‘Muricans once again acting out their own stereotype of their dissidents.

They would gladly live in a poorly run country for the sake of protecting their feelings. Yeah, nothing works and almost a quarter of the population is functionally unemployed….but at least white men get special treatment and everyone on YouTube says white men are special little snowflakes! And better yet, the porks the white men live vicariously through are squealing in delight that they have even more money! Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to claim that wanting to see privileged groups have less privileges is elitist, actually.
