Dont worry if you dont live in the USA the USA will come to you..
Or so the new native american saying goes.
Eh, pretty much all countries has their own problems not just America.
I dream of the day that we make America a place that OP would like to visit.
I’ve thought about moving out of America but global warming seems primed to kill us all by slowly pressuring us to death or near death without aliens coming down here to lay down the law in a way we can’t ignore. We’re all fucked, whether sooner or later. As much as I would want to live in Europe or Southeast Asia, I would feel about Russia or China like I did about Trump in 2022, that the peace is only temporary.
The states is a 3rd world country man, been one for a while if it even is one
…lucky!
Bobby, if those kids could read, they’d be very upset.
Sleep in a house you own? Can't relate
How I sleep knowing that 90% of my genuine reddit opinions result in fire that can melt steel beams in world trade center.
Meanwhile my mere presence at the holy sites of Jerusalem or even in means of transportation has similar effect. Honestly maybe I would trade this talent away for something more useful because no-one even wants to pay me for it.
It takes zero conscious effort on my part too. So I would be getting some good passive income like this. If you want someone pissed off hire me and I will push all the right buttons
Right now, wherever you are, there are people paid by the USA trying their best to make your life worse in order to
- Align your country's foreign policy closer to the goals to that of the USA
- Shape your economy so that American corporations can enrich themselves by extracting the maximum value out of your country.
So yeah, there is no escape from America. That's the whole point of being the global hegemon.
Imagine if this said "How I sleep knowing I don't live in Palestine, and never will."
If you don't come to America, America comes to you.
I’ve found the USA to have some of the nicest, most welcoming people I’ve ever met. Probably some of these people have been lead down dark voting paths, against their own, and the world’s, best interests. All we can really hope for is enough people speak sense persuasively enough for them to hear it. And that means being understanding, empathetic and tolerant.
I wish I could be all of you rn
I live in America. It's 2 AM and I just awoke from a nightmare wherein I was running from the govt. My wife, dog, and I were in hiding at my home, with friends occupying the place to help us stay hidden. But a drone spotted me. I shot it down, but we had 10 minutes to pack what I could into a short yellow schoolbus (which quickly became a British double-decker) and take off before agents showed up to capture or kill us.
By the way, I'm a white male, married to a white woman, and by all outside appearances, cis and "normal". Probably one of the most protected classes in America right now. And even I'm having nightmares about where our country is headed and when it'll be "my turn."
I woke up, picked up my tablet, and this was the top post in my feed. 😣
The problem is that so many of us INSIDE the US still sleep like that, especially the ones who match homer’s kind of “dopey white middle aged boomer dad who raised a family on a single factory job” demographic.
I match some of those demographics, like the dopey white middle aged USAmerican dad raising a family with his one income. I don’t match him in other areas because I am an over-educated tech worker living in an old cheap blue collar neighborhood to make it happen in current day.
I am extremely unhappy and embarrassed about just about every single thing that has my country is in the news, to say the least. It makes me sad and worried for the entire world. Giving a shit about other people while evil morons are grabbing power will do that to you.
But for people who look like me and don’t follow what’s going on in the world or care about other people? My day to day real life in my local physical environment is comfortable and privileged as hell, and so is a lot of theirs.
Combine that with our culture where a “successful” life is constant stress over the rat race and keeping up with the Joneses, so that you are worried about making the payments on your luxury SUV rather than whether your government is destroying people you don’t know while funneling your resources to people who already have 1000x more than you.
The only difference between the US and Canada is how far along the path you are. There's a reason your government gives standing ovations to literal Nazis
Thinking about the USA right now too much doesn't lead to any good sleep for me at all right now. Because there's bad things happening to good people there. I feel awful for the actual decent people that share a country with cruel and dogmatic clowns. People who probably live next door to someone who voted to ensure their rights get taken away and their lives become even more miserable.
I honestly struggle to come to terms with the fact so many people are still so cruel and backwards. It's not the stupidity that's the main problem, it's the malicious intent and desire to turn everyone into a goose stepping clone. And how easily people are turned into goose stepping clones. Conned by reality stars and drug addicted tech bros, what a joke. I think it's part stupidity and part the fact that these people really are just malicious assholes, so they could've been convinced into this by a talking toilet brush mascot.
I feel sorry for the intelligent and empathic, and the people who dare to live lives that are true to themselves without dogma who have to live in a country with the stupid and selfish, and the people who want to impose their narrow minded puritanical views onto everyone else with force and cruelty.
I'll be sleeping like a baby when the goose stepping clowns are all dying of some easily preventable disease that they could've vaccinated for but right now there's nothing comforting about what's going on there.
I am actually moving away in Aug…
Nothing as funny as Americans tell us how we are parasites, and how they don't want us there. WE DON'T WANT TO GO THERE.
Yes
Lucky duck.
