    Yeah, it’s fucking hilarious watching our country unable to function and strangled by greed and corruption.

      Non-Americans experiencing schadenfreude after a hundred years of American self aggrandisement.

      It’s not good, but it is what it is. Welcome to the U.S.A., best country in the world.

      It’s been that way for 100 years now. But now that the consequences are affecting not just the poor and minorities everyone is just now up in arms. Malcom X, MLK, FDR, and many other people warned us this was the only outcome to putting money and power above human rights. We made this bed, and trust me when I say this is just the beginning. Except drastic upticks in prison slave labor, corporate control over resources, and war. I personally fight those things by volunteering, voting, and advocating but I have no faith in us doing what needs to be done to save ourselves or even humanity as a whole.
