If you are anti America then why are you still here?

It's a patriotic citizen's right and duty to criticize what's wrong with their country so as to improve it by shining a light on injustice and demand reform. It's rarely people in power who improve the lives of average people. Citizens, activists and independent journalists do that by raising awareness. "The People" are supposed to dictate to the government, not the other way around. "... government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

This is a great country because of its founding documents - the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights. This country has never been perfect, but those documents have given people the tools to demand justice - civil rights, women's rights, worker's rights, freedom of speech, the right to assemble, and on and on.

The U. S. has been a military aggressor forever, beginning with Native Americans, then the Spanish Empire, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South American countries. Then it went bat shit imperialist after WWII and has committed unspeakable atrocities all around the world. I think it's fair to criticize that.

The government adopted neoliberalism and began to turn against its own people in the 1980s but openly embarked on a tyrannical agenda in after 9/11/2001. In 2020, it began the final push to consolidate tyrannical power.

So citizens have a lot to work on. They are not supposed to sit back and comply.

"The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything." Einstein

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." Edmund Burke

“One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.” Martin Luther King Jr.

“A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true.” Martin Luther King Jr.

“Where you see wrong or inequality or injustice, speak out, because this is your country. This is your democracy. Make it. Protect it. Pass it on.” Thurgood Marshall

“Silence becomes cowardice when occasion demands speaking out the whole truth and acting accordingly.” Mahatma Gandhi

[007kingifrit]

grow up hippie. being a military aggressor is a good thing.

land can't be stolen from nations; only won or lost

[Lliam]

@007kingifrit. Nice to know that you believe in robbery and murder.

[007kingifrit]

robbery and murder are crimes people can commit, not nations

nations are amoral constructs. they cannot do right or wrong except by their own people

but nations are also the smallest unit of human life capable of protecting the rights of the individual

Cold war era Amarican interventionism. People would love to stay in there home lands but American intrest keeps a finger in your plate.

So let's take the gang "MS13" for an example. El Salvador has been very much interfered by the United States of America for their bananas and oil. (this is the whole plot point for Nintendo Donkey Kong country, being king k rule as American imperialism.) The only shelter from American imperialism is inside America. So people creat anti government gangs, then get deported back to el Salvador and resume criminal activity. All of American interventionism have come back to roost.

[sage2021]

I don't get that either. If they hate America 🇺🇸 and Americans why do they stay here. I say go back where you came if you don't like it here. Just Go!!!

[JohnK123]

Agreed

[kyleelyn199723]

Because most Americans in this generation find things to pick apart and complain about, instead of living life

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Ship them to the Congo where they can find something to legitimately moan and complain about.

[kyleelyn199723]

@Hispanic-Cool-Guy it’s not even the colored people that argue about this stuff either , it’s the democratic white people

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yeah, I know. Let them experience a real hell hole of poverty, misery, uncontrollable crime, food shortages, no running water and plumbing and they will be begging to come back to America in a hurry.

[Anonymous]

Because America is so poorly run that we're banned from entering most other countries due to covid, effectively stranding us here against our will. On top of that, capitalist greed has ensured we live in destitution so we can't afford the cost of moving. Finally, our education system is so piss-poor that even though most countries teach a second language as part of the core curriculum, the vast majority of Americans can only speak a single language, further adding to the difficulty of moving elsewhere.

I ask this every time I see a 1A or 2A hater... and there are just too many to count. If you want safety over freedom... Canada is just North and you are free to go over and live in the UK as well. Mexico likely won't take you.

[RolandCuthbert]

Define "anti-American"?

[007kingifrit]

anyone who believes in "systemic racism"
or wishes to change the united states fundamentally

[RolandCuthbert]

@007kingifrit I don't understand racists. How can you deny that racism exists, when you believe in race and in the silliness that your group could be superior to another?

[007kingifrit]

ah but you moved the goalpost huh

[RolandCuthbert]

@007kingifrit Nah, dude. Y'all have to explain that one.

