Americans will put up with anything. Fucking losers

It's ironic

They have to work so hard to survive, and yet, when it comes to thinking, they're incredibly lazy

I genuinely pity them, because I know that as a society, they're only in such a situation because they're beaten into submission and apathy

They're placated by unbelievable convenience, having everything an hour's delivery away, and numbed to the fact that that means someone is slaving (I use that term deliberately) for their laziness

The mental gymnastics to justify every part of that shitty, exploitative excuse for a society are endless

And when they see other cultures, where we are actually free, they point and laugh, because they are too ignorant to understand

I spend a lot of time in 'Murica, under duress

I hate the place, I see the cruelty and ignorance, and I would gladly offer asylum to those who deserve it, but even amongst the relatively civilised, that's a small number

They've been trained from a very young age to never question the system. Pledge of allegiance before classes. Anthem before every match. Flags everywhere. Hollywood teaching everyone America will save the world yet again. It's very hard and impossible for many to break that programming.

I still remember when I first came to the US and my class did the pledge of allegiance. I was so confused, it was like I'd unwittingly joined a cult.

Oh, I know it

Even those who move to civilised countries still struggle to break the chains sometimes

Freedom doesn't come with intelligence, morals or ethics, only consequences.

'Murica is one of the least free places I have ever experienced in the world

[-] minorkeys@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago

They are quite pathetic. All these decades of saber rattling and pleasuring themselves to the fantasy of American freedom and democracy only to be led passively by the collar into their prison cells.

as long as there things like tiktok, amazon, youtube,etc. yes. and many enough of a income to have creature comforts.

As long as i can have my 5 dollar burger for 20 dollars delivered home by a guy who makes no money, it's all good

I’d like to see them at least stop melting down at each other and at least unify to remove their problem. I saw a post in the politics sub about Sanders asking them all to just vote and they’re attacking each other across the entire post. This is probably the smallest of the places out there to discuss but if it’s any indication, the same shit will happen this election as well.

They’re resigned to two options and the sooner they accept it the better off they’ll be. The first one is coming up in a couple of months and as many as possible need to be on one page about it.
