In alot of US Westerns cowboys and such are seen wearing long sleeves, panchos etc.? Is this real or a movie trope? If its real would not most die or drop from heat stroke?

Why does America feel the need to control the world? Do what they say? Instead of taking care of their own problems at home? When did the US become police officer of the world and enforcer?

I guess my question is who gave the Americans the right? I say this as an American. But would not the world be a better place if we just minded our own business and quit nation building and stoking non existant fires?

When did the whole Manifest Destiny quit for the US? Why did it fall out of favor and how come we barely hear about it especially in moving forward as a Society?

If no government shall bare arms against its own citizens. Then what is happening in LA?
  • I mean correct me if I am wrong sending in the National Guard/ Military and using force against civis breaking the constitution? I thought that was the whole point of the second amendment. Not taken to the extreme people do. But lets say the national guard open fire on civilizans protect people who have green guards or whatever would not a constitutional lawyer have a field day going after the government?

  • How come most news shows say a person got hit by a car? And they are in decent condition. While the same networks says the same thing about someone who got "ranover"

    I mean odds are if you got hit and bounced off the windshield and roof or something it would not be that bad. But getting ran over you would be pretty much screwed. How come they use these in a vice versa context?

    Where did the Tropes women and childeren first off a sinking ship or burning building come from? Or when a hitman will not kill any women or childered?

    I am not promoting violence but well with human history we have kind of treated women like shit. Today they get beaten or put in their place. Or kids are used for child solders and such and will carry out gang shootings. Seems like if movies are to reflect a portion of reality in movies it would reflect that. Or am I wrong?

    Im not familar on how to make meth. But is my mom in trouble with amonia windex bleach 2 empty 2 liters, batteries under the sink?

    My brother and I joked about it. Then I thought for a second if something happens to one of us and they are searching. They will think we are cooking meth?

    What is people who are drug heads always caught with guns? I have done my fair share of weed mushroom X and such but it never crossed my mind to say hey right now i need a gun.
  • I can get this but I just keep reading of such and such was driving around and caught with lets say an ounce of weed and they are a felon and also get charged for felon in posession. Also I am mainly talking about small towns. If I knew how to link i could probably come up with at least 20 30 articles.

  • Hey Tesla don't know if it would work but if I see one alone at a dealership totally going to toss a gas rag in and burn baby burn like Gone In 60 seconds. Ok now that I am a terrorist can I get three hots and a cot for about 4 years, then sue the ever living shit out of the US government? Then buy Reddit or whatever and shut it down and use the rest to promote lemmy.world
