It’s a peculiar thing

Very American

I want to work as little as I possibly can. I have plenty to do with my life and making money for someone else isn’t important to me

Look, I don’t disagree with you at all

But you appear to be looking to preach to the converted

I get the frustration, but the people you are arguing with aren’t your enemy

Well, you just outed yourself as a part of the problem

If you’re constantly being accused of being a creep, I’m going to go with the simple answer

You’re a creep

It’s amazing how I’ve never had this problem, and have many meaningful connections with all sorts of people

I’m not a yank

I despise America. I recognise that there are many good people there, but as a country, I can’t wait for it to fall and stop making everywhere else worse because of their idiocy

I don’t have your faith in the American people

I see that tragic poem of “first they came for” unfolding in real time

I see a nation who like you say, are beaten down

But I also see a society which celebrates being selfish, so I don’t think you’re capable of banding together, even when it’s obvious that you should (ie. a few decades ago when Regan was in power)

It doesn’t help that America is a deliberately stupid country

Land of the free

But only so far as it allows idiots to own firearms,

To kill children, not actually rise up against tyrants

Can’t hold a burger and a rifle at the same time, huh 'Murica?

I’m not some stupid 'Murican

I know Obama wasn’t perfect, but of you’re going to claim that he was as harmful to the world as Trump, then I’m going to tell you that you’re a fucking idiot who simply likes the view from an imaginary high horse

The civilised world sneers at your country for good reason, and Obama was definitely part of the machinery, but he was immeasurably better than what you stupid cunts (as a country) elected, but if you’d rather sit in a could of your own farts, then you’re no better

Do something, or shut the fuck up

The rest of the world is tired of your stupidity

They will always forgive Trump any transgression, because he tells them that they are righteous in their hatred of anyone they fear

There’s no hatred like Christian love

He had literally told them that they’re special and that they can do whatever they want, so long as they support him

It’s horrific, and my heart goes out to the people in the US who genuinely deserve better

Shouldn’t you be celebrating how the slaughter of children in schools means you’re free?

Don’t lump decent booze-hounds like myself in with that worthless heap of shit

You’re giving alcoholics like me a bad image

The typical American is desperate, struggling, frightened and beaten into apathy

Unfortunately, they’re also incredibly poorly educated and ignorant.

What they’re taught in school is a sanitised and propagandised version of the world, where America is always the hero

When they are shown how civilised countries operate, the response is always “this is America, we don’t want that here, despite the fact that it’s demonstrably better for everyone in society”

Yep

Those who didn’t vote against it were perfectly happy to have it happen

They just want to claim a moral high ground that they don’t deserve

Stop sniffing your own farts and don’t look a gift horse in the mouth

Yep

Plenty of psychopaths and sociopaths amongst them

Lots of very bright people support the right wing of politics because they stand to personally gain

Being smart doesn’t mean that you’re ethical or capable of empathy

Still less stupid than “the bible says so!” when they clearly haven’t read it

Or anything…

Sure, but perhaps take solace that we’re less deliberately hateful and that stupidity isn’t celebrated as it is among the arch conservatives?

Now the rest of the world can do the rest of the vapid cunts
