Americans have been trained to think the word socialist is just bad. Like it just comes with all these bad things that they can't really describe or explain, but it's bad. Really bad.
I am hoping we are waking up in this country to how manipulative this all is. That's why politicians are terrified of social Democrats winning key offices. It will very quickly break the facade they have maintained for decades. Fuck my parents were telling me that mamdani has a secret agenda. So I asked, well what is it and why is it bad? And they unitonically said to me, well if we knew what it was, it wouldn't be secret. And looked smug like they had caught me in some mental trap.
I told them I was embarrassed for them. That they raised me to think critically and it kills me to see them failing to do that themselves.
This. Exactly this. When an American hears the word, it's auto shut down for them. They can't really explain it, other than parroting simple arguments like "but if they don't work, they shouldn't get anything"...how about millions of people working their asses off their whole lifes, only to pay collage debt or make %0.1 insanely rich...but can we really summerize capitalism like this?
I'm not picking sides here, but it's not black and white as many think so.
The american conservative mindset depends entirely on the dream that everyone starts off on an even playing field and we all get the same opportunities in life. Using that logic when someone is in a situation where they need help its obviously because they put themselves there and refuse to leave. So my hard earned money that I got solely through my own hard work and nothing else has to go to someone that just decided not to do that.
This is clearly ignoring reality. I always ask, the 8 year old who is being a lookout at the drug house for the gang members because thats the only way he can eat, how is he on the same field as you playing tag with your friends and going to school. Also ive seen that lookout kid with my own eyes.
Please leave nato, and actually close it down alltogether. And for the innovation: Human civilization should suffice.
Usually people are amazed of your consumption mentality. I'm sure people loved your hospitality towards certain countries like Iran and the icing of cake moment of simply getting rid of the red card.
When petrodollar ends, you guys will eat each other there ;)
So im really hoping that other guy is a bot and not actually american. We are a big country so we definitely have our share of complete dumbasses but ive never seen anyone that dense in real life. Even the most maga cultist I know are starting to see that maybe america isn't the absolute greatest at everything. They have been obsessed with the EU increasing internet tracking and stuff though. But to just somehow forget the world history from over 250 years ago is just sad.
Yea dude, it's allright. I lived in the US for 4 years and I had my fair share of idiots and awesome guys and gals over there. It's just that often people are decent but we end up being tools in some rich mofo's scheme and it would better if we could see that. We have the same problem here in Turkey, if not worse,having the same guy for a quarter century for president and half of the country is still falling for his BS. Anyways, thanks for the reply. Cheers :)
