    I’m not even American… I’m tired…

    Elon Musk rigged the election to let Trump win. Your democrats hate you.

    You are all a slave to Israel.

    Please… please… Please rise up and stomp out your corrupt politicians on the right and the (Democrats) slightly left right.

    Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Oscaio+Cortez and Mamdani are your freedom… Please… Australia is getting too right wing… Please show the world that socialism is the future.

      Rioting does not work in America because our cops have been armed with military grade weapons and are completely empowered to respond with violence at will. Peaceful resistance is what we’ve been doing and it is working. It’s just very very slow and impatient people are gonna be disappointed. Trump and his regime WANT rioting because it gives them the excuse. When your enemy wants you to react a certain way, you don’t give them that. So no, we won’t be rioting. General strike is a great idea and may be possible but peaceful resistance is our way and it’s 100% working. MAGA went from control of every part of our govt to now eating itself. We’re winning. No one said it would be easy or fast.

      I don’t think people realise how fucked we’ll be if Pauline wins…

      She literally didn’t even finish high school (or any type of post high school training), and has even less experience than trump. Even trump went to business school.

      It’s like literally picking the (likely) dumbest, least experienced person in the room to manage millions of people who are all likely better candidates… And, she’s just as narcissistic as him

          She was a useless self-interested asshole long before that.

          Gina likes her, because like Trump, she’s easy to bribe, and they both know they can help each other. They can also trust each other (like Trump and Epstein knew they could)

      I’m tired of hearing non-Americans tell us who we are, what we’re about, that we’re all slaves to Israel. It’s a fucking joke. America is the most diverse country on Earth with over 350 million people. Pull your head out of your ass. Your tiny homogenous country will never understand what America is.

      That being said fuck the billionaires and their cock sucking politicians and lobbyists. American politicians are the most loyal in the world. The problem is that their constituents are the billionaires and megacorps and not the American people.

            Enough of you do, and furthermore you keep speaking down to us, about the size of our nation or whatever to use your example above.

            I’m fucking tired of that. We have been such close allies to you arseholes, yet you speak to us like shit when called on your shit. Unlike Canadians whose arse you kiss because you know their threat is real.

            If I had my way we’d tear up the ANZUS pact and AUKUS because your government and your people, who continue to elect such horrible people, can’t be trusted.

            You seem kind of clueless

            Another one you lot go on with. Like I said we know more than you think we know. What we know is that you’re full of excuses you don’t offer other nations.

            If Americans are so tired of it, do something about it. Don’t find excuses either, because Republucan voters prove them wrong. You prove your excuses wrong. Excuses you don’t offer others yet expect us to not just consider but completely respect.

                Fuck the context, I’m replying to you this way because you shat on my country man and my country and I’m tired of it. There’s always context for you cunts isn’t there? Always context. Excuses. Sorry, reasons.

          Conservatism in the USA is built on the idea of consolidating power and respecting hierarchy. They want a king or a dictator, objectively evil.

          If you are trying to go for literal terminology. Fiscal conservatism would be progressive in practice. It is cheaper to provide universal healthcare than use 3rd parties. It is cheaper to have a public utility manage power, telecom, trains, and roads than to allow private industry to manage those. It is cheaper to simply not have a military than to have one. It is cheaper to bar pedophiles from government than suffer the effects of their blackmail.

          I understand being technically correct but it is more important to use terminology the people you are trying to help understand. In summary, if every conservative politician in the USA disappeared today the USA would immediately be in a better position.

    Product recalls happen all the time. Usually the manufacturers and distributors and retailers manage to get them out of the supply chain before they hit the shelves. That’s the system working as intended, and it does a really good job of keeping people safe.

    What we’re seeing here is that system breaking down because of the erosion of public trust. Because they don’t know they are getting truthful information, because they don’t know who or what to trust. Now when we hear about a product recall we don’t go “happy they caught it, I’m sure it will be fine”. We go “what else are they hiding”.

    And that Fucks everything up.

        This oft-repeated “fact” is straight up bullshit. Supermarket bread in Europe has more sugar than Subway bread. The article you linked points out that it is simply for the purposes of determining VAT.

          It’s at least restricted and banned in UK. Plus many more chemicals that are allowed in the US and not in Europe. So don’t preach US food safety to me.

          Shitting in the US is easy in regards to food safety and science:

          • European Union (EU): The EU follows the Precautionary Principle. This means that if there is scientific uncertainty about an ingredient’s safety, it can be banned or restricted until proven safe. This more cautious approach leads to stricter regulations on many additives.
          • United States (US): The US has a more reactive, proof-based system. Ingredients are typically allowed unless there is overwhelming evidence of harm.

          This difference explains why Europe has restricted or banned many more chemicals in food and cosmetics than the US.

          I know where I’ll buy my food and it’s not located in northern America.

            You realize corn syrup is bad because it’s cheap and overused to make food hyper palatable and not because it’s intrinsically bad right? It’s literally just as bad/good as cane sugar and the issue is over consumption.
