all their culture about being lovable good guys who do a goof and like their music

IRL they are the most joyless, dispassionate people who inflict nothing but misery on the world and each other

i say dispassionate but they do love

  • caging people

  • abandoning their sick and elderly

  • poisoning their own children

  • bombing hospitals

Yes and I'm sure you're exactly the same as the worst people in your country.

[–] CalipherJones@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I do see a lot of people around me that are joyless and dispassionate.

The real crazy part is the elderly voted to be abandoned

You are mistaking the American government for the American people.

So the tens of millions of Trump supporters, and the tens of millions of useless centrists, and the tens of millions who don’t even show up…ya know I think that they’re onto something, actually.

The US is a shithole and there are far fewer good people there than shitty or even barely acceptable people. I feel sorry for the good people who live there, really I do, but in general the place can get right fucked.

Those millions of Americans are not (all) calling for cagings and bombings.

Voters and not voters could have done more, but Inaction is not evil.

The people designing policy, supporting policy, implementing policy and executing orders are your focus of anger. Not the general populous.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Right but again, tens of millions of them are and many tens of millions are not distancing themselves from it at nearly even the bare minimum speed.

The general populous had their chance to prove they weren’t that stupid and horrible about a decade ago. And then they all flocked toward Trump three times in a row. Maybe you’re not understanding, which tracks, but even the best case scenario is that the US is filled to the brim with people so utterly, fantastically stupid that they fall for the shit that the conservatives peddle and many who don’t vote GOP still think the conservative Dems are gunna save them.

All the resources in the damn world and it’s a country of poverty, stupidity, and cruelty. Fuck the US.

Who do you think vote for, and form the government?

In a democratic country, the government is a reflection of the people.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Most Republicans fell for the con. They didn't explicitly vote for cages and bombs.

Also, the USA is not a full democracy.

[–] CXORA@aussie.zone 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The ones building and filling those pages are American people. As are the ones manufacturing and selling the bombs.

The statement "Everyone working for the Military industrial complex is at least slightly evil" is hard to argue against.

Are there no powerful, evil people where you live?

Nothing but facts
