The US government used to take black people, tell them they were getting free medical care, and instead gave them syphilis and purposefully refused to treat it to watch the disease's progression.

The US government, via the CIA, decided to infiltrate every national news outlet in order to influence what stories were published.

Both of these are proven facts, the last one is from declassified CIA documents.

Yes, there are some normal people in government. But the US government has done some of the worst actions of any group in history.

Bringing up comparators is not deflection. And no, you didn't refute my claim. Self defense is not offensive wars. You can be peaceful while being forced into war. Peaceful does not mean no violent, simply not seeking violence.

You know most people in China have unrestricted internet access, right? It's the equivalent of a couple bucks USD a year for a cheap VPN, and it's not a criminal infraction to bypass the country's default restrictions.

I'm very familiar with that bit of misunderstanding you people tend to have, I'm trying to actually educate you on reality, instead of the opinions of the CIA.

Trusting the US government as a blahaj user seems dumb to me, but hey.

A) No, no it's not a socialist policy to control prices with direct intervention. Learn what socialism is.

B) no one really cares. People want to live. That's about it. Harris made it clear she was not going to help as she claimed this was already a great economy that just needed to continue as usual. Trump said he'd fix things. People overwhelmingly (for US voter participation) voted the person that acknowledged issues even if they knew he was lying.

If this comm weren't on .world I could offer a green solution to this. But since it's here, hopefully these workers have seen the errors of their ways and apply to credit unions or other not incredibly evil companies ran by future ghosts.

People still think China isn't a democracy or Cuba is under a military dictatorship... The US is the undisputed master of disinformation and propaganda.

Forklift operators yes, construction workers also yes depending on the region. In many areas of the US the majority of construction workers are undocumented workers and thus kept at or below minimum wage. Forklift operators really don't make a lot of money. Like more than general warehouse labor but even in decent states that tends to be pretty low on the spectrum.

The instance whose only issue with reddit is who gets the ad revenue is a shitty place? Who could've guessed.

No, no, no... Just because all ranking officials of the party were specifically on the US terror list for associations with ISIS and ISIS-k, and just because the leader literally was the leader of ISIS-k; that doesn't mean they're just an offshoot of ISIS that incidentally does the West's bidding.

So all veteran owned businesses in the US are extensions of the US military?
