    I did. Like… What the fuck has America done for the world in the past 50 years it didn’t immediately obliterate the karma of 10 seconds later by deepthroating lobbyists or invading a country?

    And its not like the people are any better. The entire country is filled with people who take claim for the good things of others while rejecting people doing actions they disagree with. Like 2% of the country actually does shit and everyone else coasts on that. When confronted about why, they will blame every single thing under the fucking sun except themselves. It can’t possibly be because barely half of Americans voted and STAGGERINGLY fewer ever engaged in the process outside of casting a single ballot every 4 years. No. It has to be because of propaganda (that every country has) or work issues (which every country has) or some other egotistical garbage that is so insanely self centered that the person seems to forget that America isn’t unique.

    America has never had to accept responsibility for anything that it has ever done on the world stage and that mentality bled over to its people.

    So yeah. I saw a felon taking over the white house coming from miles away because that is, at the core, what every American wants. To have everything handed to them with no effort while escaping all consequences. They were fucking deluded to think otherwise.

    My respect for Americans has never been high but it’s nearing the basement at seeing the fucking pity party Americans are throwing for themselves over shit they made happen. I’ve got very little sympathy to be had for people upset at the current situation when their enormous contribution to checks notes STOPPING NAZIS was to cast a ballot once every four years.

    See here’s the thing, if the international laws that came about as a response to what the various members of the Axis forces did applied to the US…Every post WW2 president would’ve been executed for war crimes.

    Literally every one of them is guilty of war crimes as well as most of the people in those administrations

    If we convicted Trump of as many as 30 something felonies, why didn’t we convict any other president for any of the horrible things they did?

      I see you struck a few nerves. But you’re right. It’s disgusting, but this right here is why they have turned “do your own research” into a meme, essentially - because a colloquialism loses its original meaning. And suddenly millions of people can literally no longer comprehend the idea of research.

      I mean, for hell sake don’t people realize there’s about a million very terrible, but very real, reasons why we have a law that states if the ICC detains an American, the military must immediately launch an attack to retrieve that person.

      As I’ve said before, we’re literally the reason the term “banana republic” exists. The citizens were fine, happy even! Their government wasn’t even hostile. But they threatened the profits of Dole I believe it was, so the US government sent in the military, overthrew em, and installed a puppet.

      Insert “are we the baddies” meme

      Basically, the fascists were guaranteed winners in WW2; these fuckers were already infiltrating everyone.
