Back in 1997 there was a storyline in WWF with a professional wrestler named Bret Hart.
Bret is a Canadian. And the storyline was that he was a bad guy in the USA, because he bad mouthed USAs healthcare, and treatment of veterans.
He was a good guy everywhere in the world EXCEPT the USA.
He said things like “Back home in Canada, we still act like decent people. Where we take care of the sick, and the elderly. We honor our veterans who served our country. Not like here where you dump them in the streets and spit on them as they suffer. I can’t wait to get back to Canada. A real country to be proud of. Not this fascade of an image that your country tries to project. All men are created equal, huh? Kind of hard to take that seriously, when the quotes author was a slave holder.”
Yeah. Professional wrestling was WILD in the late 90s. But I bet you thought it was just muscle roided beefy boys beating their chests and shaking the ropes, huh?
My point is, we’ve NEVER taken care of our own people. Even a professional wrestler 30 years ago could see that.
fuck your veterans of the imperialist US warcriminals
in general i would agree but many people were tricked into it.
People were also fooled into blowing themselves up, but they’re still terrorists.
i’m torn about this. most of these things happened in the middle east, and then it’s self defense, kinda, since the US invaded these countries.
WYM?
It’s not tricked. They knew what they were doing.
I can get a free education if I go kill some even poorer people, fuck that.
That’s an excuse and it’s unforgivable.
