    “In the United States of America”.

    The birthplace of freedom and democracy. The beacon of light and justice in the world. So strange that it is happening over there. Who could have seen this coming?

    One could expect this to happen anywhere, but in the United States of America? No way.

      Even the American left has had their national exceptionalism so deeply ingrained that they cant stop screaming “We’re number 1!” while they are drowning.

      Thats why they were the perfect mark. The idea that it could happen to them was so preposterous.

      I really prefer when people write “/s” for sarcasm. With Poe’s Law and all it is virtually impossible to distinguish sarcasm on the written internet.

        I know, I usually do.

        But with this I thought it was laid on thick enough so the people who read it as sarcasm read it as sarcasm and the people who don’t deserve to live in confusion.

      If memory weren’t so tattered, people wouldn’t be repeating history, though.

      My wife. She’s hopeless at remembering an address. She can remember every time I forgot to refill the toilet paper though.

      They don’t care, they’ll just say whomever they deported were MS13 members engaging in “violent pedophilia”.

      I was listening to an interview of a progressive in my country. And based from his observation, he mentioned many politicians just don’t care. Like, really don’t care.

      There is a reason as to why politics is said to be where psychopaths coverge, because they want positions of power for power’s sake. So that explains why many politicians really don’t care.

        When you have majority of funding through corporations, why will the politicians care about people? If people start lobbying and competing for money, the politicians will start caring

          Legal bribery aka lobbying needs to be taken out of politics. Money shouldn’t be involved but it is unfortunately. Even the most ‘sacred’ position is now head by a literal businessman

          Well yeah. Who else could you possibly be talking about? Nobody is ruining their own country, that screenshot is about people in a warzone being invaded, not people who are intentionally harming themselves.

              You blame victims of genocide for their own oppression, and now you’re accusing me of being a bot. This is projection, as you have no humanity yourself.

                  ICE doesn’t have a city, they are not people but a legal entity. The individual people who joined ICE are traitors and are thus not American. ICE cannot destroy “their own city.” That doesn’t make any sense.

    I know this is meant to refer to eating the paper but what if someone ate the food. Like munching on celery while ICE pulls you out your window.

      Lmfao I thought they meant eat the food jfc I am dumb. The worst part is, i’ve seen this tweet before, and I understood what it meant the first time. Pregnancy brain.

      This time. I figured neighborhood must be an app like uber eats, and they’re saying just act like the food is for yourself.
