People who say stuff like this rarely ever understand the issues they're complaining about. Not because they are unimportant issues, but because the people who understand them realize that they are all merely symptoms of the greater issue. They also fail to understand one simple fact about the modern age: western nations are no longer run by or for their people. The US is no exception.

We are not, everyone i have spoken with about this subject matter wants infrastructure repair, a great investment in sustainable power generation and food/housing for the homeless. Though we are currently powerless since our government and corporations have such a great deal of influence over our laws and the direction our country is heading in.

It is pretty much the same worldwide and many leaders are pro "one world gov", so the future looks grim for us all to say the least.

Hope there are not any "engineered disasters" in the works...

Christ, these are the most normie-tier political complaints complaints I've seen in awhile. Did you get these off of facebook or something?

That still does not explain the ignorance

Nice

.

You can't be this stupid

Our future!

So happy to be """"safe""""! LOL

Because building roads, producing energy and feeding the homeless ain't the job of the federal government you fucking retard.

>created isis
isis is islam remember kids
>blamed obama
obama put us in a new cold war in syria shit got bad
>nominated trump
now the problem with that is that he will get unfinished shit obama was supposed to do, before he got out of office that trump will have no way out of it being forced to bomb shit.

Implying that they are not one and the same = murica retard.

Please take note that not all Americans are like this. Most of the stuff here I agree with, but because I don't have 3 companies, I can't do shit. So, please, take note that Americans are the ones that actually have to put up with this shit.

Is that you, papap

The whole damn thing's rotten!

Trump will fix this

0/10

>government and corporations
Its easy to blame the government and corporations but what changes are you making in your life to make a difference eg - boycott large corporations and banks

Where did it say anything about the federal government?

i dont know why we did this why did we start all this war bull shit and put banks everywhere.

All great points...

Sad really.

Ah, yes. You little Jimbo can make a difference! Why look at the SJWs! Okay... the MRAs! Uh... Sup Forums?

No, you can't make a difference, not a wide scale anyways. Unless you already have a large enough movement and the charisma to do it, nothing will ever change.

The rest of the world does too because we are all under its thumb

Its a great demonstration of the power-structure in the country when the President tells the banks that they cant pay their officials & boards huge bonuses from the bailouts & stimulation packages, but they do it anyway without any repercussions.

...

I can deny or confirm this, but if it is true, that just makes it worse. Because not only do the people who just live there have to take it directly, but other countries can go 'Ya... ya, let's do that! This surely won't turn out horribly!'

Way ahead of the problem.

I boycotted them before there was an easily perceivable reason to do so, and I help everyone I can too.

Also I inform others on subjects which effect their lives.

Are you referring to the ignorance of the people who hold opinions akin to these images? Because these are the opinions most Americans hold and its a shame. These are all huge red herrings that divert attention from real issues. The divide between democrats and republicans for example, is a false one. The republicans are controlled opposition. All this complaining about the poor and hungry while failing to mention the demographic problem causing it. I doubt they would even know what hart celler is let alone the implications behind the fact that it only passed based on the assurance that the demographic makeup of the US would not be effected by it.

...

because war, weapons, and business make monies; while fixing roads, renewable energy developments, and the homeless just use money.

We did not.

The system we and our predecessors helped engineer became more corrupt over time and here we are watching a new worldwide totalitarian dictatorship arise.

ha ha ha good one

Seems this retard can't fucking read.

Nice too!

Magic my friend more of us need to do the same

And who does making money in the long run help not you but the already every rich

Not OP, but the fixing the things he posted would save money after the initial investment.

Why is every butt hurt country obsessed with us?

Because of this ass-clown.

several factions arising in fact.
smaller states will eventually unify a lot like the EU, an african republic, asian superpower (china, russia, india)
the americas+aussieland and a bunch of islands

Our country hasn't been by, of, or for its people since Teddy Roosevelt. Our government is compromised, and it's because democracy is too easy to exploit. Universal suffrage was one of the greatest mistakes in history and now our government is too far gone to be saved. It will probably come to violence sometime in the near fiture, because this system cannot sustain itself but it will hold onto power until its dying breath

I doubt it would matter as much as all of us actually demanding justice for the crimes which our 'leaders' have commuted in our names..

