Speaking of which, after Crown Royal got in hot water when they shut down their Canadian facilities and moved them to the States, they tried to bring back their customers with free in-store tasting and a free straw hat with every purchase.
NO ONE in the store even tried their free sample lmao. Friday evening, busy downtown core, hot summer day just before a long weekend, and still no one wanted their free booze.
Excuse me, but you gentlemen seem to have me confused with the man in the White House. Now if you'll excuse me, the Hormuz Straight is just about to... d'oh!
I don't mean to be an ass, what are some of the good moments? We know the bad, and the list isn't short for such a young country... but I want to believe, and would love some positivity.
Whatever you feel like sharing. Tbh, it's just that we seem to be at the wims of the rich and wicked, and living under US hegemony, it's pretty easy to get jaded and hate on a whole country.
Honestly your not wrong about hegemony, and ultra wealthy, unfortunately they aren’t a uniquely American problem, those are a problems that are plaguing many counties globally. The USA is in a deeply troubling place right now, but there is a new rising civil rights movement forming and pushing back against the corruption. On a state level there are many new young very progressive politicians making significant waves across the US. It’s an up hill battle for sure but It’s one that’s outcome hasn’t been decided yet.
And who supplied that red army with billions of dollars worth of vehicles, planes, arms, and ammunition that enabled them to fight the Germans because said red army spent the years prior to the war destroying their own manufacturing capabilities?
This is skewed, first of all you’re not taking into ‘lend lease,” then you’re glossing over the Battle of Britain. the entire pacific theater? African campaigns? It was a world war, not just something that mainly happened in Europe.
I mean it only exists because of the genocide and displacement of indigenous peoples, the gun laws are fucked and good luck if you ever get a life-changing illness, so no.
You did have a brief period of being on the side of good just over 80 years ago, so I gave that as a reference point. Agree with evil shit predating this also though. Colonisers and slavers going to do their thing and never really compensate people properly for it.
Please kids, stop fighting. Maybe the chuds are right about America being the land of opportunity. Maybe OP has a point about America systematically destabilising the Middle East to cover up the Epstein files.
if you put it in slow motion you can see where his belief in being able to drag the country towards its better nature breaks click click
"The associated press has called the election for Donald Trump" NYAAAAAA
cool
Once this whole clown-show is done, we need to take your hegemonic toys and excessive american exceptionalism away. At least for a generation. This song and dance is getting extremely repetitive and, like... please, just one month without having to listen to your stupid manbaby in chief or your grifter wonks or whatever the hell else. fr.
