He looks like he's taking a shit

The only wrong part of this meme is the implication that burgers would even try to not blame foreign meddling.

No you don't understand, it wasn't 80 years of fascist power consolidation and continual capitalist cannibalization since the 70s, It is all Putin manipulating social media causing the material conditions in the Global North. One thing is for sure, no one wrote a book in the nineteenth century describing this exactly.

You don't understand, the U.S. was sold to Russia in 2016, then it was reclaimed and thanklessly saved by our harm-reduction, lesser-evilism enjoyer (very wholesome), then it was hopelessly sold back again to Russia just recently..

It's also a problem in europe

Edit: people blaming immigrants, that is, not immigration itself

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

and blaming communism, despite the fact that there's no communism to be found in Europe

It's not like Musk was elected.

They don't even try.

Capitalism and First-past-the-post voting.

Capitalists hate competition.

Thanks Obama

One in particular from. South Africa

It’s not necessarily foreigners, but rather billionaires that are the problem. They bought off and corrupted government officials long ago, and directed them to perform heinous acts to line their pockets further. The rich have got to be stopped in order for things to get better. I’d prefer to simply tax them out of existence, but there are other means available…

The US was founded on slavery and genocide / conquest of hundreds of indigenous nations. It's rotten to the core.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah, and many of those founders were rich businessmen who didn’t want to pay taxes to the king of England. This is a human problem, not a national one.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, and many of those founders were rich businessmen who didn’t want to pay taxes to the king of England.

They were pissy that the king made it illegal to expand westward and exterminate all of the indigenous people. They were all "no, actually, the British Empire isn't evil enough. Let's make an even bigger and eviller empire than the [at the time] most evil empire on Earth."

This is a human problem, not a national one.

It is a national and class problem, not a human one. Human nature is a bs concept invented to sell the status quo.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

its an anglo nature problem for sure

George washington, franklin, jefferson, madison, all the founders were slave-owning colonizers who explicitly modelled their country after ancient Rome.

It's not a human problem, these were specifically evil people who did not share the same values as the people they murdered and enslaved.

Most countries were not founded in this way.

Swing and a miss.

Republicans do, but they blame them on the wrong foreigners. The foreigners causing most of the problems are Musk, Murdoch, Ramaswami, and a few others.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Republicans do

Democrats frequently blame all of the USs problems on Russians.

Musk, Murdoch, Ramaswami

All three are literally US citizens, and Ramaswamy was literally born in Ohio.

I see that American liberals are white nationalists now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I’m not a liberal. I just call the rot where I see it, and suggest it be cut out. Where’s Mario’s brother when you need him?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And here you are living the meme.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 day ago

Unfortunately. I’d love nothing more than to be able to move my family out of the US.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago

Lots of populist European parties are doing the same and are actually gaining votes by blaming everything on the immigrants.
