I rarely get ads, thanks to pihole. But whenever my server is down for maintenance etc. I get spammed with "Visit the USA!" and "America the Beautiful" ads. I live in Australia... Why the fuck would I want to visit that shithole country?
It seems like the US is drowning and is trying desperately to get more people in to replace the "illegals" they're deporting. Maybe I'm just their target audience (straight, white, male) ughh.... makes me feel gross.
Hi, American here. Please never come here. While YOU would be mostly safe, we are still a dumpster fire.
Eh, if we manage to get our shit together I encourage everyone to visit our national parks. It's not safe now or for the foreseeable future, but if it is in the future, they really are something to behold.
Here's the great thing, nature is something to behold in most parts of the planet. We don't need to travel across oceans to be wowed by it, we have our own. Sod going to the USA ever again.
Before trump 2 electric boogaloo this was one of my biggest dreams..
What you're seeing, unironically, is a century long conspiracy from billionaires to put the entire North American continent and northern South America under a single fascist state called "The Technate of America".
I shit you not.

Even Elon Musk's grandpa was in on this. And now their dependents are trying (through the MAGA movement) make it happen.
Why is Trump obsessed with annexing Greenland? Why did he invade Venezuela and kidnap Maduro? Why is he starving Cuba and threatening war? Why is he demanding Canada be annexed by America?
This is why. Billionaires are cashing in on their century long investment of colonizing a world power and establishing themselves as the leaders of the world. It sounds moronic and like a conspiracy theory, but its real, and these people are dumb enough to try it.
Guy said the USA is shithole country, if I ever visit Australia, I'm buying you dinner lmfao
Buy most of us dinner, it is not an uncommon opinion
Shoutout to the PiHole team!
youtube accounts should be authenticated to a human being in an organisation and those details be public to save democracy
No. Education should be better funded. I'll give social media platforms my ID when hell freezes over.
Be very, very careful in advocating for that.
I am just curious, what is making you gross?
existing is enough to feel guilty now, apparently.
For straight white men, it's been that way for at least a decade now...
Sounds like someone needs a double dose of.... FREEDOM! /s
No, we definitely are trying to use rich whites as a patch on the leaking dam now that we've been trying to deport all the "illegals" as fast as we can (and to get the administration filthy fucking rich). "Rich" in this case being "over $50k/year so we might be able to get them to buy a car and rent an apartment Considering they're talking about lifting the immigration restrictions on white South Africans specifically.
