A gentle reminder that around 90 million registered voters DID NOT VOTE in 2024. 36% of the nation let this happen. I don't trust lazy, apathetic Americans either.

America is the most obvious expression of a European problem. Europeans calling out any other European nation.. including America is fuking hilarious. The only people who can really do such a thing are the Irish. And if you're doing it from the American continent? Well, that's peak hypocrisy

A nation that went around the world destroying every culture it could find and telling people to be more British.
Then when those people come to the British homeland, telling them to Fuck Off, they’re not British.
But hey. At least Britain is prosperous and happy and not at all fucked.

Americans are not a monolith. You spend most of your time complaining about racist idiots in the UK, a nation that has meted out a disproportionate amount of suffering to the rest of the world via colonialism and war, even to the present day, so why shouldn't we judge you equally monolithically?
