The European mind cannot comprehend this
Those of us who live in the civilised world absolutely understand
The question is how far you Americans will allow things to go?
You're already fucked, but your opiates of shitty TV, pissy beer, fast food and the satisfaction that you seem to enjoy when you see people who are really suffering seem to placate you
You don't care about the vulnerable, the marginilanised, the suffering because you think you're somehow going to dodge it, until it happens to you
Americans gauge their happiness by the misery of others
Sorry but you clearly don't understand because you make the same tired arguments that work for the rest of the world where things aren't a nightmare but make no sense in the context of how life in the US specifically works, both due to absolutely zero social safety nets whatsoever and the fact that we can't all just hop on a train and be at the capital in a few hours for the equivalent of €20 or whatever
Then you've gotten so used to the meme of being the super smart enlightened non American educating the stupid fat lazy hamburgers that you ignore the countless times it is explained to you because no actually you are the smart one who knows everything better than us so clearly we are just wrong and stupid because you are correct and enlightened
