    As an American, yes we are a garbage people with garbage values, and we’re making the rest of the world worse trying to make actual societies like you as greedy as us. I wish I could do something to get us to stop, but our owner class is too fucking greedy, and here, they make all the rules.

    We are as antisocial, regressive, selfish, and willfully ignorant as you think we are and then some.

    I am ashamed to live here. We aren’t a society, we’re an exploitation farm.

        Their numbers are few, but they are defended by millions of pathetic, deluded temporarily embarrassed millionaires who believe kissing ass will let their peasant asses in the little country club one day despite the US being way down on the list for upward mobility in the developed world.

        A few of which have commented out of ignorance in this very post.

            I don’t feel like going to prison to maybe get one that the owners would then use their media empires to propagandize sympathy for the persecuted rich.

            It’s hard to understand the depth to which our small owner class has most of the American citizenry in a testicular vice. We lost the class war half a century ago here. We’ve lived in class occupation ever since. You might as well tell Winson Smith to eat Big Brother.

              A few knuckledraggers almost took down your entire government a few years ago and you’re saying it’s impossible.

              You lost because you stopped fighting, to win back whats been taken from you since the last time you fought, you need to fight again. There is no other alternative.

                I stopped fighting, because it became apparent most of the people are so deluded into playing the rigged con game, and so far into the sunk cost fallacy of it, that they’d rather fight me and the homeless victims of our society than their economic oppressors.

                Also those idiots threw a tantrum and ransacked some offices. They weren’t even attacking real power, they were attacking the well bribed middle managers that power pays off here.

                The Occupy Wall Street movement actually confronted power here, and accomplished nothing but ridicule by those we were trying to help as power shuffled us away.

                  Protesting doesn’t work.

                  There are 735 billionaires in the US, you can personally help reduce this number.

                  It doesn’t matter if you’re ridiculed, whats more important your ego or the world?
