Mexico is really cashing in on the US’s failures

Luckily the common parliamentary system does seem more effective at slowing them down

Truly the majority don’t even realize they’re racist. They adamantly believe they’re not. They focus their hate on “illegals”, “thugs”, “welfare queens”, etc. When confronted by the fact that these are racist dog whistles they tend to get mad that you’d dare bring race into this and you’re the racist. They seem to actually believe that their beliefs transcend race.

It’s up to you to decide if you believe they are generally ignorant or wearing a mask. I tend to believe these people are ignorant based on my personal experiences. These people will have non-white “friends” (usually just acquaintances) or even have non-white family members that they do care for. But at the same time they’ll celebrate the death of a minority because they were a “thug” that deserved it. The cognitive disodence is amazing.

Truthfully we’ll see if these ignorant people are the majority or not shortly. The current administration is emboldening the racists so it’s only a matter of time before more go “mask off”

Congrats to the EU. With the destabilization of one of it’s largest allies it seems the most of the continent is uniting to make up the difference. Seems like Europe as a whole will dominate the next few decades

I think what truly did it in was having a black president. The casual racists got so mad that a black man was president they became hellbent on destroying the country.

It’s quite sad.

Greasing the wheels of oppression with an identified “other” group before turning it against the rest of the American populace

I don’t know, are we sure the Tesla didn’t spontaneously combust? They’re known to do that. Wouldn’t want a manufacturing error pinned on an innocent person…

It will take the world a while to move away from the US. It’s built itself as a relatively trusted, albeit flawed, nation to all the major western powers.

It’s sad to see the destruction of my country’s reputation, sadder to see 50% of the population take pride in it. I’d leave if I could

So far I’m liking lemmy more because there is a lot less per post. I find I’m enjoying each thread more fully. It’s like I’m not endless scrolling because I can’t. I’ve actually read more articles in the day since I’ve joined than in my last 3 months on reddit.

Dismissing a state’s right to sovereignty is the most anti-democratic thing I can think of.

Considering Ukraine is the only modern/western democracy to have been invaded for territorial conquest in about 80 years demonstrates the level of bullshit that you’re spouting.
