No one wants to be america. People want to be human beings that are able live as human beings. People don't want to be pawns to a machine that sucks humanity and souls from living bodies.

Americans don't even want to be American

[โ€“] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 6 points 12 hours ago

Am American, can confirm.

It's true. It feels like the only place on the planet that rewards being that ignorant and hateful lout at the party who thinks compassion is some type of gay sex.

This is so true, lol. And it's just like America to attach sex to everything little miniscule thing. If they weren't serious it would be comical.

Another thing. Sex/nudity is only okay in media. Anything goes when it's sold mainstream, but if you have kink... Bam! You automatically a pervert, and if your are gay, your a pedophile rapist pervert.

And what wild is they create these people they hate. These sexual deviances probably wouldn't happen if America wasn't so prudish in real life. There's such a a dissonance in terms of sexuality, nudity, media and reality.

Am American. Can confirm, would really like to be something else.

Same. Like, damn, I'm a queer leftist woman who takes an SSRI. This administration wants me in a camp for sure and I would happily change nationalities if it were possible. I'm rooting for the Canadians (and the rest of the world that isn't insane), except PP and his ilk.

...are you me?

Add being an anti-zionist Jew, and we could be twins.

Itโ€™s funny how mericans are always like โ€˜Iโ€™m 1/8th Irish and 2/3 Germanโ€™ as if they are a breed of dog

[โ€“] DonAntonioMagino@feddit.nl 1 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Do Canadians not do that? I'd have thought so considering Canada has had waves of settlers much like the US; but I've not met many Canadians, so I wouldn't know.

Itโ€™s not that people donโ€™t have mixed ancestry in other countries, itโ€™s that nobody mentions it or cares. Americans seem weirdly obsessed with it.

[โ€“] systemglitch@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Fucking A we do that, and why not? It's interesting to learn peoples ancestry. It'd be strange we didn't do that.

Better than being American?
