America Is Cruel (Page 2)

[Floppy2112]

Feel free to grab a ticket to one of these paradises you admire so much and leave the U. S. to the people who actually love this place.

[hellacray]

Here's my rebuttal.

America is not cruel.

You are wrong sir.

Have a nice day. 😀

[zagor]

Yet Americans are much more open to talking to strangers than in Europe or Asia. People here are more likely to stop and ask if you need help. Maybe they don't expect the government to do everything for them.

[DianaWest]

America will always be the best and most powerful nation in the world.

[BlacklightShade]

Until it isn't.

[DianaWest]

@BlacklightShade if you don't like the country you live in, you could always go somewhere else. The US saved our asses during all the major world wars, including the Cold War.

[BlacklightShade]

The greatest empires on Earth never lasted more than 200 years. We are overdue for a fall. Given the past few years I can see how easily we are heading for it.

[DianaWest]

@BlacklightShade Yet Britain is still doing just fine, after several centuries.

[BlacklightShade]

The British monarchy changed to a parliamentary. Same name, different animal.

America was founded on a lie. Liberty and justice for all was a compensation for the reality of what America has alwaus been: a highly oppressive shithole. You can thank the world wars for america becoming so rich.

[Anonymous]

Did anyone seriously read this fully? Lol

[J9inva]

Nope

[tripptt9]

Maybe a third of it.

[Omario2049]

Oh hell nah. I read like maybe the first 2 paragraphs and my eyes glazed over. First off, the toxicity in the beginning was almost unbearable as I know America isn't perfect however it is far from the worst and even far from bad. She mentioned no safety net while we are currently going through a labor shortage because the same Government is paying people more to stay at home in the form of unemployment walfare than what most small businesses can pay. The entitlement and laziness is astonishing. If u don't like America why not leave? Everywhere I've ever been, if I don't like their rules or the already established culture there then I leave.

@Omario2049 facts

[Floppy2112]

I read enough to know that this is just a collection of critical theory, wokism and postmodernist tropes that is being fed to our young people under the guise of education. It's sad our young people are not being taught to think critically and are not allowed to question the gospel of woke.

[Celtero]

Unfortunately, just to make sure the rest of it was as full as shit as the beginning.

You didn't miss anything. "America bad" sums it up. Not data driven or anything, just conjecture.

[karaspara]

Forgot there origins

[ForgottenFuRyan]

According to the current global slavery index map that I just left, every race has more slaves today than white people ever did. You traitors are why marriage, cohabitation, sex and childbirth rates are at all time lows.

[KrakenAttackin]

@ForgottenFuRyan Very true.

[karaspara]

@ForgottenFuRyan Yep but nobody moans about Dubai and Qatar not white enough to fit the rhetoric I guess

[Smegskull]

Nature is cruel. Cruelty drives evolution.

[RedFever]

We should strive to rise above nature, not wallow in it.

[Smegskull]

Then we will die as the rest of nature takes advantage of our break from participation.
All species in nature are in a perpetual arms race if you want to rise above nature and stop participating in the arms race you need to find non natural means of reproduction, sustenance and shelter.
Even if such an environment was created it would be small so competition and conflict over it's occupancy would ensue.

[RedFever]

We're all going to eventually die anyway, so we may as well live a decent life with principles than just let ourselves go into savagery!

[Smegskull]

Yes as individuals we will. As a species that may or may not be true.
We don't all have the same principles.
In the game of evolution for example I strive for effective participation for the principle of maximising the long term survivability of the species.
(I assume from your rise above comment) your position is something to do with rejecting natures imperfection for the principle of maximising happiness of those alive today?

[RedFever]

Maximising happiness? Oh, you mean treating others with decency and respect, and not being a douchebag asshole. Yes, I do.
As for the human race itself not dying out, well guess what! It will. Perhaps even sooner than we would like, because we, as a species, tend to treat each other like shit.

[Smegskull]

That isn't guaranteed at all. Our civilization sure but not the species. Statistically we have 20k years to avoid a planetary extinction event, 1bil years of usable earth, 2bil years of usable solar system, 4.5bil years to get out of the galaxy. Until we know for certain that there is a limit we will never cross that guarantees our extinction I will strive for us to survive the next threat.

[NightHawk99]

@Smegskull @RedFever We are nature's spawn. Why do you think we are now capable of ending our own species? The only reason we haven't gotten beyond earth yet is literally our own petty bullshit lol

[Amur8711]

Freedom trumps everything!

[MudRucker]

Whaaa?

[jimmy2]

Well American is Still the besr country to be in

[MudRucker]

For all those who gave this a thumbs down, I hope you don't live in the USA. If you do please leave.

[Abdulwahh]

All countries have a cruel side

[Anonymous]
