Some random asshole on the internet had a similar challenge when it came to not generalizing 300,000,000 people and sadly failed their challenge :'(

He looks like he's taking a shit

[-] sleeplessone@lemmy.ml 15 points 19 hours ago

The only wrong part of this meme is the implication that burgers would even try to not blame foreign meddling.

No you don't understand, it wasn't 80 years of fascist power consolidation and continual capitalist cannibalization since the 70s, It is all Putin manipulating social media causing the material conditions in the Global North. One thing is for sure, no one wrote a book in the nineteenth century describing this exactly.

You don't understand, the U.S. was sold to Russia in 2016, then it was reclaimed and thanklessly saved by our harm-reduction, lesser-evilism enjoyer (very wholesome), then it was hopelessly sold back again to Russia just recently..

It's also a problem in europe

Edit: people blaming immigrants, that is, not immigration itself

[-] Samsuma@lemmy.ml 10 points 19 hours ago

and blaming communism, despite the fact that there's no communism to be found in Europe

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 day ago

They don't even try.

It's not like Musk was elected.

[-] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 63 points 1 day ago

Elon Musk is a foreigner that is directly causing our current problems.

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 41 points 1 day ago

The US has been the most evil country on earth long before musk arrived.

[-] GFGJewbacca@lemm.ee 11 points 23 hours ago

I would argue that the British Empire and Belgium were pretty fucking evil long before the US came into existence.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 hours ago

The US is like a franchise of that nightmare though.

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 13 points 22 hours ago

After WW2 most of the worlds imperialism, death and destruction and theft has shifted. The main perpetrator went from being Europe to the US. With Europe remaining complicit of course.

[-] GFGJewbacca@lemm.ee 5 points 21 hours ago

That's a fair point. The US empire expanded tremendously after all the war profiteering from WW2, which allowed for the evil that we see today.

[-] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

No argument there.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 day ago

Elon Musk is a foreigner

No, he's an American citizen. Or are American liberals full 'blood and soil' now?

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Rightwingers don't usually care about whether immigrants have citizenship or not.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 day ago

Yeah, including right wing blueMAGA liberals

[-] Grapho@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago

Mfw the country is founded by foreigners who didn’t like the other foreigners

Capitalism and First-past-the-post voting.

Capitalists hate competition.

[-] Broadfern@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago

It’s those fucking illegals who came over on the mayflower that caused this

[-] TheFogan@programming.dev 16 points 1 day ago

Thanks Obama

[-] dan69@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I frequent the “…thanks a lot Obama.”

[-] CMDR_Horn@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

One in particular from. South Africa

[-] JVT038@feddit.nl 21 points 1 day ago

Lots of populist European parties are doing the same and are actually gaining votes by blaming everything on the immigrants.

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 22 points 1 day ago

It's not like most european countries are in a good position to justifiably point fingers here ...

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The author Domenico Losurdo uses the term mutual demystification a lot, especially in Liberalism - a counter history. When two parties accuse each other of being hypocrites, it often ends up showing that they both are.

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 18 points 1 day ago

I'd like to point out that I'm european, not american - this is the opposite of calling each other hypocrites.

I’ll start. Go home white people! Go back to where you came from!

[-] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

I'd love to live in Denmark, that's where most of my heritage comes from.

[-] Muffi@programming.dev 1 points 21 hours ago

I'm Danish, follow your heritage and come back, it's pretty great here

[-] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 1 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Serious question - what is the general opinion of older motorcycles in the country? Because I absolutely love my 1980 Honda XR500...

[-] Muffi@programming.dev 1 points 12 hours ago

Sorry mate, I have absolutely no idea. I live in Copenhagen, and only own a bike and don't have a drivers license.

It’s not necessarily foreigners, but rather billionaires that are the problem. They bought off and corrupted government officials long ago, and directed them to perform heinous acts to line their pockets further. The rich have got to be stopped in order for things to get better. I’d prefer to simply tax them out of existence, but there are other means available…

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 day ago

The US was founded on slavery and genocide / conquest of hundreds of indigenous nations. It's rotten to the core.

[-] crusa187@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago

Yeah, and many of those founders were rich businessmen who didn’t want to pay taxes to the king of England. This is a human problem, not a national one.

[-] sleeplessone@lemmy.ml 5 points 22 hours ago

Yeah, and many of those founders were rich businessmen who didn’t want to pay taxes to the king of England.

They were pissy that the king made it illegal to expand westward and exterminate all of the indigenous people. They were all "no, actually, the British Empire isn't evil enough. Let's make an even bigger and eviller empire than the [at the time] most evil empire on Earth."

This is a human problem, not a national one.

It is a national and class problem, not a human one. Human nature is a bs concept invented to sell the status quo.

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

George washington, franklin, jefferson, madison, all the founders were slave-owning colonizers who explicitly modelled their country after ancient Rome.

It's not a human problem, these were specifically evil people who did not share the same values as the people they murdered and enslaved.

Most countries were not founded in this way.

[-] Geodad@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago

Republicans do, but they blame them on the wrong foreigners. The foreigners causing most of the problems are Musk, Murdoch, Ramaswami, and a few others.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Republicans do

Democrats frequently blame all of the USs problems on Russians.

Musk, Murdoch, Ramaswami

All three are literally US citizens, and Ramaswamy was literally born in Ohio.

I see that American liberals are white nationalists now.

[-] Geodad@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago

I’m not a liberal. I just call the rot where I see it, and suggest it be cut out. Where’s Mario’s brother when you need him?

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago
