“The government doesn’t owe you anything”
I pay taxes. They owe me affordable, if not free, healthcare, decent wages, affordable housing, clean water, reliable public services and a standard of living that doesn’t require me to work myself to death just to survive.
@promptborzai@GluGluxGlan You know, living in cooperative social networks, taking care of common spaces and resources, and trying to make the environment for both ourselves and our social circles better, is one of the oldest Human behaviors. American Republicans are, in an anthropological sense, subhuman.
“Too many people in the u.s. support death and destruction without being aware of it. They indirectly support the killing of people without ever having to look at the corpses.”

I think the general consensus of people around the world is that Americans can get fooled by a con man once, but to return him to power a 2nd time after having seen his corruption, incompetence, ignorance, & buffoonery, the problem isn’t just Trump it’s the American people.
The American psyche is like a retarded child: it literally cannot comprehend cause and effect, or the idea that what you do to others comes back to yourself. They declare wars against other countries and then get *genuinely* shocked and aggrieved when the enemy fights back.
