    American exceptionalism is finding an excuse for why nothing can ever work in your country yet does anywhere else.

    Meanwhile the altright descended on and almost toppled your entire system of government a few years back.

    I remember 20 years cities all across America protesting against the WoT and 1%ers.

    But nope, just can’t happen in America, they’re special.

      I mean America has been sabotaged and designed by bad actors basically since its inception. That’s just a fact. This is to say we were bred and taught to be spineless, helpless saps to be abused by the corps.

      It’s really an incredibly successful campaign. Quite impressive if it didn’t make me want to turn those responsible into mulch.

        But we’ve seen left and right organise massive nationwide protests, we’ve seen riots across the country every year after another big cop killing, etc.

        To turn around and tell us it’s too hard for you to do is a cop-out.

          I’m not saying it’s too hard, it’s that the people are not motivated because they have no spine. Those “riots” you are talking about were very isolated. 2020 got close but it wasn’t sustained. People got bored.
