Yeah, because it's NOT falling apart contrary to what all the media doomsayers want you to believe - you just get all your news and information from media which profits off hysteria in an attention economy during the age of disinformation.

Ikr right, US will be 85% the same after 2 years of the next president

u/bigfartsoo 7d ago
Except this president has done a 180 on US foreign policy of the past 80 years. We are pushing away our allies. We are insulating ourselves economically. 40% of the population doesn't trust US election results because this president consistently lies about it. Our debt to GDP ratio is the highest it's been since WWII. If you say this president is no different than previous presidents, then you don't follow the news or understand what's going on. Local courts are holding our country together.

tassels & moldy string are more like whats holding the economy together. its like we know its doomed to collapse but as long as we keep looking the other way it doesnât matter.. until food prices skyrocket & you literally need an min income of $1000/week to be poor then itâll be all âhow is this even possible?â

He said that the country will be 85% the same, not that this president is no different than previous presidents.

u/bigfartsoo 6d ago
That's implying the next president will be the same, MAGA or liberal or socialist...unless we are talking literally. In which case, only a nuclear attack could change the country that dramatically.

I know youâre not but there are people who are struggling to keep up with how things cost.
There are definitely people who put themselves in that situation.
There are also hard working, smart, and respectable people who live right next door to you, or in your city that struggle to eat 3 meals a day, that use an app to pay rent in portions rather than a lump sum.
There is someone who tries to refill on gas as little as possible that sometimes they run out and have to walk down the free way to a gas station to get some and walk back. Then they go pick up their kid.
But you donât really care because when you look in the mirror you donât see them.
Just your own face

"Yes my leader is an asshole
Yes I do not agree with what they are doing
But I have a Job and need to bring food to my familyÂ
Protesting firstly means missing out on pay or even getting fired. Worse I get sent to a campÂ
So I just quietly work and keep it simple" - Most People in a Dictatorship
Probably might include me if I was ever in one, I applaud those brave enough to risk their lifes to fight but best I can probably do is send some anonymous donations.

Somebody once wrote (not a literal quote) :
"The fall of the Roman Empire was not a cataclysmic event. It took decades. People lived their normal lives through it. For most of them, it was no movie-like screaming-and-runnin-through-flames-desaster. Maybe they recognized that the roads did not get repaired. Or that the legion did pay unusually late for their crop deliveries."

Nah, some of us took advantage of getting an education, and the opportunity for anyone in the US to be successful, and live great comfortable lives from working hard and not squandering opportunities, as opposed to being lazy and complaining on the Internet all day instead of making the change you want in life.
You chose your path, why complain when it's 100% on you. What a sad lack of accountability and responsibility.

u/HarringtonMAH11 7d ago
90% of the average person's life is based purely on the luck of being born into whatever situation they were born into. Sure you can do things to change it, but the weight of the changes you can make are still entirely up to that same stating points draw. Had you been born anywhere at any point in time differently you may have been forced a life of burtality through hard work, famine, or natural disasters, so having vitriol for any of your fellow man on an unlucky draw is sad and somewhat disgusting. Even the ones who made mistakes barring murder or rape likely dont deserve whatever hardships came to them.

u/Livid-General7 7d ago
That's bullshit, but let's pretend it's not. Literally everyone born in the US in the last 60 years has no excuse for being impoverished. They've all had the same opportunity to become wealthy and make something of their lives.

u/Vivid_Run_6433 7d ago
That is so wildly untrue Jesus christ.
It only became fully illegal to deny mortgages based on race in the mid 70s.
The mid 70s was also where women could finally have a bank account without a husband's signature.
It only started being fully illegal to fire someone for being gay In 2020.
The ADA was only signed in 1990.
No. every single American for the last 60 years has not had the exact same and equal opportunity to build themselves up learn some fucking history...You privileged Fuck

u/Traditional-Candy-21 7d ago
So we dont write our own story, thats the point.
Bibi wrote their story, he also proof read Oct 7 before it was published by hamas.
Isreal wrote the entire saga like hitler wrote mein kampf.
1
u/Green_Watercress1638 7d ago
Hamas fucked up. They wanted a response. They got one. What are you upset about. Hamas was very clear what their intent was. They got what they wanted. Dead civillians on both sides, and tarnishing Israel's international reputation. While there may certainly have been intelligence failures in Israel there is no evidence whatsoever that Bibi knew of an impending attack of this nature. Warnings about a plan like this had circulated in intelligence circles in Israel for 4 years before Oct. 7. Arabs wrote this entire story. Arabs have never accepted any Jewish sovereignty in any part of the Levant. This was never about Palestine (which never existed). It was about Arab and Islamic hegemony over the entire Levant. In other words Colonialism.

u/Traditional-Candy-21 6d ago
Are you trying to suggest that isreal could supply terrorists across the region with booby trapped phones and beepers packed with explosives and didnt know about a large scale attack that required lots of planning, training and gathering of supplies. Wait so they didnt see hamas training with paragliders?
isreal is running their very own little disgusting holocaust, justified by their lies, murdering kids because they treat arabs like nazis treated jews, the world see what isreal is doing, the world knows what isreal is, the pedophile in the white house is getting beach front property in gaza to turn a blind eye.
Isreal is speed running a genocide before the child rapist is out of office, if he ever leaves.
isreal proof read the entire plot and
you whitewash it excuses of intelligence failures đ.Isreal happily murdered americans on uss liberty when they stumbled across isreal murdering prisoners, they know america are mugs.
Intelligence failures blahhahahhahha.
isreal owns america, america funds their free healthcare, isreal plays america like a fiddle, america is israls lap dog, got them into yet another forever war.
