I love how the U.S. spent like 90 years building up soft power around the world and we are giving it all up in like a 3 month span.
Every person in charge of an agency, is literally not qualified to run a grocery store let alone the agencies they run.
Its alll about loyalty now, and its going to send the U.S. back into the dark age.
We were already a 3rd world country in comparison to most of our allies. Now we are speedrunning becoming a 7th world country
That's dumb, leave the U.S. sometime. Despite the problems in the U.S., we are still one of the richest countries on the planet. I went to a plant in Mexico for work a few years ago, and there were people living in sheds with no running water, entire neighborhoods of that. Outside of homeless people, even our poorest people have it better than a lot of other countries.
Says a lot about a country that they’d enjoy such riches and look to their neighbor and allow them to languish so. Really Christian.
I mean, it's not my choice. I can yell and scream about how my taxes are used till I'm blue in the face and they're still gonna use it on the military industrial complex.
are you familiar with Thoreau's Civil Disobedience?
They really want us to believe we are powerless. They shoot people for making them wonder if that’s actually true. Idk, maybe we’re not so powerless.
