Americans are by far the most selfish, brutish, violent and evil people to ever exist. As long as they get their treats they are totally ok with murdering millions of people and destroying the ecosystem while lecturing you that they're doing all they can. Shithole country for shithole people. Death to America.

All the bureaucracy is suddenly smooth sailing when they want to bomb the fuck out of kids in the middle east, but all these weird rules and regulations are in the way of anything remotely challenging their interests.

Weird how democracy works that way. Almost like that's the point!

After reading remarks from libs on Lemmy, I want to point out two things:

  1. No significant number of leftists would vote for a real estate mogul turned fascist gameshow host. If you believe otherwise, it's likely because it makes thinking about the US political situation easier by giving you another illiberal fall guy.

  2. Voting in the US is a pastiche of democratic participation, made to look like we've been handed all we need to make the democracy machine go brrr. We revere it so much because it's the best we've ever had, but other braver and more imaginative people have tried more direct, less capitalistic methods of democracy, usually before being crushed, libelled, bombed or couped by the US and its allies. If Americans ever find the backbone to collectively fight and make sacrifices for something better, future generations might have a chance of not growing up in the most grotesque, inhuman future imaginable. Libs can help with this, but you're the only ones who can decide whether you put your efforts toward capitalism or democracy. They're like oil and water.

The bottom one is likely to destroy the child crushing machine by being inept. The top will keep it maintained for decades to come.

"I threw too many children in at the same time and now the gears are all gunked up :("

"We should start a domestic education program allowing the working class to learn how to clean the gears for free if they spend 4 years rounding up kids to throw in there".

I see some libs are angry with this. Lmao (Republicans can also go fuck themselves)

Republicans are libs too, in that they too support the continuation of the child crusher that is capitalist hegemony. Leftism begins with anti-capitalism. The US has two pro-capitalist parties with different branding, much like Pepsi and Coke.

Sorry, but to have them understand better it's better to have them understand in burger talk

So imagine Mcdonalds and Burger King....

Libertarians: I will have sex with this child. Then crush it due to no non-aggression pact.
