    Nah. Just sorta pointing out that all politicians are really sucky and it’s not just republicans. That, in fact, it’s rich politicians who reside on both sides of the political aisle that suck and don’t look out for us?

    I hope people are finally seeing the light. No one is looking out for us. No. One.

          no one has it completely together; but we all atleast agree that republicans don’t have a monopoly on being shitty human beings.

            Maybe you all on that instance agree that repubs don’t have a monopoly on being shitty human beings. That’s certainly not the gist of most of Lemmy. lol

            But hey, I have nothing against you all.

              that’s the gist of almost the entire western world and look at the instability & fascism that it’s causing.

              anything that takes you out of that political groupthink is a good thing imo since no one is immune to propaganda and the more you hear it, the more you start to believe it.

                I agree with the other person. If we’re so bad, then people should stop trying so hard to come here. Obviously we can’t be so terrible if so many to be here.

                So if we are so bad, be done with us. If the US suck soooo bad, then people should stop working so hard to come here. Let us be. Wonder why that isn’t happening. We are just one lil country.

                The rest of the entire world could just team up and choose to ignore us. How come that hasn’t happened yet?! Hmmmm…

                Why are so many people from other countries trying to get here. Gosh, according to Lemmy, every place is better than the US. So why isn’t everyone going to other places.

                Let the US just stand alone and wither and die. How come no one is doing that? Think about it.

                  you’re exhibiting the default position of americans that have completely (and hopefully unwittingly) swallowed all of the propaganda and i know this because i use to believe it too.

                  it’s taking me a lifetime of effort to learn from history books, lectures, and other forms of intellectual masturbation that people are forced to come here because the united states enshitifies their countries by fostering war, political violence, and corruption when the people in those countries try to install governments that want to use its natural resources to help it’s own people instead of giving it away to american capitalists. this has been happening since european colonization has been a thing, so it’s not unique to the united states.

                  i don’t expect you accept any of this because i didn’t at first; but i suspect that you’re atleast aware that we invade other countries for their oil. this is also true of other natural resources like minerals, foliage, strategic position, etc. we take what the american capitalists want to make a profit from and do it by any means necessary to get it, including fucking over other countries to badly that their people are forced to leave and it’s a open secret that we do it since it’s literally printed in black in white in history books as well as by our own government.

                    But here’s the thing. They can pick plenty of other countries that everyone thinks are way more awesome than us. So again, if we are so bad, why are they coming here? If we are so bad and are just one tiny country, then why haven’t all the other bigger “better” countries teamed up to take in the disenfranchised, and let us wither and die?

                    Why hasn’t anyone stepped up to take in everyone? We are so bad, and other countries are so good, they could just step up and take them. The other countries can refuse do do bis with us. I mean, we are just one country. The rest of the ENTIRE PLANET outnumber us.

                    So why aren’t they doing something about? Since we’re so bad and evil and all.
