When a truly vicious and awful woman like her says that,

Maybe people should listen

Well, to be fair, the civilised world listened, but 'Murica has always been busy sitting in the corner eating crayons and finger-painting on the with its own shit

unfortunately america grew into largest democratic experiment of its time. many of its base processes were not designed to deal with operating such a large country effectively and its not easy to change because of inertia.

the good news is we learned from america's disaster and most other democratic systems post dating it are more robust

It was never based on democracy though

It was stolen

Then, people were brought to 'Murica because people who were already rich needed more slaves

Then, those people were weighted as a fraction of a white person when some semblance of equality started to leak in (under duress)

The US wasn't some experiment

It isn't something that happened with some noble purpose in mind (despite the propaganda)

It was a way for some rich people to take over a place to get even more rich

Now it has become the epitome of that celebrated greed

There are plenty of people just as wealthy, especially in Russia and India, but it's the Murican billionaire who is considered smart

You know,

Because racism

They're all awful cunts, but the Yanks are somehow held up as economic titans, rather than parasites

Literally none of that is related to what I said except in the most general sense. Me: america's institutions are democratically very flawed and where used as a way to not build a democracy in modern times. You: OMG AMERICA SUCKS AND HERE IS ALL THE TERRIBLE THINGS THEY'VE DONE.

Yeah no shit. happy you could trauma dump though. hope you feel better.

You say... the price of my love is not a price that you're willing to pay.
