Feeling’s fucking mutual.
A large portions of democrats too. I don’t think Americans realize how their culture of rugged individualism has affected them as a people.
I don’t think you can call it a culture but propaganda to justify their personal greed and neoliberal policies. Basically sociopathy as an ideology for the elite, dressed up as “whatever” for the masses.
It’s really what American “culture” seems like to an outsider.
True, the american dream, liberty, land of opportunity, make your own way, that’s why people come. But it’s a lie right? So can a lie be a culture? Or is it a mass delusion? Maybe, colonial settlers also went to the US despite knowing how dangerous it is to die on a wagon train (I mean dysentery, not indians haha). So taking a huge risk of catastrophic failure could bee seen as a culture.
Take one pinch of puritanism, a pinch of rugged individualism and sprinkle on some American exceptionalism and you have a dangerous combination.
And two heaping dollops of lazy and stupid.
I recently learned about the North Korean concept of “juche” and realized, “holy shit, that’s what Republicans believe.”
Da feelin’s mutual bruv!
I don’t get why people idolise politicians. Most politicians in power will kill you without a second thought if it meant they could smoke an extra cigar
Finally an issue I can agree with them on
but im the radical for wanting them to have good quality healthcare
If I want good healthcare, I’ll go earn it! And I’m not earning it, so I must not deserve it!
Duh.
No, no, no….not until they’ve taken all your family’s money….then you can die.
I wish they would understand that you can make a lot more money with living people than dead ones, since they is their primary concern.
Which is why I’ve always pushed back on the idea that Republicans care about profits over people. They care about enforcing the hierarchy first and foremost. They’ll sacrifice profits as long as it allows them to rub more shit into the face of the common man.
Them first
Great article. Worth the read.
That’s expected. I wish the same for them.
Best way, pay in for 40-60 years and die before you can take out and then tax what ever manages to get out.
Yes.
