    It’s better to live in any other country, as long as it’s not America with its stupid president.

    Depends on where you live, tbf. I’m living in a worse shithole where I can’t get out.

      From Canada, this sounds especially ominous. We don’t have enough of a human population to fend off 300M Americans, so I think we need to focus our efforts on grizzly bear and wolf breeding programs.

        Nah, you don’t need to fend off 300M Americans, ‘only’ 60% of it, the other 40% will side with Trump even if he would literally and personally torch their houses lol.

    What if I live in the UK? It’s pretty fucking shit here, too. Only real positive is that the Green Party are absolutely surging now. I’ve been Green for years, but I think I chose the best year to finally try and become a councillor. I live in hope that there are enough people left in this country with enough sense to vote someone in who actually gives a crap about fixing some of our problems, and not creating potential global wars…

      Oh my God, no. “Great place to live if you want you all your neighbors to be frighteningly conservative, the closest store to be a 30 minute drive, and the nearest hospital to be an hour away and shutting down because their public funding got cut”.

        Better than Democrat cities. There you will wait 8 hours to be seen by the doctor, before getting scheduled 3 months out to see the specialist, go to your car with smashed out windows, cops that won’t do anything about it but still somehow managed to put a parking ticket on your car all while being surrounded by people that don’t see you or care your exist.

            It’s all American cities. Crime is terrible. My car was broken into multiple times when I lived in the city. A relative had two thugs crawl in her bathroom window.

          Meanwhile in whatever shithole you’re from: people have two teeth, zero education, and no future.

          But yeah, fox news is protecting you from parking tickets. Lmao. Chuds have the babiest of brains.

            Actually blue collar work like welding, plumbing, electrical, ect is safe from AI for the time being, while most of the city jobs are going to be replaced like accounting, tons of medical field jobs, customer service reps, middle management, delivery drivers, ect. Hope y’all are ready.

          I don’t love an abstract legal identity. I’m capable of being happy with institutions, the culture composed if the people living there, and adoring the natural splendor.
          Right now I’m actively angry at the institutions, a huge number of people have taken a sharp turn towards fascism, and I’ve got no problems with the forest still.
          Me and the forest are cool, and that’s part of why I’m mad at the institutions.

          I have no desire to live in the forest because, if nothing else, that’s not good for the forest. Then the people who opted to live there became insane, and decided to largely gut all of the institutions, and make it easier to destroy the forest.

          “I live in a state of natural splendor, and I’m willing to fight to let you cut it down, splash me with mercury , and blot out the sun with smoke because I don’t have healthcare and fuck you for asking. It’s the refugees who are the problem”.

    USA is the only nation that matters on this planet and probably in the universe.

    Every time you eat a pizza, listen to Led Zeppelin or go to church on a Sunday remember that America invented it.
