not some douchebags hostage to hang over me like it’s my fault for not producing excellent work for garbage pay.

Those seem like contradictory statements? I’ll take as much pride in my work as it takes to make sure that I can get hired at a better job but I’m not going above and beyond and I am not hurting myself over it, ever.

What the fuck is this racist garbage? OP are you ok/are you fucking serious?

Ok? What’s your point? Time to start chippin’ away, I guess.

That douche bag CEO isn’t gunna get his life back and so on top of the reviews we got:

• One dead asshole, hell yea.
• That one company rolling back their decision to charge even more for anesthesia.
• A whole lot of people learning even more about how fucked up healthcare really is.
• A bit of an uptick in class solidarity
• One step in the right direction.

Shut the hell up, is what I’m trying to say.

Yes, because the disaster that is the stock market is really going to prove anything. Economies work best when small amounts change hands often and all these people who deal in stocks care about are big numbers and getting in on the action of stealing more and more money.

They’re excited about lower taxes, removal of regulation, and the ability to further exploit the working class for short term gain. That’s all. If they actually gave a shit about having a strong economy they’d be paying their people well enough to supporty and not be chasing infinite growth in a finite system.

Yea with the amount of USB-A stuff still in circulation everyone dropping it early was so fuckin’ weak. That’ll shit’ll still be useful a decade from now.
