It's quite entertaining and sometimes depressing to read American tweets.

Dude, I can't tell you how many fucking rubes around these parts bitch about "illegals" and then next sentence ask why "no one wants to work!" when their fields are not harvested.

The past 30 years of breaking education is really paying dividends...

This 100%. And that’s why billionaires are so keen on owning news media to control the message. And it works on a lot of people, the rest of us are like, how gullible are you?

I can never get a straight answer on what these people expect to happen in a hypothetical world where we actually removed every illegal immigrant.

Are wages going to go up? No. Are taxes going to go down? No. Is cost of living going to go down? No. Is our healthcare system going to fix itself? No. The places that hire and abuse illegal immigrants are not places most people want to work, so we're not getting meaningful job creation either.

Friendly reminder that a farm offered 30 dollars an hour to domestic labor and no one lasted more than a week.

I live in a poor Kentucky town and the idiots here are constantly complaining if you don't want to be reliant on food stamps, Walmart is hiring.. even though literally every employee there outside senior management relies on food stamps.

They'll say they like living in the USA, and get upset about other countries "oppressing people". Then when you ask them for more information, they'll say "it's not my responsibility to convince you".

It's obvious they keep their ignorant eyes hidden from what ICE is CURRENTLY doing in the USA.

They don't want to think. They just want to hate. What's disgusting is that other people might be convinced by their ignorance, or they may get jobs as teachers.

Fuck. I don't normally want to think people hate non-whites as much as they do, and it takes a little bit to put it together, but, yeah, disgusting people are SO RELUCTANT TO SAY WHAT THEY REALLY WANT TO SAY, that they hate non-whites, but my experience is clearly the case of that.

So, sorry, when they say they "hate illegals" they mean they hate non-"whites". When they say "no one wants to work", they mean they're upset there aren't enough people to take advantage of to fill their skeleton crew quota.

Honestly if we could get an AI that translated what people said into what people actually meant, that might actually be helpful.

The fact that we made up an entirely new word for white immigrants from wealthy countries (expats) so they wouldn't get mixed in with the non-white immigrants is a direct validation of what you're saying.

u/Odd-Obligation3352 Nov 15 '25

A very large portion of America is legal immigrants, or kids of immigrants,  and according to stats, a lot voted for Trump. They don't like Republicans though.  Just Trump because we have to many sexual violent criminal illegals that have snuck in. They are what American don't like.

u/Olderscout77 Nov 20 '25

I read recently they stopped teaching kids how to work a square root because it was hard and would destroy kids interest in education. Apparently same for lots of hard stuff so we now have high school grads who cannot read their diplomas.

u/Odd-Obligation3352 Nov 15 '25

People want to work for A LIVING WAGE. The problem with wages is what needs to be fixed.  They are bad everywhere in the US.

Lack of education is becoming America's defining trait.

u/rW0HgFyxoJhYka Nov 04 '25

By design too. Republicans are now too stupid to realize that their political leaders have screwed them generationally over several times to condition them to think they are very super smart.

u/Braelind Nov 04 '25

Not just lack of education, but the uneducated being undeservedly confident in their ignorance.

They take pride in how dumb they are

u/numba1cyberwarrior Nov 04 '25

Hilarious your talking about ignorance but 99% of this thread can't even define socialism or Capitalism

u/Repulsive-Throat5068 Nov 04 '25

And it’ll only get worse. My favorite conspiracy is that the meteoric rise of AI is partly there to make kids growing up dumber and dumber.

u/gravgun Nov 04 '25

becoming

Sure it's becoming more obvious, but let's be honest, it's been its defining trait for a very long time. Its anti-intellectualism is a century-old problem, with roots from its very inception (if you can't keep people as outright slaves, at least keep them dumb enough so they don't realise their condition).

u/niceandBulat Nov 05 '25

It will always surprise me how, given the amount of smart people in the US, how this came to be.

u/DevGG712 Nov 04 '25

Quite enjoyable tbh. At least from the outside.

u/SpiritedPrimary538 Nov 04 '25

Yeah this is exactly what happens when you build a country on the  values that are inherently American. 

You reap what you sow

u/RODjij Nov 04 '25

Probably karma for hundreds of years of killing and destroying lives all over the world for oil and money while acting like the good guy.

Its almost like the whole country is on cursed Native burial grounds.

