And Americans are rolling over and allowing this. My childhood and all those Hollywood movies actually made me believe Americans would fight. Instead they whimpered quietly.

"But people will die if we fight, we should just let them enslave the population in ~~death~~ labor camps instead!"

It's so pathetic, frogs in boiling water...

You're not fighting , are you? Sure is easy to tell other people to die, isn't it?

I live in Europe, Always have. Chances are, with what I've written on social media the last 10 years about Trump, I wouldn't even get into your country. Would either be turned around in the airport or arrested.

Speed running back the "good old days" where whites could say what they want without being called out.

[–] LePoisson@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I call people out but I'm also a white guy so I feel somewhat obliged to counteract all the cunts waving confederate flags and being racist bastards.
