I rather live in a country with a homicide rate of 0.5 than one with 5.7. Actually, I will combine USA and Mexico, because their deaths are on USA's hands. That is about a rate of 30.0, which is insane, dude. Absolutely insane that you are fighting for that.
China is coming to Mexico. We have cut so many ties with American suppliers and businesses to instead open new deals with the Chinese. All thanks to the tariffs. We will allow and help them do whatever they want near the border too. We will support them with whatever they need to remove this lousy neighbor we have upstairs, and there will be nothing Americans can do about that without looking like Nazi Germany.
It is thanks to people like you that keep the American Dream alive in the heads of centrists and MAGAs that Mexican Cartels, Russians, Chinese, Arabs, Indians, Africans and some Europeans are sending thousands of their people into America all thanks to Trump's Gold Cards. As that Russian General, Nikita Khrushchev once said: "We do not have to invade the United States, we will make it ours from within" and also "You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright, but we'll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you'll finally wake up and find you already have communism. We won't have to fight you. We'll so weaken your economy until you'll fall like overripe fruit into our hands." They were NOT joking at all. They nailed it so well.
How much money have you donated to promising candidates' campaigns in your life? Less than 10,000$? That will never make an impact. We have an unfathomable amount of money, governments and cartels do, and we will use it to get our own politicians elected in every single State. We will force you to choose between politician A which appeals to empathy, or politician B which appeals to sympathy, and sometimes apathy too because Americans are mentally ill, rabid and violent. You don't even have a quarter of what the average baby boomer had at your age, like 7+ children (in Mexico, in the USA the Fertility Rate was 6.0+), a big home for them, economics stability... No, instead, you keep crying about AAA videogames raising their price 10 or 20 mere bucks, about housing and healthcare costs, about RAM prices... You treat Steam Sales like ponds of water in a dry desert. You celebrate and feel genuine joy when you buy an indie game at a discount, from 15 dollars down to 10, because you are so fucking broke. People are getting their first home at an average of 54 years old today. The fertility rate in the USA, Mexico, China, Japan and more are below 2.1, which means the population is shrinking, people cannot afford to have a family of at least 3 children as they should, but at least China has 1.4 billion people already, they probably don't need more right now, you in the other hand, you will, especially thanks to ICE. More and more people are lonely, don't have a partner, have never had sex, have never experienced real genuine love, the warmth of a partner around your arms while you slide your hand under their underwear and have fun at the privacy of your own home. After people turn 30, the chances of having problems with pregnancies arise significantly, children come out with disabilities more often. The clock is ticking, and you are still using your time to try and convince people that China is worse or "equally bad" as the USA, so that people never get to see what they could be doing better themselves. You don't need to invite China in, you just have to grab what works for them and apply it yourselves, but you won't do that, because as I said, Americans are mentally ill. You see outsiders as enemies, as irredeemable demons you should never associate yourself with. You don't learn other languages nor read books or a long post like this one because you think you are the center of the world, the smartest, the best, and that everyone should be sucking your dick, while in fact you have always been this monster. I mean, last night I saw that post that said there was a village called Seneca Village, a thriving black community your racist ass politicians demolished and erased from existence to build your famous Central Park out of spite. I investigated a little further and found out that you've done that to so many black communities around the country. Even the White House was built by black slaves. You have always been this disgusting racist evil monster that only cares about itself, money, and power. You did NOT join WWII to save the Jews or because you felt bad for them, you did it because you didn't want Germany to become more powerful than you. You are not a savior, you only cause death and destruction everywhere you go. It was about time you elected Trump and removed the mask completely. Trump has been the best thing that has happened to American Haters and also American Patriots, because there is now no excuses left. You either fix the country, or die with it, and it seems it's going to be the latter looking at how weakened and inactive Americans are. It's over, dude. Just, sit down and enjoy your movies, your videogames, your TV shows until time catches up, because there is absolutely nothing else you can do about this. Soon, it's going to be Trump Jr. the one who will run for the presidency, and he will win. And then his son, and the son of his son and so on...