You don't believe in systemic racism. . . but you believe that groups should be "objectively" classified and ranked. That's why I never call your brand of silliness just racism. I call it fruitcake racism.

Back in the day there were just regular ole' racists.

[007kingifrit]

you're being judged on your values. not your race

[RolandCuthbert]

@007kingifrit The racist mind has to be taken apart and studied man.

You judge "races". If you believe in race. . . and judge people based on race, you are not judging anything they did on an individual basis.

You might be confused about that.

But any two year old knows the difference.

[007kingifrit]

shadow boxing fallacy

[RolandCuthbert]

@007kingifrit Nothing you have posted disproves fact.

[007kingifrit]

shadow boxing fallacy, still

[RolandCuthbert]

@007kingifrit You guys always complain about being misunderstood. When the only person confused is you.

[NamerOfStars]

Funny- I don't see you speaking Navajo and practicing rain dances. Or joining rallies to support slavery.

"Anti-America" would be inherently OPPOSING the changes that newcomers bring. I suggest you actually read the poem on that statue's pedestal; it doesn't say "keep out unless you're one of us". If New York is too far away, just take a look at a dollar bill; the motto ain't "E unum unum".

[Anonymous]

they're here for the free shit and the fact that they can have those opinions about their country without actually being locked up or shot in their houses by government troops like they would if they actually lived in the type of coutries they champion. "I'm a brain dead liberal sheep and the USA should be like Venezuela, but I don't wanna actually live in Venezuela because I don't want the government killing me for speaking bad about them, but I'm too damn dumb to realize if we turn the USA into Venezuela or Cuba, that's exactly what will happen". :o

[Anonymous]

Right? There are places that actually do what you wish the US would gain. Why should I be involved in your utopia when you can move somewhere where it already exists?

Maybe it's because they know their ideology is full of shit but want other people to witness it because they are assholes.

[Robber_Baron]

Well, I know for a fact that America is a shithole, yet here I am...

I absolutely hate this country, regardless I'm still here just because I can't take my parents, my girlfriend and friends with me to Asia. If people don't like it, they can grin and bear it.

[grega239]

I ask myself the same question about the people who aren't native to my land.

If they're so proud of their culture and heritage , why dont they go back to it.

[Baredog69]

I agree 100 if you don't like it stop letting it pay your bills and GTFO

That is an excellent question I have offered publicly to help them pack. At this point I would drive them to the airport

[Anonymous]

A bunch of corporations, are anti-Americans. They about the money. They'll sell out anybody for money. Look at John cena and china, elon musk and china.

America is anti America. We still do business and outsource majority of our stuff to China. Knowing they gonna get stronger economically.


And complaining about laws is American.

People able to steal 950 dollars of stuff and still be misdemeanor. That law should be changed

[bgreek]

The US has FEMA camps around the US
I say round up the people that don't want to leave
And toss in the FEMA camps and brain wash them into being Republicans

[OddBeMe]

What does anti-America mean? Does it include wanting to change America to help as many Americans as possible? Which is the progressive aim? Because if it that’s anti America…fck America. I care about people.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

You care about people? Go tell that bull to a child who will believe you.

[t-8900]

You mean extremely regressive. While we continue to do dumb shit to weaken ourselves and let mental illness flourish our enemies sharpen bayonets and polish rifles. We focus on the dumbest sh*t kike nutjobs shi chop their d*cks off and declare themselves women or feelings of adult babies with daddy issues over actual important sh"t like whats going on around the he world and the growing tensions with Russia and China. Somehow Lactatia and Mr. Ma'am, and Trigglypuff buffoon types and chicks looking like Ronald McDonald are more important. Yes we'll talk all day about going after firearms because they kill shouting "think about the kids". But we'll say hurrah to abortion and leave kids behind because covid. Oh and we ignore the rates of teens offing themselves as a result too. Letting illegals flood our country to compete He's n the job market and bring their problems, drugs, drunks, rapists, and gangbangers here. Yes "progress", "change", to help Americans. All the while taxing them to sh*t against their own best interests and trying to strip then of their privacy, freedom, and means to defend themselves and dare I say put food on the table. "Progress"

[OddBeMe]

@t-8900 you’re literally 180 degrees wrong. Everything you listed are problems in your mind. Progressive problems are stuff like poverty, which is rusting America out from the inside.

