Why is it Americans still need to get taxed and drafted even outside their home nation. Nobody else does that

70 MILLION+ people voted directly against Trump. Those people don’t hate immigrants, fuck off You seem so proud of this. It’s actually so fucking funny. Who did you guys vote for. Genocide Joe’s little removed. Is that your democracy? Far right and slightly left of far right?

FYI, that’s more than the entire population of the UK. More people voted for Harris than reside in the entire United Kingdom.

California has ~40 million people alone. That’s one state.

Buddy I’m also south Asian. A people that constitutes a region almost 2 billion and has more cultural and ethnic diversity than all of north and south America and all of Europe combined. I live in Scotland and In my ethnic homeland. Just two of our cities have the population of California. You Americans are a genuine embarrassment of stupidity sometimes. Also 95% of USA is non native, even less attachment in the land. The real ones are those on reservation

I’m aware of the size of America buddy, most of the world bar America is good with geography, don’t project on me. But where am I wrong, most of your varied food isn’t yours, they come from Latino, Asian, African, Carribbean mixes. Again, all the people systematically persecuted and treated awfully in your nation from genuine hatred on side to lip service and maintaining the status quo on the other

No, a born Muslim. He had never been with friends with one. Dude was acted like old style republican. He worked really hard while in uni in America to pay off all his student debts while still studying so that when he did his masters in Scotland, his finances were clear. Didn’t like trump but hated Hillary. But didn’t vote for trump nor Biden

you can drive pretty much anywhere in the state of NJ, and be unable to swing a cat without hitting a world class pizza place, great Chinese food, amazing sushi, Mexican, Thai, etc. etc. Like quite literally the best pizza in the world.

The food you will find in a literal hole in the ground in Paterson fucking NJ is better than most of what you can find from South England to Edinburgh.

Is that it? Food, that isn’t even your food. Food of the immigrants your nation absolutely despises yet all your culture and reasons to come are for the immigrants like the African community, native American, amazing diverse food that wouldn’t exist without the immigrants.

I can’t deny, you definitely have more variation, but also the fastest and most obese nation on earth, so I’m good, id rather eat in Edinburgh where my healthcare is actually free. And every city looks different and unique, our roads and highways respect the nature and history of the nation and even do UK, isn’t that great, it’s a hell of a lot better than America (apart from the cold and rain(

So you want world peace or not?

It will take generations for the U.S. to earn credibility again, and I don’t expect that we’ll ever earn the same level of trust. We don’t deserve it. You’re right about that, except you will never earn any trust whatsoever only just go lower and lower until you have a real civil war to determine is if it’s a fascist nation or not

Chinese freedom of opinions and knowledge is some of the worst on the planet and xi jinping is riding off the coattails of Deng Zhao pings success in opening up china. There, now here’s another truth bomb, china sucks and treats it’s citizens like robots but yet somehow I’d rather trust the historic super power which historically didn’t bother nobody outside of it’s little sphere unlike the current western superpowers who exploit the entire planet to make that “first world” experience for like 10% of humanity

Did you just really send me iqair with such a bold statement without even checking the link itself? DUDE, JERUSALEM AMD SOFIA IN BULGARIA ARE MORE POLLUTED THAN SHANGHAI. For a nation of 1.4x thats seriously impressive. None of their cities crack top 5.

Wisdom is chasing you, but you are faster Barely any of your sources account for recent data, and focuses on the time during the most rapid transformation of a massive civilization in human history

And again, they still per person use significantly lesss co2 than an America, what about that?

“due to non existent environmental standards” buddy unless your from rural northern Europe or the mountains in the Himalayan wtf are you talking about. Compared to America, china is much much less polluted per person with people personally accounting for less than the average American or westerner.

Okay dude, whatever you say. You can take your anger out on me, but you’re proving you clearly were projecting your own issues and you need therapy. I hope you work through your issues dude, but your experience aren’t the same as op over here. You’re sister sounds truly awful and I hope you know it isn’t your fault

Well said, in my personal opinion we should stick close to family but there are lines, and each person’s lines are different, but I feel generally that line should be for their actions and not their ideas or thoughts. Being a trump supporter Vs a Jan 6 rioter or a proud boy are different levels to me. We should try to change our families mind to an extent, if they can’t or won’t change or if you’re not a great debater. Honestly unless your family hurts others, I can keep it together.

You’re kinda making it clear your projecting your own family issues onto op as my original comment to you. I have a psycho sister too, thing is, there’s a difference between differences in thought and being a literal fucking psycho, psycho is sending is shattering the family at the drop of the hat because you feel slighted, thinking Elon is the coolest dude ever (he isn’t) isn’t the same level, things aren’t black and white.

OP, unless you’re in therapy and Shezzgrad is your licensed professional help, then ignore their advice.

When I said it originally I was being a dick, but I think you may want to genuinely consider therapy, family traumas can be everlasting and can really kick in later on in adulthood, your sister experience sounds similar to mine

No offence but this is advice of a traumatized child. This is not how families should be and if this is yours, you need genuine therapy, definetly not giving others advice on family. Op do not listen to this

Yeah, OP needs to grow some balls and toughen the fuck up over differing opinions especially to your siblings weddings. You’re letting politics and hypotheticals destory your relationship. I’m not saying you have to agree with him, but you should be able to be mature enough to leave politics, religion when around family.

Pretty fair to say, I’d rather be Chinese then American. With a population of 1.4 billion they have less prisoners than America, the nation isn’t infested by corporate control and you talk about not having governments breathing down you for 24/7 but forget meta, Google are actively harvesting your data and you’re fully tapped by us governmental organisation. You’ve been propagandised about freedom, you have less freedom than a poor rural Chinese who is probably state subsidized

Russia is threatening europe again

You can’t really be this dense.

Also denuclearise them and split that country up. We’re fed up with kremlin shenanigans.

Nothing in this world would change much. Denuclearise america and split it up, the world would a much better and more equal place. Maybe the split up countries might spend their immense exploited wealth on their citizens for once and you guys can become the Norway of America.

Fuck Putin sure, remove him and some eastern European nations can feel safe, but fuck the entirety of the united states, not one dude, the entire nations system of governance. USA has done more damage to the world than china, Russia, post ww2 Britian and France combined

I hope the world never forgets this, I never will, nor will I let the next generation. We are propagandised all throughout school about ww2 and the holocaust. So wtf is this???

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Before I fully started using Lemmy maybe a month ago, Instagram and my former safe haven Reddit become absolutely toxic. I go from one to another and it’s always people being blown up and comments saying most racist shit ever. People being racist misogynistic and other bs all the time (which can be funny in certain circumstances but not these one) So far I love the Lemmy community I’ve had some actual thought provoking conversation I’ve not had since early Reddit. I pray to get Lemmy never changes to to much in that regard
