    It’s not only Americans. It’s every western or western-infected country. Racist pieces of shit whose mask of acceptance and equality slipped off at the smallest of inconveniences.

    Not just Americans. Right wing all around the world is doing the same thing. Even here in Portugal, same rhetoric from Chega.

      I have a friend here in the Netherlands who blames leftist policies on all problems here, in spite of us having right-wing governments for 20+ years. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        we in Italy have people (and right wing politicians) constantly saying that all the problems are caused by the left in 20 years of govern but in the last 30 years, most of the time it was right wing parties in power or if we had ““left”” wing parties they were in coalition with right wing ones so you couldn’t even call it a left government

        And we should also talk how we barelly have a left because it’s mostly center left and center

    Yep. Social security is terrible. Grandma is why everything is terrible right now. Not Musk or Altman or Theil. Grandma and her entitlement to money she worked for, for years.

    It’s such a sad state of affairs, my local next door forum is full of things like, headlines of people getting slap on the wrist punishments for sexual assault of a minor and then people responding with “this is what socialism is doing to this country”.

    Umm yeah, I’m sure mandami winning mayor in new york this year is why this bright red state, with a bright red state senate and bright red state house of representatives has had such lax laws that haven’t been updated in 30 years.

      Okay, but is it really Bright Red? What if there’s an enormous fifth column of hidden leftists who are actually making things worse? Please consider that I don’t actually like half the people in my government. And anyone I don’t like is a Secret Socialist. While anyone I do like is red in tooth and claw fighting a Rambo-esque insurgency against armies of invisible tankies who want America to fail.

    Um, aktuly, the Billionaires are all Chinese and Muslim Terrorist. And they are the ones coming over the border, via Trende De Agua, with the help of AOC and Hillary Killington, who both got rich smuggling children for Jeffery Epstein. So we have to fight back by passing out AR-15s to the beautiful Christian patroits along the Texas-Mexico border and telling them to fire when you see the whites of their eyes, just like the Founding Fathers told us to.

    Because, under Real Capitalism, none of this would be happening. The problem is all the Socialist Fake Capitalism that’s been imposed on us by the College Marxists and the Woke Cathedral of Hollywood Sickos. We need a New American Revolution to wash away the wicked. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown.

    Also, I should note, I’m typing this from a McMansion in the Texas hill country while sitting on a cool $50M in SpaceX IPOs. So when we say “Things are bad right now” what I hear is “My neighbors are unseasonably tan and I’m not allowed to sexually assault the house workers with impunity” not “I’m suffering even a modicum of physical discomfort or personal danger.”

    Because they don’t believe those three questions are actual problems. Billionaires will enslave them and they’ll still blame us for it instead…

    I am starting to feel like the gun toting hillbillies we have made fun of for 30 years are more than our opposition.

    Genuinely everyone has a story about talking to one exactly like this. It’s like they put a chip in their brain to prevent making the connection.

    I can’t do anything about the evil billionaires. They already own the politicians and I can’t compete financially with that.

    If we replace 100 of the blatantly billionaire and corporate owned politicians by voting in 100 who seem uncorrupted and idealistic and full of passion then most of them have sold out for personal gain before the election is even done. Within a year or two something like 98 of the 100 will have sold out their ideals for monies.

    So what can I do? I can blame immigrants and brown people. Sure, it doesn’t actually help, but seeing goon squads in the street beating brown folks with batons and shooting innocent women for no reason at least puts a smile on my face. I can’t change the world, but I can at least find a bit of happiness in it. <3
