  • I’m sorry. What?

    My excuse? I live in France buddy, do you think it’s on me and my fellow compatriot wageslaves to protest our government in order to make them act against your government? We have our own struggles to contend with if you can believe it, and even if we had the time and energy, how is it our place to try to repair the shit show going on in your country. As to our leaders, the US has been trying to brazenly fuck us for the past year, almost on the daily now, don’t you think if they could do more to defend themselves they would?

    «As least as culpable» ? So, maybe more culpable? I don’t even know how to qualify that type of thinking. Again, it’s not my country, I only have to suffer the consequences of what’s going on there like the rest of the world. I guess, sorry there’s an ocean between us? My bad.

    Tut-tutting?

    The guy felt the need to apologise on behalf of the US. Except he doesn’t speak on behalf of the US. I appreciate they’re trying to be a good person but what am I supposed to do with it, is it supposed to make us feel better? Because to me it doesn’t. Thanks but it’s a meaningless gesture. Is it supposed to make them feel better? In which case, OK cool whatever. But I’m sorry my expressing a feeling of lassitude about American commentary adressed at us, Europeans and the reest of the world, upset you that much. I guess I’ll make sure to do better next time and put in efforts in my spare time to try help you fix your country for you?













  • Parents like this don’t see their children as people with their own growing autonomy, but as appendages of themselves or things they made, and as their self-perceived owners that it is their right and duty to act like fickle and punishing gods. There’s nothing to be done to please or appease them, not that anyone should anyway. I’m sorry for anyone who has to grown up like this and hope you get to rebuild for yourself a peaceful life surrounded with trustworthy people.




  • I get why you don’t find it funny, with how dramatic things quickly got since the start of this second term shitshow, I never felt like laughing once. But I don’t feel any amount of sadness or compassion for these morons. You make a comparison with people getting scammed out of their life savings but it’s not the same thing at all.

    First it doesn’t just affect them, people in the entire world get to suffer for their selfish stupid decision: Canadians and Greenlanders get to be threatened with annexation, fishermen off the Venezuelan coast get to be double tap murdered by drones, Ukrainians get to live under the constant threat of withdrawal of support from the US unless they sell their country for parts, us Europeans get to be spat on by a so-called “ally”, Palestinian get to contend with an even more unhinged USA support of Israel and so on and so forth with the global economy, the environment, global disease prevention…So fuck them, the suffering they get is only a fraction of the suffering they unleashed in their country and the rest of the world.

    And second, unlike an actual scam they didn’t get confused within a few minutes time span without time to properly think. They had AT LEAST MONTHS, to think about this and research information for themselves, and when they didn’t do it, other people TRIED DESPERATELY to warn them and they didn’t listen, because in the end they were convinced to be smarter and didn’t want to look for answers or listen to the pleas of others.

    I remember a segment on national TV of my country where right before the election two women, one Democrat, one Trump voter were being interviewed. At the end they were asked what they would do if Trump won, and the Democrat woman, with some amount of anguish, said she would have to fight against feelings of despair because the consequences would be catastrophic. And the Trump voter with her fucking clipboard and condescending tone said that as a business owner she would go to work no matter what be an adult and not be “hysterical” and that voting for Trump was the rational thing to do for the economy and she hoped other people got to understand that as well instead of being “emotional”. I don’t really give a fuck to what happened to that woman or her business, but her and tens of millions like her forced all of us to live in a world made by their selfish stupidity and I say they don’t deserve any forgiveness for that.