Is that what you are fighting for? How are you going to fight like that? Are you going to keep people dreaming about what the "American Dream" should be like? You are the one causing more human suffering than I am. At least I have the balls to say these things that should help you if you know how to use it. You will keep telling people that China is worse than America, China is worse than America, China is worse than America, so they never ever look at what the other side of the world looks like. Keep them in their ignorance. Do not let them learn from others. That's your goal and your mission here, to serve the oligarchs, to serve the interests of capitalists. This is why they made you hate China this bad, so that you keep rooting for that homicidal rate of 30.0+, for that Gini coefficient of 41.8. You are doing a great job at destroying America from within. People who hate America like me love people like you so much. Keep telling people that China is worse, please. I can't wait to see America die, all thanks to people like you and your endless loyalty and support to us.
You could instead convince people that there are countries more powerful than theirs doing better, instead of feeding their ego and keeping them blind. I dislike so many things about the CCP myself, they are not perfect, but compared to America... Oh boy. You should be taking notes from them, not dismiss them like you constantly do. Otherwise, you will never get rid of billionaires or the elite class, and therefor you are fighting for absolutely nothing but keeping the world as it currently is. The fact is that you NEED socialism and communism to make a better world. An unchecked capitalism is destroying us. Stop trying to pretend that you can fix it. You will need communist and socialist policies to do that.
You got the wrong person. Its scary how irrational you are.
No, dude, I am talking to you. You are the one causing more human suffering than I am by keeping people in ignorance. People who hate America love people like you. Keep demonizing China, keep people away from learning what they could be doing better. To me, it won't matter if you win or lose, because I hate America so much for all the innocent deaths and economic instability they have caused in my country, but I also still love it because I love humankind. The world would be so boring and detrimental if it was perfect. So, whether you win or not, it will not make a difference anymore.
Keep calling me irrational, doing that will just keep helping the elite class. The people that are currently hurting you all. After all, everything I said about you not having even a quarter of what the average baby boomer had at your age, like 7+ children, a big home or economic stability, is a lie, no? Or is it because the reply is so long, and for people with small brains, long text = irrational, long text = schizo, long text = he's mad, long text = me too lazy to read, my two neurons can't keep up. You sound like a MAGA, dude. They all reply just like you do, without dismantling anything, only insulting or trying to make themselves sound calm and normal. You should be angrier if you truly cared about humanity or your country, but it's clear you don't.
I wont work myself over someone who is so emotionally unstable.
Weak. People who hate America love people like you. Thank you for this.
Youre not saying anything. Its cliche
That's not up to you to decide, it's up to the silent readers. Keep replying like MAGA people do, though. Short, empty hollow insults, without ever dismantling anything I said with logic or common sense, because obviously, you can't. It was people like you that led me to Hasan and made me watch him and like him. It's also people like you that made me hate America the most. Keep it up!
You know nothing about maga. Hasan didn't save you. You care nothing about america and you are dead set demonstrating it.
MAGA is destroying America from within. Mexican Cartels paid so much money to get Trump elected along Russians. Now, thanks to Trump's Gold Cards, Mexicans, Russians, Chinese, Indians, Arabs, Africans and some Europeans are sending thousands of their people into America and soon we will elect our own politicians in every single State. You don't even have a quarter of what the average baby boomer had at your age, like 7+ children, a big home and economic stability. There is no way for you to fund the campaign of a promising candidate, but we can. We will force you to elect politician A or politician B, both selected by us, and there will be absolutely nothing you can do about it, because morons like you are helping us relentlessly by attacking the few voices that are trying to help you, like Hasan.
Thank you for that. Keep it up, I mean it.
... omg you finally got through to me! I cant have 7+ children! Omg this is devastating. To think my house, I cant even own it. America has fallen and it was the work of mexican cartels.
