    I find it very funny how Americans spent like 50 years being all “we’re God’s chosen, we’re the only truly free people, we’re the good guys of the world, we’re the peacekeepers and the liberators, we beat the big bad, our nation is the greatest in the world” non-fucking-stop, year-round, but when fascism took root in their government they were all “oh no please save us, we can’t do this, we’re helpless widdle babies, somebody fix our problems for us.”

    It must be hard when the bad guy is Caucasian huh?

      lol you’re thinking of the people who are now fully supporting the fascism. They were the ones literally threatening to kill me for being against the patriot act and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and George fucking bush. Those people will still tell you all of those things—in the same breath that they tell you the country is going down the drain because brown people exist.

      I mean all that is one of those “if you have to say it” deals.

      It’s like how North Korean is actually the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
