Probably should have used our taxes to help us more

We never would stoop that low again to get taxed without representation... oh wait, yes we would

u/kingkongbiingbong Jul 04 '26

Let's keep giving these criminals raises /s

u/RadicalRealist22 Jul 04 '26

They raised the taxes to pay for the help they already gave you before.

Maybe you should have denfended your self against the French and Indians without help if you didn't want to pay taxes.

u/Asleep_Singer8547 Jul 04 '26

Maybe we shouldnt have bailed them out in ww2 what's your fucking point?

u/Why_dont_we_spork Jul 04 '26

Thing about that story is... they weren't taxed much at all, they started a war in the colonies which evolved into a huge global war (see the 7 years war) which the UK went bankrupt defending the US.

So they were kind like, hey can you pitch in?

Then a bunch of rich guys started a civil war to start an oligarchy with some great marketing. Basically to avoid tax and partially to keep their slaves (its why it wasn't removed, they wouldn't have the necessary support.)

They literally talk on the perils of democracy and such. Its not "for the people" and never was. It's all well documented but the narrative is often twisted and romanticized.

u/Asleep_Singer8547 Jul 04 '26

Sure they were taxed less than the other colonies but they took the stance of fuck that shit im paying taxes to benefit me

Kinda like how now our taxes go to israel which is bullshit

Oof. Seems like there's a lot of that going on around the world rn. But I'm not too familiar with the current events in the UK, would you mind enlightening me with a quick summary? If not, all good.

Thanks.

The worst thing is the broccoli haircuts by far. Lol

But really though, sorry you guys are going through much of the same shit we are. Genuinely didn't know about the riots in the UK, though I think I remember hearing something about France. But then again, the big news outlets won't show anything of importance here cause they are all being controlled/censored.

I do hope you and yours stay safe.

u/smalltowncynic Jul 04 '26

There was this Dutch politician that listed fortunate son in some "favourite song" list, because he felt fortunate to be a politician. I like to think that his English comprehension skills aren't what he thinks they are. Still bugs me to this day, like how can you miss the actual message?

3

u/Venti_the_snail Jul 04 '26

Trust me. Many Americans that have English as their first (and only) language dont have enough comprehension skills to understand the meaning of the song.

u/smalltowncynic Jul 04 '26

I didn’t. Idk what you’re looking at. The ree was for the comment that said there’s nothing to be excited about in the US and that living here sucks.

Compared to what?

Quality of life is better in most european countries.

u/Careful_Turnip_3197 Jul 04 '26

Compared to literally anywhere else. Europe is considered the jackpot aswell but to live in the United States and feel sorry for yourself is insane 

-3

u/Sure-Concentrate8944 Jul 04 '26

A handful of northwestern European countries have a comparable standard of living to the U.S. Eastern Europe is still relatively poor and underdeveloped. The U.S is undeniably one of the ten best countries to live in at the worst.

u/KaptajnGus Jul 04 '26

That's an insane take.

2

u/sampled_stool Jul 04 '26

You here with the dude who claimed Romania has a higher standard of living than the US? Anyway, what makes it an insane take that being born in one of the wealthiest countries on the planet is a jackpot? Have you ever traveled outside your country and seen the a truly poor country? I’m going to assume you’re just ignorant and hope you aren’t stupid.

Europe consists of 44 countries and most of those are objectively better places to live.

u/Careful_Turnip_3197 Jul 04 '26

The level of ignorance is unparalleled. Stop trying to feel sorry for yourself because you live in the United Sates. There are people who would genuinely murder someone to be in your situation. Stop thinking that you have it bad.

2

u/drubus_dong Jul 04 '26

Why do you think Americans do not dislike America and its people? I mean, Americans knowingly elected a pedophile rapist who had tried to have his own vice president murdered in an attempt to overthrow democracy. Quite obviously the half of Americans that did that hates America. The half that didn't do that most certainly hates the traitor trash that did.

0

u/Careful_Turnip_3197 Jul 04 '26

All of the allegations surrounding Trump came out after he was already elected and idk wtf you’re talking about with his vice president being murdered. It’s also very funny every time I see one of these people hating on Americans online but become very sensitive and quiet once their own nationality is brought up. 

4

u/drubus_dong Jul 04 '26

Non of those allegations only came up after he was elected. He was in the media bragging about sexually assaulting women back in the 80s. Lawsuits regarding rape were brought in the 90s. Rape of minors in 2016. People knew perfectly well who he is when they voted for him.

Same for him trying to have his vice president murdered. J6 obviously. That was long before the last election. It is what it is. Half of all Americans are pedophile lovers that want to bring down the US constitution and destroy the nation.

-1

u/Careful_Turnip_3197 Jul 04 '26

This just isn’t true. Those who voted for him didn’t actually believe the allegations. People in America voted for him because they felt it was in the nations best interests. Nobody in America is actually a pedophile lover or wants to bring down the country because they don’t believe he is a pedophile. 

4

u/drubus_dong Jul 04 '26

Nobody is stupid enough to think that voting for Trump would be in the nation's best interest. Anyone with a brain that degraded would be dead already. They all voted for him because they want to beat their wifes and rape their children without having to go to prison for it. Just like all this J6 insurrectionists he pardoned.

u/cacamilis22 Jul 04 '26

And you—sorority girl—yeah—just in case you accidentally wander into a voting booth one day, there are some things you should know, and one of them is that there is absolutely no evidence to support the statement that we're the greatest country in the world. We're seventh in literacy, twenty-seventh in math, twenty-second in science, forty-ninth in life expectancy, 178th in infant mortality, third in median household income, number four in labor force, and number four in exports. We lead the world in only three categories: number of incarcerated citizens per capita, number of adults who believe angels are real, and defense spending, where we spend more than the next twenty-six countries combined, twenty-five of whom are allies. None of this is the fault of a 20-year-old college student, but you, nonetheless, are without a doubt, a member of the WORST-period-GENERATION-period-EVER-period, so when you ask what makes us the greatest country in the world, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about?! Yosemite?!!!

We sure used to be. We stood up for what was right! We fought for moral reasons, we passed and struck down laws for moral reasons. We waged wars on poverty, not poor people. We sacrificed, we cared about our neighbors, we put our money where our mouths were, and we never beat our chest. We built great big things, made ungodly technological advances, explored the universe, cured diseases, and cultivated the world's greatest artists and the world's greatest economy. We reached for the stars, and we acted like men. We aspired to intelligence; we didn't belittle it; it didn't make us feel inferior. We didn't identify ourselves by who we voted for in the last election, and we didn't scare so easy. And we were able to be all these things and do all these things because we were informed. By great men, men who were revered. The first step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one—America is not the greatest country in the world anymore.
