I was listening to CNBC and CNN on XM last night and good fucking grief Americans love the smell of their own shit. So many “we are the shining light of the world, the best democracy, what will the world do now?”
A lot of us will just keep living our free lives, you fucking assholes*.
(Them, not you, dear reader.)
@tewha just a couple days or so ago, i read from rami ismail (dutch/egyptian video game dev) that just now he realised when americans talk about freedom, a free society, rights, etc., more often than not they believe this ambition to be unique in the world – as if most other countries weren’t built on more or less the same general ideal, and weren’t about trying to realise that for their citizens.
that’s both a bit terrifying, and also explains a lot.
