The states is a 3rd world country man, been one for a while if it even is one
I dream of the day that we make America a place that OP would like to visit.
It doesnt matter, america affects every one on the planet.
Negatively. By stealing and hoarding resources? By destabilizing world politics? By driving and supporting war across the globe? Most earthlings are unaffected by these things directly. America is not that important.
The negative impact is real and very important. And in the future it can be even worse.
Bobby, if those kids could read, they’d be very upset.
Meanwhile there’s those of us in the US
I wouldn’t get too cozy over there. We’ll just end up bringing America to you :) Sleep soundly
I’m not sure I get it, is the joke colonialism?
America’s best export is suffering. Right now we call them tarrifs.
Thanks to closing down USAid, we gave up soft power.
A coalition of the willing, ready to make the world safe for Democracy, like 80 years ago.
Swap the beaches of Normandy for Chesapeake Bay.
How I sleep knowing that 90% of my genuine reddit opinions result in fire that can melt steel beams in world trade center.
Meanwhile my mere presence at the holy sites of Jerusalem or even in means of transportation has similar effect. Honestly maybe I would trade this talent away for something more useful because no-one even wants to pay me for it.
It takes zero conscious effort on my part too. So I would be getting some good passive income like this. If you want someone pissed off hire me and I will push all the right buttons
The fuck does this word salad mean?
I think its a bot. Been seeing more posts that look like llms trying to comment but failing
See? I am fucking perfect at this
Sir sir, this is a Wendy’s.
Lucky bastard, can you like abduct me or something?
Your government will do that for you
Yeah no shit.
You shouldn’t be sleeping soundly. Most of you are only a few steps behind us on the same path.
Yeah since everything is tied to the fucking dollar and whatever America does affects us all it’s not really surprising.
This is a very ignorant view.
Most Americans don’t live in America.
“in the US…”
Right now, wherever you are, there are people paid by the USA trying their best to make your life worse in order to
- Align your country’s foreign policy closer to the goals to that of the USA
- Shape your economy so that American corporations can enrich themselves by extracting the maximum value out of your country.
So yeah, there is no escape from America. That’s the whole point of being the global hegemon.
Yeah but we still have free health care and strong unions/labour laws, so it’s not that bad
Yes. Trumps cabinet leveraged the German company SAP to adhere to their DEI agenda. Trumps ideological ilk connects with each other worldwide to share strategies and knowledge, which of course includes our AfD, which used to be pretty vocal about their support for Trump and has now become uncannily quiet about it.
I don’t think enough people noticed the Trump regime’s demands that EU destroy their own healthcare just so theirs could look, well, not better but less terrible by comparison.
This is not a joke. These people will absolutely do everything they can to rob the few nations on this Earth that manage to take care of their citizens to the point they’re all beholden to the same crime lord family.
Yeah, do not even for a second entertain the notion that European companies wouldn’t love it if your health insurance were held hostage by your employment like it is in the USA.
The truth of the matter is European quality of life has been coasting on the gains made in the past by the blood and sweat of the unions and the concessions made by the governments to stave off the specter of communism. Billionaires in the US are seeing this slice of wealth and are coming for it via the populist right-wing parties in every country. If anyone can get this fact through the thick skull of anti-immigrant voters, let me know.
The Trump administration is way too incompetent to actually achieve anything. They want that from the EU but they are also throwing away their own good cards to apply any pressure.
If the US pull out their NATO troops from Europe, have their statements leaked that they hate to help Europe, and impose insane tariffs on Europe no matter what, they have nothing to pressure Europe with.
European nations cancel F-35 orders and order Rafaele, Eurofighter, and Gripen instead and there is nothing the US can do about it now. It’s the same with healthcare. The US have nothing to pressure the EU with.
Good thing Trump’s absolutely destroyed any kind of international leverage the United States had. That’s the one silver lining to all of this: The USA has been on a steady path to fascism for a while, accelerating under Republicans and slowing down under Democrats but never reversing. However, now that you’ve gone fully mask-off you did it under the leadership of an outright moron, who’s making it much harder for Americans to drag the rest of the world down with them.
When I was a dumb kid, I really wanted to come and live in the US. I managed to visit it twice.
I will never ever go again. 🤞
Bro, man visited NY for less than a day during my visit to Toronto as a child, genuinely the worst place I’ve ever been to, in so many ways, it was as bad as I thought it would be, calling it a concrete jungle is lowkey an insult to jungles wallahi.
You know most of the US is rural, yeah?
One time I heard music, it was Hanson; fucking hate music now.
This has to be satire right?
Nah, js a miscommunication if you thought I was talking about Toronto, as became apparent after reading the reply to your comment, I wrote that comment like a dyslexic so mb, but mans got mad love for 🇨🇦 🖤
I’ve found the USA to have some of the nicest, most welcoming people I’ve ever met. Probably some of these people have been lead down dark voting paths, against their own, and the world’s, best interests. All we can really hope for is enough people speak sense persuasively enough for them to hear it. And that means being understanding, empathetic and tolerant.
This comment is a breath of fresh air in this doomer echo chamber. Somewhere along the line people stopped wanting to fix things and now the people we need to save this country are leaving in droves. We need to remain positive and organized.
I live in America. It’s 2 AM and I just awoke from a nightmare wherein I was running from the govt. My wife, dog, and I were in hiding at my home, with friends occupying the place to help us stay hidden. But a drone spotted me. I shot it down, but we had 10 minutes to pack what I could into a short yellow schoolbus (which quickly became a British double-decker) and take off before agents showed up to capture or kill us.
By the way, I’m a white male, married to a white woman, and by all outside appearances, cis and “normal”. Probably one of the most protected classes in America right now. And even I’m having nightmares about where our country is headed and when it’ll be “my turn.”
I woke up, picked up my tablet, and this was the top post in my feed. 😣
Small, probably stupid tip, but what the hell. There is an almost surefire way to kill drones without needing a firearm. Buy a high-powered laser (>5W). It obviously won’t be enough to take the drone down, but just a fraction of a second of that beam is enough to permanently destroy the camera. The downside is that the beam is very visible so you’d also be giving away your location. Also works on static cameras like traffic cams, number plate readers, …
I live in latam
better than living in North Mexico/South Canada
