You’re right, but they’ll hate you for it

Too many of the “good” Americans have still bought into the system

They celebrate selfishness, fetishise “the grind”, are materialistic and superficial

Not to mention their perverse ideas of what actually constitutes freedom…

Is your usual source for things pulling them out of your arse?

Nah, 'Muricans have being dicks pretty much sewn up too

Hey, I’m a straight middle-aged man whose favourite colour is purple and I like wearing skirts for comfort…

Ohhhhhh…

(jokes aside, when I wear a kilt I’m told it’s awesome and I get really annoyed that people wouldn’t treat one of my trans friends the same way)

You have strength that I couldn’t imagine and carry a weight every day that would be beyond me

I live in what is considered “regional” Australia

The inbred hicks who think that sharing a name with a coloniser who died a hundred years ago is a flex resent it when they’re shown up as simple, unworldly people

They resent the stereotypes, but they go out of their way to reinforce all of the worst of them

Luckily, they’re not Queenslanders, or Territorians, so it could be worse

I still have say that I live in paradise, but I choose my company

Whisky

No “E”

Unless you’re Irish or *shudder" 'Murican…

Lemmy is still mostly populated by 'Muricans

So, odds are even the slightly less stupid ones still hold religious beliefs, or at least some stupid notion that such nonsense should be beyond criticism because of an invisible sky-daddy

Baseline obs haven’t changed in a hundred years

We do a fair job at banning some of their people too

I like seeing local losers pay for tickets to the speaking event of some utter cunt who will be refused a visa, and then the pathetic losers whine about losing their money

‘Murica got exactly what’ Murica deserved

There are awful, powerful people in the background pulling the levers of power, but this isn’t new

It has always been fucked. It wasn’t founded on the ideals of freedom or anything noble

It was stolen, then built with slavery, and that slavery was just rebranded as capitalism so white people would buy into it, so long as they still felt superior to everyone else

The cruelty and greed have always been the defining characteristics

They’ve slipped a bit since voting in Luxon and his merry band of cunts, but it’s still not bad

Australia and New Zealand are pretty great

Yep,

But it still has a stranglehold on the world

There’s no excuse for a developed country to be swayed by superstitious claptrap, but 'Murica isn’t really a developed country, culturally speaking

‘Murica is a laughing stock, and rural’ Murica somehow managed to be even more stupid

I’d like to watch each member of this group burn, slowly

One at a time while the rest watch, knowing that they’re next

All I do on reddit is post my “performance art”, have fun menacing dorks and on extremely rare occasions offer helpful advice

If I’m providing usable data, then either their algorithm has failed miserably, or I have

Not to mention that a “suppressed” shot is actually still pretty loud, but people believe what they see in movies

I guarantee that you can’t do shit with an internal combustion vehicle either, but you like to make noise

Yeah, but fortunately there’s a whole world outside of 'Murica where we drive normal EVs because we’re not trying to compensate for our inadequacies

It’s almost as though it’s a backwards country, full of stupid people or something