God give us the focus to enact judgement on these snakes!

>Universal suffrage
it's not universal, children, and foreigners can not vote..

What actually happened is slightly different.
Instead of eating at the same place he ate everyday within the building, he took his business associates out for food.
He also took out multiple policies. He didn't get double monies because of two planes, but instead because he had multiple insurance plans.
Even if you don't change this to fit that, there is one thing that you would like to know:
The towers were full of asbestos. It would have taken millions of dollars to renovate the towers. Instead, he let his towers be the target.
If you didn't know, the US needed a new reason to invade the middle east; which is why this all happened. We are still in a cold war with russia, but it is greatly toned down. We wanted troops in the middle east cock-blocking russia from all the delicious oil.

God no, I hope not.

No one wants that.

We need some semblance of law and order in the world.

they have to blame others for their problems instead of realizing that they are causing their own economic problems, because admitting that socialist regimes dont work would make them unhappy, so they are just gonna keep whining at the stronger capatilist countries for money and then insult them for feeding them

Because American policy's affects the world and they have corporations across the globe

Any country capable of fixing the big world problems alone is burdened by the responsibility of taking care of its idiot citizens. Those tiny European countries that are social paradises only function due to low populations in proportion to the number of top bracket corporations that are willing to pay very high taxes.

>best place on earth to live is either America or in small European county of your political flavor.
>Canada counts as europe
>japan is for weebs

YEAH! fuck Maine!

there's already far too much "law and order" in the world.
as it is now most people can find a place that suits their opinions and life views
by having a shitton of these stupid globalist super powers you're pretty being cucked by a stupidly over reaching and over bearing gobbermint anywhere you go

American here.
It's a cultural norm and has been for many decades to bully and ostricize intellectuals in the states. We taught ourselves to be retarded, and it became part of our media and thus here we are.

yeah. that's what i just said.
it would, but you also have to consider (and im not saying that this is absolute) that if we focus on something that would have a long term trickling benefit whilst backing away from immediate temporary benefit then we will be weak until we reap all the rewards.
it is sorta like if you and your neighbor are promised a knife right now or a gun tomorrow you could pick the knife, go stab your defenseless who chose the gun neighbor, and then take his gun when it arrives.

Universal suffrage is the accepted term for all adult citizens being able to vote. Children and foreigners don't need to be included for the term to be used correctly

True, but I meant that we need law and order in the traditional sense.

"I don't want to see the world turn into Africa" is what I meant.

Found the retard who points at others and calls them "returds"

Lmfao have fun riding that bliss train

The problem with your idea is not enough people do it all at once thus
>we are a nation divided

Cuz the rich politicians willed it so silly boy.

We are currently wasting money on really stupid things, that money could be invested more wisely.

Incremental steps towards betterment would be good, but we live in a nation led by crooks, so....

everyone who voted for trump has ground to sue him for fraud.
he made significant promises that he did not, and probably never planned to, keep.

i doubt anyone except gender study faggots would be aware of the lingo.
regardless being able to vote isn't the issue, the issue is your vote being meaningless by an over reaching central government which is trying to turn itself into a police state
what to say, what to think.
leave most matters on the state level where people and their votes make an actual difference

africa's booming and will continue to thrive and even surpass america... that's a loooong ways away though, ironically, considering all the natural resources and slave labour(sadly) still available on the continent. but eh that's what happens when you sell out i suppose

The big issue is everyone is being sincerely fucked by the higher eschalons of wealth in the world as we know it...

Lots of reasons, go read an actual history book.

You know what I mean, the waring micronations and general chaos.

