Well, you just outed yourself as a part of the problem

If you’re constantly being accused of being a creep, I’m going to go with the simple answer

You’re a creep

It’s amazing how I’ve never had this problem, and have many meaningful connections with all sorts of people

I don’t have your faith in the American people

I see that tragic poem of “first they came for” unfolding in real time

I see a nation who like you say, are beaten down

But I also see a society which celebrates being selfish, so I don’t think you’re capable of banding together, even when it’s obvious that you should (ie. a few decades ago when Regan was in power)

It doesn’t help that America is a deliberately stupid country

Land of the free

But only so far as it allows idiots to own firearms,

To kill children, not actually rise up against tyrants

Can’t hold a burger and a rifle at the same time, huh 'Murica?

It’s horrific, and my heart goes out to the people in the US who genuinely deserve better

Shouldn’t you be celebrating how the slaughter of children in schools means you’re free?

I’ll buy one when there’s another Trump keyring with the head removed by guillotine

Don’t lump decent booze-hounds like myself in with that worthless heap of shit

You’re giving alcoholics like me a bad image

The typical American is desperate, struggling, frightened and beaten into apathy

Unfortunately, they’re also incredibly poorly educated and ignorant.

What they’re taught in school is a sanitised and propagandised version of the world, where America is always the hero

When they are shown how civilised countries operate, the response is always “this is America, we don’t want that here, despite the fact that it’s demonstrably better for everyone in society”

Yep

Those who didn’t vote against it were perfectly happy to have it happen

They just want to claim a moral high ground that they don’t deserve

Stop sniffing your own farts and don’t look a gift horse in the mouth

Yep

Plenty of psychopaths and sociopaths amongst them

Lots of very bright people support the right wing of politics because they stand to personally gain

Being smart doesn’t mean that you’re ethical or capable of empathy

Still less stupid than “the bible says so!” when they clearly haven’t read it

Or anything…

Sure, but perhaps take solace that we’re less deliberately hateful and that stupidity isn’t celebrated as it is among the arch conservatives?

Some yank who hasn’t left their state, let alone understand how to apply for a passport

I disagree

The best, most fun meal of my life was in England

No, it’s not

Yanks like to shit on food from the UK, but that’s because they’re stupid and insecure

I’ve had amazing food all over the world, including the UK and US.

I’ve dined at Heston Blumenthal’s restaurants and been blown away, and eaten at Michelin started places in New York City that were hugely disappointing

The cheap shots from 'Muricans are only second in frequency to the shots killing children in their schools because they think owning firearms makes their dicks less shrivelled and pathetic because they cut the most sensitive part off

People are already dying because they’re rationing insulin

People are dying from perfectly treatable illnesses

People are dying of malnutrition

People are dying because of needless violence

People are dying at the hands of the law enforcement who are supposed to be protecting them

I think the people are so beaten down that they are utterly cowed, and will do nothing

America was never brave, it was always a bully, within and without.

This is deliberate

Keep people on the edge of ruin, and threaten their healthcare if they dare leave an exploitative employer

Slavery never went away in the US, it merely expanded to include more people and was rebranded as “the free market”, or “rugged individualism” or some bullshit
