Look, ma! We’re on TV!
You ever heard The Clash’s “I’m so Bored with the U.S.A.”?
That’s how most of us even here in the US feel
The U.S. is always on TV and it’s depressing af. I have a co-worker here in Australia parroting American neonazi talking points.
You need to be quarantined.

Its even worse living next door to them.
You need to be quarantined.
They really do. For the good of the world.
Can I get out first? I don’t care to see if they decide to imprison me for being trans or put me on a work farm for taking psychiatric medication.
LPTs for anyone considering:

- look for immigration short lists per country, e.g. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/skilled-worker-visa-immigration-salary-list/skilled-worker-visa-immigration-salary-list - note there’s also unskilled work included in these, notably carers on the seperate (see link) healthcare list

So fucked up, hey? Move now. I can recommend Australia if Canada doesn’t work.
Gotta take the power back.Make the billionaires scared to show their faces
“Land of the free”, they said. Freedom of speech, and all that.
Land of the free, whoever told you that is your enemy
The use never was free, other countries consistently had actual freedoms that the US never had
The one major freedom that the US just only had the freedom to have guns, no matter how stupid it was. You’re a 5 year old? Here, shoot a gun!
Land of the free, whoever told you that is your enemy
They tell themselves that lie every morning.
I blame Francis Scott Key.
Free to pay.
Money is speech, after all.
just now?
Right? Remember Habeas corpus? Nobody does because Dubya signed it away to do some shit.
I’m imagining they don’t do a full audit too often
Is there an EarthNoodle and a FireNoodle? Do they combine to form PastaTron?
No, I am not an elemental noodle.
Just watched a part of Clinton’s speech in post-war Slovenia (after separated from Yugoslavia) where he says that democracy and freedom must prevail around the world. Oh Billy…
He passed NAFTA which was the stake in the heart of the US union movement guaranteeing corporate fascism would ascend unchallenged. Citizens United only a few years later and it was over.
Reagan signed the original NAFTA agreement in 1988 (between Canada and America), then Bush worked on it a bit, then Clinton ratified the final agreement between America, Mexico and Canada 1994.
Two decades of mostly uninterrupted neoliberal rule.
Cheaper Mexican labor was the end of the US middle class for most and broader social stability. As Canada is more expensive than Mexico, the impact of the original was nothing compared to the latter.
Your jerbs!
Civicus, an international non-profit, puts country alongside Democratic Republic of Congo, Italy, Pakistan and Serbia
Italy?
little something called Belusconi also ring a bell?
Uhhhhhhh Meloni is also a medium-far right semi-crazy. She’s not sig heiling but she’s in the same league as AfD.
Melōni and Her crew attended the same far right neo fascist meetings as Polish neo fascists so I was afraid about her but since she took office even Donald Tusk said that she is a reliable partner so I get the impression that at least in Brussels couloirs she baheves reasonably. How does she look from within Italy? Did she take a turn to reason or is it just a theatre for outsiders?
Ever heard of the Mafia? Ever looked into the Meloni family?
The only Meloni family I know
Why did it take so long
So, what paths are still available for us to preserve and restore those civic freedoms?
Not much that won’t land us in prison or dead
Well, that’s concerning. Wonder what made them take notice?
So do country that don’t have programs like US aid for other countries or who have tariffs on imports all have a low freedom ranking?
It seems rather absurd.
Perhaps it’s more about the rollback of rights for anyone who isn’t a straight white man.
See that makes a lot of sense on something like abortion, it really muddys the water and makes it seem more like a fake hit piece when you include things like US aid.
No no, it’s all countries that have a capital that starts with ‘W’, that’s why the US made it on the list.
It just took them long to notice, it’s all.
The left would rather see Trump fail than to have America succeed.
The left are out destroying Tesla’s and their dealerships and bombing Trump hotels, but use Jan 6th as a scapegoat when challenged.
If the Left can’t have it their way, they would rather have everyone fail. A bunch of spoiled brats throwing a tantrum when they can’t have drag queen story hour and transwomen in women’s restrooms.
Trump has failed so many times I can’t count them all. I have yet to see America succeed at anything under his “leadership”
