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 :)
