"My country is really big therefore it's not my fault if nothing gets done about the regime that's fucking up my country."
Why aren’t those Russians stopping Putin? They’ve had like 20 years.
Because they didn't stop him 20 years ago.
"my country is really big and I do not have the physical ability, means, or resources to travel to where the problem is to effectively impose change"
Your comment is literally proving it's right, you're too stupid, ignorant, or stubborn to consider anything other than what allows you to continue spewing nonsense
And your comment proves you are ok with doing nothing. Fucks sake.
Utter utter fucking BULLSHIT. It's all just trying to justify doing pretty much fuck all about the orange paedo and his goons. Fucking embarrassing.
At no point did I say travel to the whitehouse and punch the kiddie fiddler in the face. Which is impossible. But where's the mass protests? No fucking where.
Where's the general strikes? {tumbleweed}
Where's, well, any decent effort at all? "Oh well, it's a big country so I'll just wait for someone else to do it".
FUCK OFF with your "but it's miles away" CRAP. You guys live in a world where communication is almost instant yet there's hardly any protests. And yet in decades gone by people could protest without the internet. Why haven't you guys? Because most of you are ok with a child abusing, failed reality TV star, rapist dictator running things.
Which, as far as I'm concerned, is tantamount to you condoning what he's done.
FUCK OFF
Proper shitamericanssay material.
Fucking bingo.
If my grandparents (and many others) had the thought process of "Hitler, pffft. He's in a few countries away, what can I do about it?", billions of people would be speaking German today.
They fucking voted, or enabled, the obese child raping dictator to be president (TWICE) and now most won't do fuck all about it.
This is a real problem though. Democracy is a fuck-based system. Uneducated people fuck without protection more ofthen than educated people, which gives them more voting power. Minorities (mental or otherwise) are only protected if the big-fuckers want it, since by design majority wins.
Except the quality of education and other sources of information one receives during life by far outweighs the genetic element of intelligence (which you are confusing with education).
People getting dumber doesn't mean Idiocracy is a documentary - especially if it's happening too fast to be genetic. It's the education system that is cooked.
I… what?
Every person (who is not deemed invalid, criminals cannot vote haha what if they change the law right?) gets to vote + Everyone's vote counts the same = If you have one child your family has 3 votes, if your neighbor has 4 children they have 6 votes. In a democratic event, if they can come to an agreement, they choose what happens without your input.
Maybe in the next generation your children will out-procreate their children, then you get to decide without your neighbor's input. How isn't it fuck-based?
Of course, this requires all children to share their parents' political alignment and not deviate from it whatsoever.
Which is probably the best joke I'll read today.
