Oh? Tell me about your country then. There have always been issues. There was a lot of precursor to this. But there has never been anything this bad. America was a beacon for the world, despite our violations and blemishes. Relative to the rest of history, we were leading the world ina better direction,. Nixon was out after Watergate. You don’t have to bribe our doctors or our cops during traffic stops. While we’re having issues with LGBTQ, we were a leader in treating people with respect for a few decades. That’s our norm. This is Idiocracy.

The CIA planted crack in black neighborhoods, the fbi killed all the civil rights leaders, our government injected black men with syphillis to see what happens,the end of Jim Crow just morphed into mass incarceration for black Americans, we committed a genocide on Native Americans, we have pedophiles running our government, we’ve destabilized hundreds of governments to plunder assets ……I could go on and on we’ve always been a fascist nation. For a moment I thought we might be improving but nope all hope is lost

There have always been issues. That is a crazy way to diminish the reality that this nation only exists because of a holocaust and only became an economic powerhouse because of slavery. America has never been worth a god damn thing. Some Americans are fine people, but the system, the nation? Designed to be diseased. Snap out of your American exceptionalism fever-dream and step into the real world, please.

America was a beacon for the world Yeah. For a brief moment in the 19th century maybe. While we’re having issues with LGBTQ, we were a leader in treating people with respect for a few decades. That’s our norm. The USA has been the only rich country with unsolved racism for decades. Is that treating people with respect?
