    Imagine thinking “this diaper full of shit best represents me - he’s got my vote”

    If that’s you, walk off a bridge today

      No, we mean literally. Do the world a favor and remove yourself from it

      I’m not American, but I suspect my critical thinking and general knowledge would be severely hindered, too, if I had no access to education, healthcare, unbiased information, and no free time for myself.

      It’s not the average Americans’ fault they were born and raised in a fascist empire that deliberately cripples their lives at all times.

      It’s not just the US either. In virtually all so-called democracies anywhere between 50 and 95 percent of votes goes to politicians, who are suspected, known, confirmed, or even previously convicted criminals.

      In my home country, on average about 60-70% of politicians’ statements are lies or manipulations, as analyzed by independent journalists. For the best ones it’s “only” around 20%. Much better than the rest, but they only get like 5% of votes anyway.
