Because my country is populated by worthless inbred trash that fall for something so simple as “Hey! Look over there!”

Jim Crow.

The south still has similar voting restrictions, it’s just the supreme court stopped caring and said ‘sure, whatevs’.

Dude, fucking spoiler alert man, wtf?

Hey, easy there.

They also don’t give a shit about the genocide of Mexicans in America either.

I wouldn’t normally consider antisemitism, but maybe that’s why they only care about Palestinians and literally nobody else. Or maybe it’s just their own special version of racism.

As a brown person in America they clearly don’t care about genocide here.

Maybe it’s like champagne, it’s only genocide when in the genocide region of Israel, when Russia does it it’s just sparkling ethnic cleansing.

Putin says “Deeper”

Trump says “Hlaotheep-larg-larg?”

We will have peace for our time.

This isn’t blackmail, this is just expressing clear dominance.

The blackmail happens behind closed doors, and blackmail is such an ugly word: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xG6vgzAswgE

That’s just adorable.

Btw, I lived in the south, I wasn’t a citizen there either.

If I’d hung around another year I would have been a muslim terrist from the Iraqi Taliban or something.

I know, and I don’t doubt that.

But my wife is white (like, blond, blue eyes, Galadriel white), so they won’t touch her citizenship.

I guess I was an anchor baby in the end anyway.

edit: Oh, I’m rich too, so I’m golden either way.

Fucking privilege, man.

I was born here, but I was clearly an illegal immigrant in the south.

Think that’s epinephrine, ie adrenaline (as a hormone, epinephrine when a neurotransmitter or when affecting the heart and vasculature).

Edit: actually adrenaline was the first European patent name, while the US discoverer used epinephrine thinking it was a different compound, interesting.

Am brown.

The south was intolerable, it’s weird to see such naked racism in America.

But it’s a fundamental part of their culture, it’s why Obama was clearly a Muslim, because Christian means white to them.

I was born in New York, but the south was the only place where I wasn’t an American to anyone there.

The problem is: most people never have to face the reality of the south, so it’s easy to pretend it’s just an exaggeration.

I lived in the south, man, I lived in most of the country, but the South… I do not see any hope for redemption there whatsoever.

100 years after losing the civil war they still had Jim Crow and the KKK, Hitler himself wrote about them as an inspiration in Mein Kampf, lynched returning black GIs, and even today they do everything they can to stop black people from voting, or minimizing the effect, when they aren’t just beating brown people for kicks. And they still consider themselves proud of their “Heritage”:

Personally, it’s us or them now.

Btw, the reason the south had a massive opioid epidemic? After the welfare reforms the 90s, they realized that meant white people welfare too, so they all applied for SSDI for “back pain” (came out of the SS budget which rich people didn’t care about), which came with free opioid pills they could sell for more money.

Until we fix them, we’re doomed as a country.

Wisconsin is nice, much better than Michigan or Indiana, highly recommend. My only visit to Minnesota made it seem even better.

Dude, when I was a kid I moved from the midwest to the south.

It was like going from a decent, but backwards place, to living under the fucking Taliban.

I warned everyone to get out of the south while they could, but I know it’s not always possible, I just hope most made it.

The South will NEVER forgive our unimaginable crime, we elected a BLACK MAN over them, that is an evil they can never get over, and they genuinely believe we did it just because we knew it was the thing they hated most.

FS, I’m so sorry, I’m not trying to be an absolute dick here though it will sound like it.

I saw this coming miles away, hence sending my family to Europe.

I desperately hoped I was wrong (and Kamala taking over made me dare to dream), but I knew the worst bits of my country too well.

I really fucking wish I had a better plan right now, this is like the end scene of Empire, but with so much less hope. :(

Am I crazy, or did we feel less helpless the first time around?

They’re the ones who hate welfare spending, I’m just trying to help them follow their principles.

You should have to suffer the consequences of your beliefs, at least when you inflict them on others by force.

Isn’t that literally silence?

edit: That’s silence, you asshole! :p

That’s some underrated deep cut shit right there.