Africa has great potential, but as you said that will take some time...

i'm so tired it looked like that homeless person was two fags eating each others faces'

>since Woodrow Wilson
though i somewhat agree

Centuries worth of old news

bcoz FDU syndrome

>You know what I mean, the waring micronations and general chaos.
it'll be like ukraine for most civilizaed nations, the more shitbag the country the longer/worse the revolts end up being (think egypt, or syria, libya, etc)

Universal suffrage is what gives them the power to do what they want, women are easier to influence than men, blacks and Hispanics are easier to influence than whites, deracinated whites are easier to influence than whites in a homogeneous high trust society.

which is why most individualized societies are needed
rather than larger more overbearing governments trying to control

the right for everyone to vote isn't as much an issue as the voter fraud

also fuck you in your elitist ass, your opinion isn't worth more than anyone elses nor should it be.
fucking faggot

Taft wasn't as horrible as wilson but I would exclude him from the good ones for good measure so I usually draw the line at Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson was disastrous

Oh yes, please do. Make sure to pay close attention to the chapter that includes WWII.

>implying killing sand niggers isn't a worthy cause

I'm a perfect world what would there be to sell /thread

Several things need to happen for America to become somewhat healthy:
Being a capitalist nation, corporations need to be accountable for their own operation and finances. If there is a bailout to ensure that the country doesn't crash, the corporations should essentially then belong to the government so that it can be more assured that the bailout money will be put to proper use.
Military spending needs to be cut. We spend too much. A 5% cut would be like 30 billion dollars that could be used for so many other things. One way to cut spending would be to buy things for how much they should really be worth. I have heard that the military gets totally ripped off on a lot of hardware that they buy, but I don't have the specifics.
I also think that the ultra rich should be greatly taxed. I know that they already have high taxes and they only take home like, 60% of what they make, but I think that if you are making millions of dollars the tax rate should be even higher. I think some sort of system that takes extra money from the ultra wealthy but puts a good percentage of that extra money into a local projects slush fund directed by a democratic committee with the surplus refundable at the end of the fiscal year would be good.
I'm trailing off here.

In not making claims about myself nor saying anything elitist, I simply recognize the reality that hierarchy exists for a reason and dismissing it for the sake of the fuzzy feeling you get from thinking everyone's equal is incredibly short sighted

This one always pisses me off at the lack of logic.

They aren't profiteering by hiding cures for cancer. If.they had a cure, they could charge a million dollars and people.would put several generations of descendants into debt to pay for it. The company that discovers the cure for cancer would be richer than Bill Gates.

Your country's role as the world's police has done quite enough for the rest of the world too

why yurop is so week and gay?

if you care so much, why dont you rise to power and fix it? hell, ill vote for some random dude from Sup Forums

>Trump is the cause of everything bad
are you retarded? The establishment of the FED precedes Trump by a century, the refugee crisis is due to Obama's intervention in the Middle East, and so forth. Fuck off

the refugee crisis is due to the refugees being pussies and letting their countries go to shit.

>implying voting could fix all of the implied problems
Here's a hint: it won't

>ISIS is 100% on obama
>housing bubble was created by bill. granted bush could have made it less bad but bill had the damn thing started and bushy just went with the flow

Ill give you the the other 2 though.

but blaming bush for ISIS is just pants on head retarded.

>Being a capitalist nation
>the corporations should essentially belong to the government

Socialism much?

>hierarchy exists
in their respective fields, claiming that holds sway over someones opinion though does not.
as you being on the top of that pecking order, should be fully capable of swaying their minds, otherwise you're lower on the hierarchy and your opinion is worthless.

If you know what cultural-Marxism means, you would know that the upper class has a monopoly of culture and media. With this control of our lives and psychology they distract us from these issues and send us to non-issues like SJWs and Trump's Russia emails. Besides, the world is split between factions, and the US is the main player of its Western-Arab faction.

>"lol stop being a pussy bro just stay and fix this XD"
Got any other retarded things to say? This is the work of US foreign policy

>Also I inform others on subjects which effect their lives.
What kinds of things do you inform others on? And what do you boycott specifically?

>bully and ostracization
Nothing normal about bully and ostracization!!!

Because wars and weapons make money for the 1% and if the 1% fucks up, they need bailed out.

The rest of us eat shit. The 1% are the only people in power in the west and ALL white people get blamed for their bullshit. I'm really sick of it too.
