    What about the war crimes and the thousands of Iranians the U.S. is murdering? What about the more than a hundred schoolchildren who were torn to pieces by bombs during a direct U.S. attack on a school? Of course, those aren’t worth mentioning to this guy - only the U.S. “service members” and gas prices matter.

    All too typical. This country makes me sick…

        It is, but unfortunately a vast majority of Americans don’t seem to care unless it affects them directly (at the pump).

        And 1/3 will believe any lie told to them.

        Honestly having a hard time coping rn

        It’s all Biden’s fault. He did it too, you know, why don’t you complain about that?

        Edit: I guess I should have included /S. I thought it was so ridiculous that anybody would know it was sarcastic, but after all this time, I should know better.

            I mean, he was pretty bad, but none of this is his fault. Just in case you aren’t kidding

              Honestly, no idea. Our news didn’t keep track of minute by minute what he was up to like it seems to with the Orange Murder Monkey you guys keep electing. He might have done something crazy for all I know, and just not tweeted about it at 4 am in a dementia fueled rant.

      I agree with you on the first topic.

      But with the second topic, how does this country make you sick? We live in a time of plenty not money wise but in technology, and our rights. We have the right to speak, the right to bear arms, the right of religion, the right to far trial. We still have all these gifts to thank God for.

        This country is ruled by a serious criminal and pedophile who not only shamelessly embezzles billions in public funds and imprisons thousands of people in concentration camps, but also plunges the world into terror and war.

        This monstrous regime commits so many repulsive crimes that it is impossible to list them all.

        One of the tools the US employs in this is precisely the technology you mention: One example is Palantir, a diabolical corporation whose founder is an open fascist, with the kind support of both the US government and the butchers in Israel. The groundless, comprehensive mass surveillance offered by these monsters is, in turn, being rolled out to other countries by U.S. lobbyists with government support, in order to curtail the very civil liberties you speak of.

        God has nothing to do with this; rather it is the lack of consistency, for US citizens remain largely passive in the face of all the crimes of their regime. Now and then, as on May 1, there are symbolic protests that, due to their one-off nature, naturally remain ineffective. And so the criminals at the top of the U.S. oligarchy can simply continue to terrorize the world, since U.S. citizens -who are the only ones who could put a stop to it - don’t even rise up against their own exploitation.

        If the U.S. does indeed have the extensive rights you claim, how is it possible that the country is still run by organized crime? How is it possible that, despite all this, the citizens do not go on strike until the fascists are removed from power?

        That is what I despise: The U.S. is a country that demonstrates beyond a shadow of a doubt that even the most horrific crimes go unpunished for the billionaires who commit them. In doing so, the U.S. sets an example for all the monsters of this world - and not only that, because the U.S. regime also actively and intentionally undermines international law, since it stands in the way of their crimes.

        Why do you think the US has never recognized the International Criminal Court and has always actively obstructed its work?

            You know an American’s rights to speak, to freedom of religion and a fair trial are being challenged and denied right now by the current administration, correct?

              “current administration” womp womp

              (rights to speak and fair trial were all out of the window long before Trump ever took office)

              (freedom of religion? Fine… anyway, the only ethical thing to do is to tax them, which isn’t happening any time soon)

        We live in a time of plenty, we have enough food to ensure no one goes hungry. We have medicine to cure things like turburculousis that has been killing humans as far back as we know. We choose not to share this plenty fairly, but you have the right to bear arms so I guess that makes everything ok?

        Who’s we? And i dont want the right to religion, i want the right to NOT have religion!

        Right to bear arms? How about the right to shoot them? Is that really freedom, the freedom to hide a gun in your pants and if you ever actually use it govt agents kill you?

        Right to speak? But reporters are getting sued by the government for calling out our alcoholic fbi chief for being an alcoholic.

        And which god are you thanking?
