    Lmao. Why do people still think the US in its pre Trump form was this great achievement? There was never anything unique or exceptional about the US. Trump was inevitable specifically because of how flawed the US is and was. The american people has never been interested in participating in democracy, it was always run by frauds and it was just a matter of time until someone figured out how to abuse that situation for something other than the typical shit that corporations have been abusing it for.

      Wrong. There was one thing truly exceptional about the USA: the best propaganda the world had ever seen. Certainly the most effective.

        It was always crazy to me when i met refugees who made it to Europe, that dreamed of eventually going to the US. This stupid myth that you can get stable work or even rich if you just work hard in the US has been believed for way too long.
