Dont worry if you dont live in the USA the USA will come to you…
Or so the new native american saying goes.
I dream of the day that we make America a place that OP would like to visit.
Eh, pretty much all countries has their own problems not just America.
It doesnt matter, america affects every one on the planet.
Today? Yeah sure. Next year? The way things are going…
The US may affect the whole world less next year if everyone else works hard to find alternate markets, but it’s going to take longer than that for the rest of the world to totally detangle themselves from our mess.
Negatively. By stealing and hoarding resources? By destabilizing world politics? By driving and supporting war across the globe? Most earthlings are unaffected by these things directly. America is not that important.
The states is a 3rd world country man, been one for a while if it even is one
I’ve thought about moving out of America but global warming seems primed to kill us all by slowly pressuring us to death or near death without aliens coming down here to lay down the law in a way we can’t ignore. We’re all fucked, whether sooner or later. As much as I would want to live in Europe or Southeast Asia, I would feel about Russia or China like I did about Trump in 2022, that the peace is only temporary.
…lucky!
Meanwhile there’s those of us in the US
Whoa now! Can’t be chugging tariff-enriched coffee down like that.
Don’t worry, it’s Italian roast \s
Lmao this hits home, my caffeine intake has slowly been creeping up on me cause of my job and commute, I have like five or so double shot Americanos a day now.
Which still isn’t all that bad, like 650mg a day of caffeine. Above the FDA rec limit but lower than a lot of these people I see sucking down bangs all day
Bobby, if those kids could read, they’d be very upset.
I wouldn’t get too cozy over there. We’ll just end up bringing America to you :) Sleep soundly
I’m not sure I get it, is the joke colonialism?
America’s best export is suffering. Right now we call them tarrifs.
Thanks to closing down USAid, we gave up soft power.
A coalition of the willing, ready to make the world safe for Democracy, like 80 years ago.
Swap the beaches of Normandy for Chesapeake Bay.
Sleep in a house you own? Can’t relate
It’s all fun and games watching the crazy people do crazy things across the pond until you remember the crazy people have nukes and the biggest idiot of them all has the launch codes. Sleep well tonight!
As if Europe didn’t have one demented moron routinely threatening everyone with nukes for years now. 🌚
The funny thing is that statistically, there’s a 43% chance that you’re living in one of the other 8 countries with nuclear warheads lol.
Try sleeping just north of them.
(edit: also the “launch codes” for most of the time they existed where just set to all zeros.)
How I sleep knowing that 90% of my genuine reddit opinions result in fire that can melt steel beams in world trade center.
Meanwhile my mere presence at the holy sites of Jerusalem or even in means of transportation has similar effect. Honestly maybe I would trade this talent away for something more useful because no-one even wants to pay me for it.
It takes zero conscious effort on my part too. So I would be getting some good passive income like this. If you want someone pissed off hire me and I will push all the right buttons
The fuck does this word salad mean?
I think its a bot. Been seeing more posts that look like llms trying to comment but failing
He got lost from one of those schizo Reddit subs.
See? I am fucking perfect at this
Sir sir, this is a Wendy’s.
Right now, wherever you are, there are people paid by the USA trying their best to make your life worse in order to
- Align your country’s foreign policy closer to the goals to that of the USA
- Shape your economy so that American corporations can enrich themselves by extracting the maximum value out of your country.
So yeah, there is no escape from America. That’s the whole point of being the global hegemon.
Yeah but we still have free health care and strong unions/labour laws, so it’s not that bad
Yes. Trumps cabinet leveraged the German company SAP to adhere to their DEI agenda. Trumps ideological ilk connects with each other worldwide to share strategies and knowledge, which of course includes our AfD, which used to be pretty vocal about their support for Trump and has now become uncannily quiet about it.
I don’t think enough people noticed the Trump regime’s demands that EU destroy their own healthcare just so theirs could look, well, not better but less terrible by comparison.
This is not a joke. These people will absolutely do everything they can to rob the few nations on this Earth that manage to take care of their citizens to the point they’re all beholden to the same crime lord family.
Here only had public universities. Only. Well, until they found a hole in the rules of our Constitution and the first private universities are going to open this year.
I think this is a pretty good example of the aforementioned policy of the USA.
Yeah, do not even for a second entertain the notion that European companies wouldn’t love it if your health insurance were held hostage by your employment like it is in the USA.
The truth of the matter is European quality of life has been coasting on the gains made in the past by the blood and sweat of the unions and the concessions made by the governments to stave off the specter of communism. Billionaires in the US are seeing this slice of wealth and are coming for it via the populist right-wing parties in every country. If anyone can get this fact through the thick skull of anti-immigrant voters, let me know.
Yeah I’ve been in a few places around Europe, and it really seems that in Western Europe, labour movements made big gains in like the 1970s and neolib governments have been squandering that ever since, and we are nearing the point where it all turns fash.
Those were concessions to look good compared to communist countries. There is no need for a good impression anymore.
That’s one way to look at it, but I think it was more of the Reagan-Thatcher generation killing off the left and the rot set in. I wouldn’t discount the achievements of leftists as just concessions from capital. They don’t give an inch if they don’t have to.
They had to. If life in western Europe would have been worse than in eastern Europe, people would have elected communists.
The Trump administration is way too incompetent to actually achieve anything. They want that from the EU but they are also throwing away their own good cards to apply any pressure.
If the US pull out their NATO troops from Europe, have their statements leaked that they hate to help Europe, and impose insane tariffs on Europe no matter what, they have nothing to pressure Europe with.
European nations cancel F-35 orders and order Rafaele, Eurofighter, and Gripen instead and there is nothing the US can do about it now. It’s the same with healthcare. The US have nothing to pressure the EU with.
Mexican here, and absolutely. The USA is menacing with tariffs each month even with a treaty signed by the POTUS himself. Who, btw, has a boner for sending troops to “help” us combat drug cartels that are somehow related to the DEA, the CIA, the FBI, or the WTFK. Recently, they sent a green-beret warhawk as ambassador. The US embassy in Mexico is the biggest in the world and it had participated in magnicides and coups. So, yeah, the classic American state is dying, but its death will be an authentic superbowl of a shitshow.
Good thing Trump’s absolutely destroyed any kind of international leverage the United States had. That’s the one silver lining to all of this: The USA has been on a steady path to fascism for a while, accelerating under Republicans and slowing down under Democrats but never reversing. However, now that you’ve gone fully mask-off you did it under the leadership of an outright moron, who’s making it much harder for Americans to drag the rest of the world down with them.
The US is no longer the number 1. China is way ahead in global influence now.
Wait wait wait why this sounds like my country, I think I’m coocked
