That’s not a society that is what Americans are subjected to. You seem to be genuinely unable to conceptualize what this is like. edit: and I hope you never have to

The people who have this kind of door usually do not own their own home or if they do own it, they live in a community where walls are shared between apartments and modifications require approval

Yes indeed, not uncommon, but they’re usually in narrow hallways, hard to bust through the wall into the apartment. I have only seen them on a suburban home once in a video

I saw a video of US police breaking down a house with an armored door but a regular glass window, they just busted throught the window, I can’t remember the context (someone famous)

Political extremists and bots, unfortunately there were a lot of sleeping crypto fascists that most people just brushed off as common assholes

I always feel like I’m having a stroke when I listen to him :(

Also no I’m not embarassed I have never had any delusions about social contract I know I’m basically here against my will

I cannot and will not discuss doing anything in my real life online with you, and you absolutely should not either, if you legitimately believe that we are discussing something of any legitimacy. You should not be expecting me to answer you.

I think that they’re expecting Republicans to feel shame for allowing their citizens to fall into such a state. It confused me as well because people who take fentanyl are usually very poor, fent is supposedly very strong and therefore more affordable I guess (I don’t take hard drugs, don’t really know). I think they’re expecting Trump to feel responsible for the fentanyl addicts because he blames China for it, and they assume he’s doing that because he cares about the fentanyl and not just because he’s being weird to China?

I think you’re basing your hatred on a misunderstanding of how American society works, coupled with a lack of understanding of power dynamics.

The poor and middle class are not to blame for our own oppression, even if it’s our responsibility to either make change or survive in bad circumstances.

Your choice of words, “The American system,” hints at a worldview that is fundamentally at odds with material reality, and it’s frankly a lot to unpack. You’re viewing me as a participant in “the American system,” but this is a basically non existent concept which exists in propaganda. Most Americans cannot and have not ever been able to meaningfully participate in politics in the way you’re probably alluding to. You’re in Europe, right? I might be basing my own assumptions on bullshit propaganda as well, but I find it hard to believe that you don’t entirely know what I’m talking about.

edit: I’m not trying to be shitty but phrase “the American system” reminds me of the corny Broadway musical where they made Alexander Hamilton Pureto Rican and handsome instead of white and gross looking

Well as an American, I think it’s weird that you’re blaming poor people (who mostly cannot vote) for the words and actions of Trump. If I can’t do anything about this, the kind of people who take this particular drug really can’t, seeing as they’re mostly homeless people and very poor people without documentation, in my experience. IDK if I know any weathy Republicans who take fentanyl, most of them can just afford cocaine.
