  • Lmao @ the Americans getting all uncomfortable trying to weasel out of this

    Yeah bullshit it’s “not mandatory,” how can you have such a basic denial of reality?

    Totally optional, that’s why every time some kid understands and abstains, the teachers and other students bully them mercilessly, give them detention, suspension, expulsion, and it makes national news whenever someone actually tries.

    I bet joining the NSDAP was fucking optional too, don’t try to deny your christofascism that everyone just accepts because somehow it’s better when America does it




  • Chinese plants will make whatever the hell you need them to at your desired quality, as long as you meet the market price.

    There’s an incredible irony in Americans associating them with poor quality because the American capitalists ordering the goods decided to cheap out and cut corners lmao.




  • The cruelest part of late stage capitalism is that these immigrants would probably have enjoyed a better life back home.

    Sure many are refugees escaping violence or truly desperate conditions.

    But many are also normal-ass people that were sold the lie of the Western/American dream. People that struggle to learn English in adulthood (much harder than as a child), have no specialized degree or skill, and no family in the states.

    People that could have joined the normal working class at home with less debt, less stress, and less discrimination and led mostly normal lives in their own culture.

    Sure the Western consumer has nice electronics and Nike shoes, etc. But everyone seems to be in denial about the impending collapse of the entire economy and how dire the lives of the workers are right now.

    It’s going to be a rough century and it’s only getting started.