[t-8900]

poverty has been a problem since time and memoriam and the welfare state has only made people MORE dependent. lots of kids running around without knowing their daddy and sometimes their mommy because of the system we have in place for poverty. Besides I've listened to progressives like Jimmy Dore speak. Bunch of nutters if you ask me!

[OddBeMe]

@t-8900 I think that’s the difference. We could give two shits for YouTube assholes. You right wingers idolize your leaders…

[t-8900]

@OddBeMe that's adorable but I'm not a right winger. Both sides have gone bananas and they're dragging you down with them.

[OddBeMe]

@t-8900 everyone who says that votes for only one party. And one party only.

[t-8900]

I've only ever voted in 2 elections

[t-8900]

For my county I voted Libertarian, and state I didn't vote because both sides sucked ass. Then I vote for Trump twice, I freely admit that. If you wanted my vote y'all should have chosen Tulsi, not Biden and Hillary.

[OddBeMe]

@t-8900 great! So you like commenting about politics, just not joining in.

[t-8900]

I said I voted twice. What are you talking about?

[Baredog69]

Progressives want to change this country to socialism and eventually communism which doesn't help everyone at all. If it's in one supreme leader in a few at the top that's where all the money goes don't be fooled this s*** has not worked anywhere else in the world it will not work here.

[OddBeMe]

@Baredog69 what do you think trump tax cuts did? Send money to the top.

[Baredog69]

Snapshot of Trump tax cuts;
Tax rate defore/after Trump's tax cuts:(TTCs)

2017. pre cuts post cut 0-$10,275 10%. 10%
$10,576-41775 15% 12%
$41,776-$89.075 25%. 22%
$89,076-$170,050 28%. 25%
$170,051-$215,590 33% 32%
$215,591-539,990 33%/35 35%
more than $539,990 39.6%37%
** increased the child tax credit from $1,000 up to $2,000. Even parents who
don't earn enough to pay taxes can claim a refund of the credit up to $1,400

*** Introduced a $500 credit for other dependents, which helps families with
dependent children no longer meet the criteria of child dependents because
they've aged out, as well as families caring for elderly parents.

*** The Obamacare Tax, Trumps cuts repealed the Obamacare tax penalty that was charged to those who couldn't afford health insurance.

*** The plan would boost gross domestic product by 1.7% a year, create 339,000 jobs,
and add 1.5% to wages

*** The Tax Foundation made a slightly different estimate. The tax cuts themselves
would cost $1.47 trillion but savings would offset that figure by $1 trillion

*** The U. S. Treasury reported that the bill would bring in
around $1.8 trillion in new revenue and projected economic growth of 2.9% a year, on average

What benefits you received under Trump consider bidens getting rid of tham the first of many to come hidden Biden tax increases for EVERYONE, not just those making more than
$400k a year. biden's 6.8% inflation coupled with what he stripped us of eliminating
trumps cuts is being felt sharply already.

[t-8900]

The extra $1.50 I pay in gas per gallon is a middle finger in my face from every Dem that voted for that trash. Also their asinine gun laws so my family and friends can either go to jail or get raped and killed because they followed their dumb ass laws.

[OddBeMe]

@Baredog69 yeah…no it gave the rich money to buyback their stock
americansfortaxfairness.org/.../

[Baredog69]

Brother if you think for one second a corporation is going to pay one nickel more income tax than they are right now you're delusional. Let's take utility companies for instance who have a special clause they can pass 100% of all their taxes on to their consumers. Other corporations offset the tax increases with lower wages lower benefits etc. Almost every tax bracket benefited from the Trump tax cuts. And also if you believe that Joe biden's plan to tax and spend will not affect anyone making under $400,000 that is an absolute farce in dream. Simply by getting rid of Trump's tax cuts that alone is a tax increase on almost every tax bracket from the top all the way down to the bottom except for the very lowest income families. Inflation is a form of tax simply because it is putting an undue and deserved higher cost of living on everyone equaling tax. Higher energy costs considered a tax. Hell you really don't need to raise an actual tax if you're going to miss handle everything else increase the price of everything except wages. Don't be fooled by some left-wing blog. Look elsewhere do not use Google for your search engine first of all that is the biggest mistake.

