    The key takeaway from America should be to stop right wing ideology at all costs before it spirals into your own private hellscape of secret police and public kidnappings

    Idiots worldwide thinking stupidity only exists in America. Read the news. Fascism is rising in your country too.

      Most other countries don’t have the power to destroy the entire planet and the rise of far-right around the world is partly due to the influence and fear of Americans. I’m Canadian and because your pedo-fascist president is threatening to annex us, the only subject of the last campaign was how do we protect ourselves from these fascist idiots, the environment was not even discussed once. But obviously, I don’t expect Americans to agree on the fact they have an under-education problem that is a threat to humanity.

    It’s just that extremists have figured out how to game democracy, which is fundamentally flawed. It depends in the better angels of our nature.

    Yeah. And unfortunately it’s not just America. Here in Canada there’s a rising number of idiots that seem to be buying the American fascism idiocy. Fascist propaganda has compounded with internet media and has only gotten worse with American oligarchs controlling all of it. It’s so fucking effective, like I honestly don’t know what to do about it. Idk maybe it just seems worse here because I live in Alberta.

          When the topic of conservatism comes up, I like to ask (usually just to myself) “what are they actually conserving, anyway?”

          Because it sure doesn’t seem to be the environment, the future of humanity, or anything like that. Seems to me it’s much more about trying to push other people around and tell them how to behave and how to think…

        I don’t know man. People here are increasingly becoming fucking idiots. Giant corporations are fucking us from all sides and they’ve all become convinced it’s a leftist Chinese plot to turn us all into transgendered slaves.
