Maybe we’ve always been the bad guys, but it sucks that the US is openly being the bad guys now. This isn’t the country I was indoctrinated to think it was. Sad.
The US have always been the bad guys. Even independence was about being able to do more genocide and land stealing without the British getting in the way.
Canada also has a brutal history of both slavery and genocide.
Accepting that is the first step to overcoming systemic racism and building communities that we can all thrive in.
You’re right. Everybody is just being dramatic and pretending they can’t afford to own a home. Especially the people having their homes repossessed. They are the biggest fakers of all.
You said people. There’s plenty of people who can afford a home. I get that it sucks for you, but there’s many who can. It isn’t just a rich person thing.
And no, I don’t think they’re pretending, I think you’re being overdramatic.
I was at a bar a while back and the talk stuck with me. He was a Israeli who moved to America about twenty years ago and still visits Israel to see his family.
He said, “Americans have to stop seeing America as being #1 at anything.” We talked about Israel and Palestine, we talked about the current White House bs, and afterwards, I finally understood what he was saying, especially with the lens of him being an Israeli.
America is America. It’s a place that exists. The rest of the world has a lot better everything. It’s like living in a small backwater town: You know it’s shit, and it wont magically become something it’s not, especially if the Mayor and the Sheriff are inbred hicks who bang each other’s sister wives. Maybe you grow your nestegg until you can move. Or maybe you carve out a piece of the shit hole. But know that it’s a shit hole.
That’s America. Just keep milking because the lunatics are out of their cage.

Everywhere in the world had slavery.
Thats not true
you be the first to give up your land and give it back to the Indians… but u wont :)
People dont own land anymore. We live and die in ever-inflating rental properties.
My parents are teachers. They own land. It’s not quite as impossible as people like to pretend. Hell, my 20 year old cousin has a house

Friendly reminder that practically speaking most countries have committed genocide if they’ve been around longer than a century ish.
