Ladies and gentlemen’s this is precisely why the United States has become an absolute joke to rest of the world. Every time a trash can gets set on fire, half the country’s morons side with the state and their minions screwing them over. They clutch their pearls about the destruction of property, while innocent people are killed at home and children are bombed abroad. Because a burning dumpster is more offensive than a U.S. missile annihilating a bunch of school children in Minab. They “protest” for symbolics, slap a Ukrainian flag on their Facebook profile, “vote”’ every few years, pat themselves on the back for “defending democracy” and call it a day. But when was the last time Americans mobilized en masse against endless wars, organized sustained general strikes, or seriously challenged the corporations bleeding them dry? It’s like they love to pretend they’re not getting brutally screwed as their rights are taken away, their pay hasn’t budged in years and they can’t buy homes or retire. What do they do? They just bend over and take it. Give me more daddy! Why? Because they’ve never seen bombs rain down on their neighborhoods, have no idea what the word sanctions means, can’t imagine a life without Uber Eats, Amazon Prime, or their favorite streaming subscription. They don’t care and they’ll scream bloody murder over gas prices but couldn’t point to Iran on a map, much less explain why our government keeps threatening it. It’s a society of politically conditioned, insulated adult children, who have been taught to fear disruption more than exploitation, that the moment there’s a problem breaks out into looting, not united organizing capable of changing anything. Amid this idiot’s arrogant finger-wagging over France’s protests, they’ve failed to realize they don’t have a fraction of the guts the French have, nor their long history of confronting power. Which is what makes this pathetic attempt at a flex a hilarious self-own. And when it actually does happen, when a bunch of flaccid dicks aren’t the majority of our population, it’s going to be a disaster. But perhaps that’s exactly what’s needed to get these people to grow a spine. Right now they’re just limp, lying flat, taking the abuse and calling it freedom.
