Elon Musk is a foreigner that is directly causing our current problems.

The US has been the most evil country on earth long before musk arrived.

No argument there.

I would argue that the British Empire and Belgium were pretty fucking evil long before the US came into existence.

After WW2 most of the worlds imperialism, death and destruction and theft has shifted. The main perpetrator went from being Europe to the US. With Europe remaining complicit of course.

That's a fair point. The US empire expanded tremendously after all the war profiteering from WW2, which allowed for the evil that we see today.

The US is like a franchise of that nightmare though.

Elon Musk is a foreigner

No, he's an American citizen. Or are American liberals full 'blood and soil' now?

Rightwingers don't usually care about whether immigrants have citizenship or not.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago
