@NaomiSeibt A friend of mine in Austria finds all the memes of Europoors complaining about American AC supremacy hilarious because she has an AC and doesn't pay much to use it.
Real life Americans vs How they are perceived online is the real game changer 🇺🇸
We get told all sorts of nasty things about Americans. All it’s taken is 3 weeks here to realise none of it is true. Why have you lot let people do this to your reputation?
@TheFarmadillo@SkylarSkye3 Shit, now I understand. Ontario Canada Aye. I was there with the Post National Exhibit in 1978. Shithole then probably a grander shithole now.
You truly are as retarded as I thought. Really that is your educated retort? You only encountered Americans at the World Cup? Were you secreted between matches with no interaction with others. Please go back to whatever shithole you arrived from and please, please, please, I beg you please do not return.
@TheFarmadillo@SkylarSkye3 Yup 350 million people collectively colluded to change our behavior to make us look better than is typical…you are a complete simpleton if that is what your pea sized brain actually thought was the explanation. We can’t get four people to agree what to have for dinner.
The Democratic establishment deserves a slow clap here.
Really. Bravo.
They spent years building the perfect little political terrarium: NGOs, activist salaries, university grievance factories, donor cash, media protection, blue-city patronage, “equity” rackets, and taxpayer-funded do-gooder laundromats all humming along under the sacred banner of “Our Democracy.”
Then they looked at the radicals crawling around inside and said, “Surely these people will remain manageable.”
Absolutely brilliant, guys.
Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries now look like substitute teachers trying to take attendance during a prison riot. The donors are sweating through their custom suits. The consultants are pretending this is just a “messaging challenge.” The media is polishing the same old turd and calling it “youth energy.”
No, champ. This is not youth energy.
This is the bill.
You told them America was evil.
You told them capitalism was theft.
You told them police were the enemy.
You told them borders were immoral.
You told them every institution had to be “decolonized,” “reimagined,” or burned down and rebuilt by people with sociology degrees and untreated rage.
Now they believe you.
And worse, they want promotions.
That is the humiliation. The party bosses thought they were renting radicals by the hour. Turns out the radicals thought they were being trained to run the place.
Democrats built the hive, fed the hive, defended the hive, and called anyone who noticed a conspiracy theorist.
Now the hive has the keys.
Enjoy the buzzing.

Beaucoup de figures de gauche, aux US comme en Europe, qualifient Musk d'extrême droite. Certains vont jusqu'au mot « nazi ».
J'ai fait l'inverse de l'accusation : lire avant de juger. Deux biographies. Des dizaines d'heures d'interviews et de documentaires. Zéro once de racisme détectée.
Ce que j'ai trouvé, c'est une obsession constante pour la liberté : rachat de Twitter au nom de la liberté d'expression, réintégration des comptes bannis, publication des Twitter Files, ouverture du code de l'algorithme, open-source de Grok, brevets Tesla libérés en 2014, Starlink rallumé pour les Iraniens coupés du net pendant les manifestations et pour l'Ukraine, refus répété des demandes de censure étatiques.
Maintenant, faisons l'expérience de pensée que ses accusateurs ne font jamais. Imaginez que Musk soit réellement evil.
Cet homme possède un réseau de satellites qui couvre la planète, soit une capacité de surveillance quasi totale. Il possède la place publique numérique la plus influente du monde. Il possède la première fortune à 1000 milliards de l'Histoire, depuis l'IPO de SpaceX le 12 juin. Aucun individu n'a jamais concentré autant de leviers.
Un Musk réellement malveillant, avec ça dans les mains, ne tolérerait pas une seconde qu'on le traite de nazi H24 sur sa propre plateforme. Il bannirait. Il surveillerait. Il écraserait. On serait déjà dans 1984.
Or regardez la réalité : les comptes qui l'accusent de nazisme tweetent toujours. Tous les jours. Sans entrave. Sur son réseau. Avec son algorithme. La dystopie totalitaire qu'on lui prête se démontre par l'absence du goulag.
Voilà le retournement. 1984 le contrôle de la parole, la surveillance de masse, la désignation publique des hérétiques ce n'est pas son projet. C'est le fantasme de ceux qui l'accusent. L'accusation décrit toujours l'accusateur.
C'est du Girard à l'état pur : on désigne un bouc émissaire pour ne pas voir le mécanisme qu'on porte soi-même. Celui qui hurle « nazi » rêve souvent, en silence, du pouvoir de bannir, de ficher, de faire taire.
L'homme qui aurait tous les moyens de bâtir 1984 est précisément celui qui laisse ses pires détracteurs parler. Demandez-vous qui, dans cette histoire, rêve vraiment du télécran.
@joncoopertweets And not one memorable result from any. Just the same global, elitist dogma. Doesn’t take greatness to follow. Nor does it take greatness to divide. It does take greatness to lead…to set a course proper but different. Not one leader in this photo.
@BBontour03@jillylove We’re not fond of tipping either. Unless it’s cow. You may not understand but it is a thing. Thank you for visiting and being so kind.
@JohnSetzco@markwalker5555 Compare the tax revenue collected, per person, by your “highest standard of living” countries and get back to me. The US collects $5 trillion a year. Roughly $14,500 for every citizen or $58,000 per family of four. It isn’t the taxes collected it’s the priorities on spending.
@EdBaker97 Thank you for visiting and for your kind words. Sometimes looking in from the outside exposes the beauty that those living in it miss. I’ve always loved my country, I’m so glad you have seen in her what I always have. I bid you great blessings. Please return.
