Is America exceptional?

[OddBeMe]

Or just another country to love?

America is exceptional

It’s a country, calm down

Other

It is exceptional in its diversity. Even if we only have it grudgingly, we're still probably the least homogenous country on the planet. Sadly, like a teenager being told by his grandmother that he's handsome, a lot of people cringe or get mad when you point that out, instead of thinking of it as something to be proud of. Personally I think most of them were hoodwinked into it. Like, who is the most "use guns to intimidate the government into leaving us alone" sort in the US? Right wingers. And who does the government fail the most at leaving alone? Black teenagers. It's like a match made in heaven for open carry advocates to group up and flex at cops any time they pull over a black kid. Let them know they are being watched and if they get caught "fearing for their life" they better make sure they know which direction the fear should come from. Could be nearly regarded as actual heroes. But they'd rather shoot the black kid themselves, one gets the impression. I think that's why right wing misinformation is so adamant about weaving racism into their narrative - to prevent exactly that from happening.

Course were exceptional with the land of opportunity, even though under a democrat, the opportunity is not great. Look at one of the Republican presidential nominees Vivek Ramaswamy. He is a second generation Indian American. (like from India.) he grew up, poor and successfully went to business and make those businesses and in to billion company’s and he’s 37 years old. Most countries, even European countries don’t have that type of opportunity that we have most of them are unintentional class systems they have gotten freer since the American revolution but that is an influence of the United States. If you work hard, don’t have kids before you’re married get a job and get a nonwoke education. You’re likely to go far in life if you get a woke education then you were likely to be forced to be on the governmental time because you’re so stupid. You can’t even put a burger for a living. This is why the Vivek has called for the abolishment of the Department of education. American schools are unfixable and it would be better to be homeschooled then go to a public school at this point.

[OddBeMe]

How many Vivek’s are we turning away at the Southern border?

[Opinion Owner]

Right now quite a bit. Even under Obama we didn’t see India nationals fly into Mexico Or Columbia or Venezuela to illegally enter the United States. Legal immigration is a good thing. Illegal immigration is a bad thing.

[OddBeMe]

You don’t think Mexicans could be Viveks? That’s racist af. Carlos Slimm is shady but loaded.

[Opinion Owner]

None because Viveks parent’s immigrant legally.

Yes we do have many nationalities trying to enter the country through our southern boarder. It’s all part of a global humans trafficking networks to get people into the union states and then have them claim themselves as refugees when 98% don’t qualify for in the terms we use as refugee status. Most are coming over for as economic refugees. But if the United States took everyone who was an economic refugee we would be taking in the entire world. We just can’t afford it.

I’ll tell you what get rid of welfare and social security make it so there no social welfare programs and we can have as many people we want coming in as we want. If we have social welfare programs back in 1870 we would’ve been just as Hokage on the border in 1870 as we are now.

It's a good country. But very overhyped by Americans

[Sargentcaptain]

Name me one other country that has, at the very least, the first 2 amendments. Hell, show me places that just have higher median income that aren't micronations surviving off of American millionaires or some Baltic shitholes where the governments steals half their income.

[OddBeMe]

let’s of other countries protect speech. Not to our extent. And again lots of countries allow guns, just not to a fraction of our extent. Thus why the US has 30,000 gun deaths Vs all of Europe’s 1000 per year.

[Sargentcaptain]

> let’s of other countries protect speech.
> Not to our extent.

... so they don't protect speech is what you're saying. Same with 2A too.

[NaultD]

So long as we see ourselves as an ever lasting experiment. So long as we don't believe we reach the end of history.

[OddBeMe]

Can’t be an experiment forever.

[NaultD]

That is the whole point of our constitution and self government by the people for the people. So long as we never rest on our laurels we will always reach for a better tomorrow a better future better freedoms.

This experiment of American freedom will never reach the end of history because it will carve a better future. Now and forever.

I'm not even that patriotic but i still recognize the writing on the walls of the intention. It's a similar feeling i get from this.

there's nothing great about it anymore that's for sure

[OddBeMe]

If only Trump had four more years huh?

[Sevenpointfive]

he actually got 4 stolen, so they owe him 8 for ruining his name and possibly an extra term I don't know? what do you think?

[OddBeMe]

Mmm…I guess now a jury will decide.

[gorydetails]

It was till you lefty fucks tried to turn it into a commie state.

[OddBeMe]

Yeah…the civil rights laws really fcked the US up for you guys…

[gorydetails]

You mean the ones the democrats voted against?

[OddBeMe]

I mean the ones the liberals voted for and conservatives hated.

[gorydetails]

So the republicans?

[OddBeMe]

Don’t know or care for party names. Liberals are liberal. Conservatives fck the world up. Period.

[gorydetails]

You don’t care because you know the truth. And I hate to break it to you, you’re not liberal. You’re a leftist.

[OddBeMe]

Same thing. Hate to break it to you, political party names dont matter for shit.

[gorydetails]

Absolutely not the same thing. liberals believe in freedom and a small government. You’re some kind of half-retard commie hybrid.

[OddBeMe]

Ouch. But wrong, liberal and conservative are positions. Democrats and republicans are party names that dither back and forth.

It’s liberals who make life better dipshit.

[gorydetails]

And you’re not a liberal. So shut the fuck up.

[OddBeMe]

Im not huh? Are you drunk?

[gorydetails]

No you aren’t liberal. You want the government to confiscate guns from legal gun owners.

[OddBeMe]

When did I say that?

[gorydetails]

Every time you whine like a little bitch about guns

[OddBeMe]

Mkay. I thought liberals hated guns tho?

[OddBeMe]

So you are the dumbass that said liberals and lefties aren’t the same. Did you get dumber with the name change JD?

[gorydetails]

You aren’t a liberal. I explained that and showed examples. You can remain ignorant at your peril. You’re a commie wannabe.

[OddBeMe]

Liberal, leftie, it’s all labels. Like you and virgin.

[gorydetails]

Your wife knows I’m not a virgin.

[OddBeMe]

Yeah she said you were anally raped. Sorry about that. Hope they find that chihuahua

[gorydetails]

For the last time, just because your wife comes when I call doesn’t mean she’s a dog.

[OddBeMe]

We turn off our phones when fcking

[gorydetails]

Cool story

[msc545]

Exceptionally good at breaking the law, killing innocent people, stealing resources, and being the bully of the planet.

[Anonymous]

Not any more. Biden is helping with that.

[OddBeMe]

What happened in the last year to change that?

[OddBeMe]

I love shit posters who make a claim they can’t support and duck out.

[LordOfThePines]

No, unless you mean exceptionally bad.