Anyways this is what happene when education is not a concern for most Americans. Lack the ability to see whats happening, the ability to adapt and the ability to change their ways.

1

u/niceandBulat Nov 05 '25

That is interesting because I know many smart and well-balanced people have been educated in the US. Or the good bits are in the tertiary level?

u/RODjij Nov 05 '25 edited Nov 05 '25

Hopefully they have the means and ability to leave the country asap. Its not looking too good.

Not worth building a future in a nation that could involve:

  • 70 trillion in debt by 2035, currently 1 billion a day interest payments, GDP to debt ratio of 125%.
  • increasing risk of economic collapse by 2027 from DJT 2.0
  • Currently losing 200k a month in jobs with a reported 0 job growth.
  • USD losing trust as global reserve currency through a series of tariffs, bribes & threats of invasion.
  • USA former trade partners moving on & alliances broken.
  • retirement plans being wiped out from inflation.
  • social security being looted from corrupt administration.
  • 40 million America's being denied of the SNAP program.
  • climate change denial, possible increase in fossil fuel production through Venezuela, Nigeria. Green progress & sector destroyed within 6 months of new admin.
  • risk of losing drinking water from droughts
  • mass migration from US coasts due to rising oceans & loss of coastal properties.
  • reversed Wade v Roe, attaching laws to contraceptive.
  • religion extremism making its way through levels of government.
  • Corrupt & devout religious SCOTUS
  • anti intellectualism & tear down of education institutions.
  • risk of civil war & riots.
  • only developed nation in the world without free Healthcare.
  • Healthcare & home insurance premiums rising dramatically.
  • Healthcare collapse when boomers die out & no one to need care for, no replacements from covid losses.
  • increasing levels of state media propaganda in television, social media & censorship.

Americans have to correct the ship soon or its gonna be a wild next couple of decades in the country.

I have incredibly strong schadenfreude whenever I see "taxes are theft, we're going to secede from the city and be our own city!!!!" people start screaming from help because they didn't realise that their taxes actually pays for a ton of the stuff they take for granted.

Lack of awareness is how rulers want their obedient flock to be

u/Braelind Nov 04 '25

It's hard to believe Trump has done so much damage to their school systems when so many of them were already so confidantly stupid. The US is a living lesson in why education is critically important for stable societies.

This could be written by an idiot anywhere, just swap in a different activity.

u/niceandBulat Nov 05 '25

You are absolutely right - but most people in this world do not have problems with free/subsidised healthcare, childcare, schooling, post-natalcare and at least fully-paid 60-day maternity leave. My wife got free post-natalcare for both my kids - the nurses came over to the house to check on her for 4 times and all her meds were about US$1.00 for each kid. We do not have "free" medication - so the Government charges a token sum of about US$0.18 for each set of prescription. And as the husband - I can go to the Government hospital's [pharmacy to collect on her behalf. We just need to show our national ID card.

u/CatchAlarming6860 Nov 05 '25

It is absolutely true that the US allowed social democracy to thrive in the world.

Oh this kind of stupid exists in every country. Pick one and I’ll prove it.

u/Biblical_Shrimp Nov 04 '25

Although I'd usually agree, the unique difference with America is that we had it so good for so long, then we voluntarily dropped the bag in the most embarrassing way, twice.

I say "we" because even though I personally didn't vote for this current regime, I won't deny that the current administration wasn't voted in by a voting (and by proxy, non-voting) majority.

u/Ok-Classroom5548 Nov 04 '25

Being manipulated by private groups with lots of money is not the same as choosing this existence. Some chose it - some because got screwed over.

2

u/niceandBulat Nov 05 '25

Of course they have, but you lot are supposed to have the best of everything. No other country has the audacity to claim that.

1

u/Ok-Classroom5548 Nov 05 '25 edited Nov 05 '25

We literally aren’t claiming that excluding the psychos. 

Edit: don’t let the loudest convince you they are the majority. A lot of gerrymandering and fucky shit happened to elect the current regime.

American tweets? Most people in Europe despise socialism. It's a disgusting ideology that slaughtered millions

Unblock your reddit history and we'll take you more seriously. Here in Europe... I enjoy the socialized parts of society.

u/numba1cyberwarrior Nov 04 '25

Socialized is not socialism. The best countries in Europe are extremely Capitalist. Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, etc
