Are you the USA? At this point I’m mostly indifferent to the suffering of US citizens though I do relish seeing the victims of leopards eating faces.

Also I wouldn’t be so quick to use the Great Barrier Reef as an example, as those mineral extracting corporations are why the CIA did their coup on Whitlam.

I'm a citizen of the USA because I was born here. I voted for Democrats every single election since I turned 18, the leopards didn't eat my face they slit my throat.

You're talking to someone that is currently suffering. I'm fucking trying to stave off poverty. What is wrong with you? The people of the United States are not an ambiguous block that represents a body politic, they're flesh and blood people.

So? You're a citizen but you are not the USA.

Without the USA's interference my country could have a sovreign wealth fund over double the size of Norways.

So I guess you could say I've been angry about the intereference with my country but now I'm laughing as the US tears itself apart. It feels like some small consolation prize for my country being robbed.

Not everything is about you, which I'm sure is just shocking because Americans always think they're the centre of the universe.

When the day comes when you're desperate and need help I hope people don't laugh in your face like you have done to me this day.

In my life I have been hungry, I have been homeless, and I have been sick without access to affordable healthcare. I'm now an old man that has to fight those evils again instead of saving for retirement. You're truly fortunate if that has never happened to you.

Have you ever considered not taking pleasure in the suffering of others?

Again it’s not about you.

You don’t even factor into it.

Try being less self centred.

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Of course I'm a factor into this, I'm part of America.

Try being less callous.

So you’re part of the problem and enjoying the rewards.

Try being less butthurt about it
