    As does having a livable planet for the rest of us, and being able to exist as anything other than a rich white straight-in-public guy in the US. How so much has ended up in the hands of an orange nazi dementia patient in a first world country is pretty astounding

      It also isn’t so surprising. America cultivates the mindset of “get rich/powerful or die trying”, and that greedy way of thinking is pretty easily poisoned by anyone who can offer you lots of money. America is for sale, and some of the highest bidders are our biggest enemies.

      But how did America and Americans ever allow it to get like this?

        Bread and circuses, homey. Keep us entertained and fed with high sugar foods and a chunk of the population doesn’t care. Then you inject massive brainwashing to that same chunk.

        Here we are.