[OddBeMe]

@Baredog69 not my point even remotely. See honey, stock buybacks are where corps owners basically give money back to themselves. So instead of your “trickle down theory” of tax cuts, it’s hoarding.

[Baredog69]

I'm very aware of buybacks a very intelligent business move to protect themselves from an incompetent president driving up inflation, printing money chasing products he's bottle necked causing that VERY inflation he created with over the top mostly unproven or disproven "science". laid out by the same guy responsible for funding the tech. That created the pandemic itself. Not about science as much as grossly padding the pockets of leftist elites and big pharma. Devalue the dollar aim for a negative interest rate lowering the value of the government debt making room to borrow more money knowing Joe and his past no doubt borrow from China. Print more money to further devalue our dollar. If you take a real look at Reaganomics it's now credited in history for one of the top three economic recoveries in History.

[OddBeMe]

@Baredog69 reaganomics was one of the most catastrophic economic policies to hit America. It created the massive wealth gap we have today.

[Baredog69]

1. Reaganomics, brought about a considerable decrease in unemployment and inflation; and initiated one of the largest peacetime economic booms in US history
2. Unemployment when Reagan took office 6.9% when he left office he left office
5.4%. inflation when he took office 13.5% when he left office 4.1%
3. Won the largest electoral college vote in US history
4. He never used the phrase "trickle down economics" it was coined by Will Rogers adopted by democrats during the Regan years and been beating that dead horse since.

No president is perfect nor any policy perfect. Myself, I favor a flat tax or nationwide sales tax which would require lower tax rates around 19% to equal the revenue taken in by The big bad wolf Government. no one is exempt, no loop holes business, nonprofits, churches everyone pays a relative low Federal sales tax. No need for tax write-offs, no estate taxes no capital gains tax no death tax etc. It's obviously not that simple but I think much better than what we have now. No use hardly at all for the IRS with these systems.
Jus' my opinion More government programs and oversight is without a doubt not the answer. I hope we can find some middle ground. I appreciate a civil discussion about the difference ideas. Thank you.

[OddBeMe]

@Baredog69 when did the deficit start, sir?

[Baredog69]

Deficit started under Ronald Reagan who was trying to turn around an economy and also fight a cold war. 1.4 or 2 trillion dollars if I remember correctly

[OddBeMe]

@Baredog69 funny how we phrase things for our political heroes….

[Baredog69]

I'm not phrasing, stating facts

[OddBeMe]

@Baredog69 he cut tax rates for the rich and gutted unions. Unsurprisingly having no taxes gave us a deficit.

[Baredog69]

If tax cuts do not work, tax and spend has been proven not to work my entire 51 years. Where is the middle ground in this paradox? I don't think there is an idiot in the United States that believes someone standing up there telling them they're going to spend 3.5 trillion dollars and is not going to cost you a nickel. That is a fool deceiving fools. So honest question where do we find an even level playing Field not for rich not just for the poor not just for the middle class but for everyone. In my opinion the current system tries to penalize you for being successful. I had a small business convenience store restaurant and 19 apartments largest year I had grossed 1.6 million dollars and by the time I got finished with taxes I could barely pay payroll and restock the shelves much less take enough for myself to live. There's no incentive to make more because the higher tax bracket the more taxes they take which leaves you less and less. The tax the rich theory needs to be the rich it doesn't need to be small business owners it needs to be people that are multi-millionaires they can afford it. mom and pop in a $2 million dollar grossing business taking home $40,000 a year at the end it's not who needs to be taxed "as the rich"
