          I love this comment. It’s like asking an ant to hold back the tide. The fact it’s said so unironically makes it better.

              Hey brother, this is a fucking ML website correct? So imagine this shit…

              MANY ANTS COOPERATE, to take on some grasshoppers.

              Jesus fucking christ, american “leftists” are so pathetic.

                If you are so baffled as to why your big brain advice isn’t helping then why don’t you have the sense to meaningfully adjust your expectations?

                  I don’t get what you mean? Do you mean I should adjust to celebrate when american “leftists” justify slaughter?

                  Is expecting “leftists” in america to organize is too much now?

                  Is my bar of expecting basic fucking human decency from americans too high?

                  Do you fucking hear yourself? Pathetic doesn’t begin encapsulate it. The justifications you tell yourself and lie you are living sickens me.

    I understand this rhetoric, but one extremely effective way of changing people’s opinions and broadening their world view is travel. Banning people from the US from traveling will only result in more insulation and “othering”.

    That said, American tourists are 👏the 👏worst (I say as an American). We should act like what we are: guests. I’ve had the privilege to travel to five nations that don’t speak English as their native language and have learned my P’s and Q’s every time and it’s always paid off. I speak the language terribly, but I’m at least willing to try.

      I get where you are coming from, but I think the only way to get through to the goddamned, thick skulled, toddler brained populace of the us, is to take their fucking toys away.

      Don’t allow them to travel to other countries. Economically sanction them and make burger price go up. For the love of god get the all military and all us bases out of your country.

      The us should be shunned and rot in rhe mess they made for themselves while the world builds solidarity and cooperates. Twisted fucks can learn appreciation for the world by experiencing being cut off from it.
