honestly just america being america
Found the Putiny
that was extremely weak
Amen.
Americans have a culture problem, and it's only getting worse with each generation since the 60s.
what did I choose specifically? did I kill this man? am I advocating for his death?
what is it you'd like one citizen to do. you want me to vote? I do that. every election. I canvas, I march, I try and protest things I want changed. I am doing all that I can. everyone I know does all they can.
what else do you want from me? you're talking like america is one giant collection of thugs. but that doesn't help this man. doesn't help his family. doesn't help anything.
America should be shit on at all times, no exceptions.
oh that's awesome. have the day you deserve.
Judging by their attitudes they'll have the exact day they deserve. And it will be their own making.
yeah seems to be an awful lot of people who just want to blame every death on "america."
nothing ever gets solved. no justice for this poor man.
just "america sucks."
It's depressing.
Yeah whatever you do, don't improve or advocate for change, that would be awful.
oh I do advocate for change. the xenophobia towards americans is starting to get concerning.
I can't tell if it's just for the memes anymore.
this innocent dude is dead and we have people chanting "death to America"
nothing gets fixed. trolls get fed their up votes. I love the internet. never change, guys!
It isn't xenophobia We're not afraid of Americans we're just sick of America's complete refusal to improve even marginally, because "oh no not the constitution".
the issue is assuming that every american wants this. lumping all of us in with the weirdos who shoot up innocent people when we want that to change.
you want a revolution? fantastic. tell me. how do I start that? one person using a cheap smartphone to reply to a forum on. working a minimum wage job because that's all I can do right now.
I take issue with people pretending that every american is a school shooter or a redneck. we are all just normal people. the violence you see on your headlines want to grab your attention with vitriol towards a country.
never solving the problem. if anything, making the issue worse. not better. it just separates the human issues and forces anger towards something that buys clicks.
where health care???!!!
Speaking as an American, 💩
