America has become a shithole 3rd world country thanks to MAGA

u/Sochi540 1d ago

Rural America has always been a third world country, but people still wanted to work there, now, not so much.

u/mainman879 20h ago

but people still wanted to work there, now, not so much.

As someone who has lived in Rural America for most of their life, not even this is true. The area I live in is extremely rural and for the past 50 years, our population, and the population of nearby towns has been decreasing on every 10 year census.

No one wants to live rurally they just say they do.

u/FrederickFrag1899 18h ago

I live in a pretty rural area and most of the people below 25 want to get the fuck out at literally any cost. There is nothing to do, there are no jobs where an individual can build wealth, the tech industry isn't here, construction ain't happening, there is no job where an individual can reasonably start a family. There is really little benefit to living in rural America, most sane people want to leave to live in a city or near a city.

u/tom-of-the-nora 17h ago

Or a somewhat populated location that doesn't include isolationist freaks.

The only people that actively want to live in a rural area are anti social freaks.

It's in rural areas where abuse can happen more often

So they were executing people publicly in the last 90 years? No, they weren't, think about what you're saying. America IS getting materially worse under MAGA. Abduction and deportation of hundreds of thousands of people without due process, unilateral global tariffs, president alone invading countries, etc., etc.

Trump didn't JUST remove the mask. He removed the mask and started grimacing.

u/Hot_Kaleidoscope_896 18h ago

Yes.. they were. Black people have been getting mass incarcerated since the US started. It's HOW it started. George Floyd. Emmett Till. Breanna Taylor. COUNTLESS others. Did we forget the US started with LITERAL CHATTEL SLAVERY and only ended Jim Crow 60 years ago?

2

u/_Svankensen_ 15h ago

Gulf war was televised. Extraordinary rendition is standard practice. Unilateral tariffs are as old as the US. President alone declaring wars that aren't called wars comes from the Korean War in 1950. There are previous examples that may qualify, but the Korean war is clear cut. BTW, Trump hasn't invaded. Blockade and bombing, yes, but no invasion.

The difference here is actually day and night, these two and several others mentioned were publicly executed by extreme force of ICE and/or police who were not held accountable at all. They should both be remembered and everyone in power should be held accountable.

Public execution for views is just adding gasoline to this already dumpster fire of a government. They are now trying to monetize executions.. and if this goes through how long before they start broadcasting executions of anyone who crosses the current regime?

u/abugghaus7 1d ago

I'm disappointed in the fact that in general... the vast majority of posts concerning ICE murders have these two people as their mascot. Their deaths are tragic... but they shouldn't the default mascots of the ant-ICE movement... include the many other non-white people murdered by ICE on American streets AND in Internment Camps.
.
ICE has murdered more non-white people than white. Gunned down, unarmed and not a threat to any ICE agent's person.
The murder of these two is just as bad... but as a white person myself... I see the glaring issue of how "white" takes the stage over any other race.
Just my opinion on the matter...

Good point if it works on those who ignored the murders. But most won't listen now either.

Like it or not, this is the next step in Fascism. It's a small, but very important step.

Before, the government could claim it was trying to fix the issue, or at least remain ignorant. Yes, anyone with a gun provided by the government could kill you without reason or repercussion, but that had to be the power tripping individual choosing to end someone's life.

Now it's official, in your face. They are making a big deal about going through the entire legal process and still arriving at the end goal of shooting you for everyone to see. There is a reason "They don't even bother to lie badly anymore" is a hard hitting line from Andor.