/scene
I did not blame the Mexican Cartels for any of that. It was all on you and your relentless support for capitalists like Jeffrey Epstein and Trump. I'm just saying that Cartels are taking advantage of Russia meddling in your country through Krasnov (Trump), sending thousands of their men to America so they can do whatever the fuck they want there. It's ironic, because you elected Trump to "strengthen" the border, yet, cartels and people who will fuck you in the ass have it much easier to get in it now. All they need is a good haircut and a pair of glasses to bypass your racist ass.
The USA empowered and created the Mexican Cartels by the way. Reagan and Nixon forced us to join the pointless war on drugs, and we only have 1 or 2 gun factories in Mexico, which don't even make the guns narcos use, they use American ones, and America is their biggest consumer, hence the reason you spend over a trillion USD a year just to fix the fentanyl crisis, unsuccessfully. You keep inflating your chest about coming here and solving the issue yourselves, ever since the 90s, but you aren't doing and will never do shit about it, because you can't. Narcos create fear among Mexicans, which makes them work for low wages in America out of fear of returning here, and you exploit that to make more profit, of course, not you, the rich, you are a nobody who is broke and doesn't even have a quarter of what the average baby boomer had at your age.
Yeah, you will never live the awesome life a baby boomer had, you will stay a miserable virgin who has to come online and attack empathetic people, because you are trash, and trash lacks creativity and intelligence, it is what it is. I don't complain though, you exist to amuse. If the world was perfect, it'd become boring
Wow, I really admire you and take what you say to heart. Youre such a great person and your words are so meaningful.
I don't care if you win or lose. I've dealt with so, so many insufferable evil assholes in my life that I now hate you as much as I love you. If you win and manage to build a good peaceful world, good. If you lose and suffer, good. It's up to you to decide that.
Why don't you say anything about the fact America forced Mexico to join that war? Or that they empowered the cartels, like, for example, George Bush's "Fast & Furious Operation" from the early 2000s, remember what happened there? It's a small one in a sea of failures and crimes. Or the fact cartels are taking advantage of the Trump's Gold Cards to send thousands of their men into America and soon elect their own politicians along Russians, Chinese, Indians, Arabs, etc? Will you still support Trump after that by attacking the few leftist or pro-Palestinian voices that want to help you fix that, like Hasan and his community?
93 billion USD a year is what multiple sources concede we need to fix World Hunger. Over the past decade, the USA spent over 24 trillion USD in the military, in war, in producing bombs, missiles, drones and bullets to kill people. That is, if we stretch those 93 billion over a decade too, it's 10% of that military budget. 10% of the American military budget alone is what the world needs to solve World Hunger. Yet you see a lot of people complaining about housing costs, getting their first home at 54 years old, a fertility rate of 1.5, which means the population is declining, because the ideal would be to have at least 2.1 (round up to 3) children to grow. There is still enough space, about 10% of the total housing units in America are vacant, which is about 15 million homes not being used because they are being exploited by rich people to make more profit off morons like you.
Waaaaah waaaah, RAM prices skyrocketed! Waaaah waaaah, Nintendo raised AAA videogames' prices by 10 or 20 mere bucks! Waaaah waaaah Brian Thompson deserved to die because the Healthcare system has killed so many innocent people in America because they prioritize money over people's lives. Waaaah waaaah, we will never experience even an ounce of the lifestyle baby boomers had at our age, we will have to stay home with mom and daddy, playing videogames, working for a company that still pays the same minimum wage from 2 decades ago that ignored inflation. Everything is so expensive! I have to wait for Steam Sales, which are like ponds of water in a dry desert, to buy a fucking indie game at 10$ instead of 15$. But here I am! Attacking the few people that are trying to help me!
What should one do to help people that refuse to be helped?
You know what? I want you to hate me. I want you to ignore everything I said. It's all a lie. Do not believe me. The world is okay, everything is okay, you are okay, and you are living the happiest life you could ever get. Do not worry, I am just some crazy angry nobody in the Internet rambling nonsense because I am mentally ill as people like you love to say. Silence is power too, maybe I should never share these thoughts with you, so that the chances of you losing are higher. So that you keep fighting sideways instead of up. Rich people love that. Good luck :)
