I've had some amazing experiences there, but I'm talking about the US masses, not the intelligent and worldly individuals
The average yank is a fucking idiot
Bright people are always going to be bright. The value of an education system is to help the vast majority of people who are just average
The US "education" system fails everyone, but those who have natural gifts are able to get somewhere
Don't even get me started on the idea that unless something has a dollar figure attached, it is of no value
The superficial consumerism is bizarre and grotesque, particularly when there's so much wealth concentrated in one country, yet people die from treatable diseases and starve in the streets.
Those of us who live in the civilised world absolutely understand
The question is how far you Americans will allow things to go?
You're already fucked, but your opiates of shitty TV, pissy beer, fast food and the satisfaction that you seem to enjoy when you see people who are really suffering seem to placate you
You don't care about the vulnerable, the marginilanised, the suffering because you think you're somehow going to dodge it, until it happens to you
Americans gauge their happiness by the misery of others
The entirity of the US (certain individuals excepted)
If the stupid cunts only hurt themselves, it'd be less aggravating, but every day a decision is made that harms the rest of the world, and usually 'Murica too
During the first gulf war, yanks were surprised that they were being fired on with 'Murican weapons, because in a few years they'd already forgotten their history
Anything to distract the masses from the fact that the oligarchs are the reason their lives are shitty
