Meanwhile we have a president in the US who is continuing yet another illegal war.....is most certainly implicated in the Epstein files directly.....has activated military guard unites against the states consent.....still has guard units in DC.....is trying to force states to review their roles for voters the white house says are non citizens.....some states have complied, the list went form 16000 to 158 and then zero. He's literally involved in too much corruption to even list. Federal agents are still terrorizing our states, several American citizens have been killed. And we have yet another peaceful no kings protest and nothing changes. We have been protesting this administration for several years and it's only gotten worse. 1/3 of the country can't even be bothered to vote. 1/3 thinks bullying trans kids and abortion are worth voting for the fascist. And a decent chunk of the left refuses to vote for democrats because "both parties are the same"....we are a wildly stupid country.

"Illegal" war.

That would mean that there's a force out there that can enforce a "legal" war.

There is not

Therefore it is not "Illegal"

Nice try ccp.

You're right. America is far better at being stable than France. We have so many supposed problems that would cause the french to implode, yet we continue to be the most prosperous country on earth.

There isn’t a major metro area in the United States where the median income can buy the median home. Shut the fuck up.

Not everyone is entitled to houses in metro areas. The metro areas come about because they are sought out hubs of opportunity and growth. What on earth made you think the median person should be able to buy something specifically in the best places on earth to buy something?

The US has a high gdp and barely cracks the top ten in most measurements of standard of living. There are massive problems, yet your populace is so ignorant people lile you come online to defend the oligarch pedophiles that are actually prosperous

But the US also has the highest rate of personal wealth and disposable income in the World. They are affluent.

The fact that we put up with more shitty treatment from people in power than the French do isn't the boast you think it is

u/HelloYesThisIsFemale 2h ago

The fact that our society doesn't metaphorically kill itself at the slightest misfortune is a boast. Because it's not working out well for france at all. They're like a baby throwing their toys out of the pram and it's coming to bite them in the ass.

Every empire that has ever existed fell at one point.

So will this one.
