Yeah, no doubt, 'Murica is fucked xdddd, but at least you're still well off, all things considered. Take the entire population of the earth (really think about this). Then you will find yourself in the top 1%. What people fail to uderstand is that when the term "the top 1%" is mentioned, they actually mean the top 1% of the already top 1%.

Oh absolutely. Right now I'm sitting at my Computer, on the Internet, in an Air Conditioned Apartment that I pay for with a full time Job that I drive my Vehicle to (that pays me quite well) and I just ate some Ice Cream that I had in my Freezer. All of this requires Electricity that I have available 24/7, oh and I have a flush Toilet and running water on tap, even hot water on tap. Also I have like $5000 in the Bank atm.

The above puts me in the top 5% of Humanity for certain, just not sure if that's the top 1% but it may very well be. Now when Mericans yell "we are the 99%" I'd hope they understand what exactly they're saying, but I doubt the majority even care. It's the tagline of our time and you're not 'cool' if you don't support the 99% these days

America could be great if it wasn't for the few people in power corrupting everything.

Honestly, when the world views America and have opinions on America, they tend to forget that it's not the fault of the average American. Most americans are stand up people, issue is the fucked up system running the show.

Maybe a revolution is needed; and a restructure of the "Democraship" (democracy, dictatorship) that is currently implemented needs to occur.

To be fair though, America isn't that old of a nation, maybe it just needs time? *shrug*. One things for sure, the way things are structured over there right now; and the things that are going on directly in front of peoples eyes are mind boggling.

It's so funny dude, I literally sat in a discord with my IRL mate and asked him "Do you think I'm weird for appreciating hot water every time I take a shower?"

Sparked a funny little conversation about how much people take for granted these days. Especially our younger generation (I'm still somewhat part of that). Fresh water... by turning a nob. Are you fucking kidding me? Lol.

Think about the amount of energy it takes to run the internet in itself. Not even what you use. But just the internet. I think I read somewhere its like the combined energy of 8 nuclear powerplants. Unfathomable amount of energy poured into us playing World of Warcraft, essentially. Mind blowing to me.

Oh trust me we know, we just don't care (at least not the majority, and not enough) because there's too much to keep us purposely distracted. I think the only thing that could actually bring ALL Americans together to fight back against the bull shit in our Govt is if they actually dared to say "That's it, give up all your Guns". Say what you will about Merica and Guns, but taking them away is the one and maybe only thing that would certainly cause the Citizens to fight back, literally...

Anything else, and people are just like "meh, it's not effecting me so I don't care". And that's not even a joke, I literally hear that regularly from people I know.

The thing about that is, the only thing - literally - keeping the Government in some what of a "check", is the fact that the population is armed. So, as much as I think gun laws like that is silly and unnecessary (from the perspective of a Danish person), thank god for that.

Edit:
Also look at Venezuela, how much effort it takes to try and get rid of the people in power. It's actually insane.

germany least corrupt country in the world

You don't think it belongs in a top 10? If not why so? What other country would you fill in its place?

Don't just say "I can divide by zero too" that doesn't really contribute much of anything

 

[Selaya]

i have no idea as i haven't lived for extensive time in more than a handful of countries, but i can confidently say that germany would likely belong into the top 10 of the most corrupt countries in the world :^] (jk probably not)
i mean, after all it's the only country where corruption used to be tax-deductible
also

The eternal irony is: Most people know damn well the shit that's rolling out of Washington, the problem is they just don't care enough to do anything about it. There's a new iPhone to buy, a new GoT Season to watch, more Dancing with the Stars people to Vote for, etc.

Mainstream Media, at the behest of gigantic Corporations, who own our Govt and various Govt's around the World, are extraordinarily good at manipulating Humans for their benefit. Waking up isn't the issue, the willingness to make a change knowing it'll cause you personal hardship for a short > long time afterwards, that's the seemingly insurmountable obstacle we face in this time.

We are already involved with WW3, only it's not Nation against Nation this time around but instead it's those few in Power against the rest of Humanity.

Anyways, enough political agenda for me in one day. Especially on a twink forum xdd.
