Your expectations are too high. The States are screwed. Your government is corrupt, your police are biased (not all of em, whatever) and the people are just plain old fanatical. Your country will always find something to get violent aboot.

he will not divide us amirite? [spoiler]btw Shia is on his 5th attempt with that, not like it matters. 4chan found the thing a couple days ago, its only a matter of time before Pepe reclaims his property.[/spoiler]

We all must think of ourselves as Americans above all else. Not black, not white, not hispanic, just Americans.

I agree with you. First off, something must be done about Vandelay and his alts. He, along with several other users, are spreading the hatred throughout these forums.

Shhhhhhh! Stop it now. Don't you know? You're not supposed to go shining light in the dark places. It's all been sleight of hand ma frien. Misdirection. A hoodwink! For us, the american people it has simply come down to this; "divide and conquer." I can sum up exactly what you're saying in three words. And it's been around since the beginning. We've just forgotten... WE THE PEOPLE... That's it. That's what it comes right down to, at it's Core. It's not; We the Republicans. Or... We the Democrats. Or... We the conservatives. Or... We the liberals. Or... We the left. Or... We the right... Or. We the white, black, brown, red, yellow, green with pink polka dots whatever! You get it, right? We just forgot. It's "We the People." It's actually the first three words of our Constitution. And also the three biggest. Do you think possibly that the founding fathers intentionally wanted to create some significant symbolism by doing so? Maybe it's because they're at the very beginning, and they're so big, it's just easy to miss. That forest for the trees thing ya know? Or maybe a lot of us just don't know that those three words were intended to be the most important and most powerful words of our constitution. (No really. You can slap me with a Google on that one) Joseph Campbell once said; "Are you going to serve the state? Or is the state going to serve you?" "Is the system going to flatten you out and deny you your humanity, or are you going to be able to make use of the system to the attainment of human purposes?" "Man should not be in the service of society, society should be in the service of man. When man is in the service of society, you have a monster state, and that’s what is threatening the world at this minute." And so true to this very day... All one has to do is look at North Korea as the "perfect example." When we think of North Korea do we even think of it's people... or just one man? They're hardly an afterthought now are they, when you really stop and think about it. All this really has nothing to do with them. And it should have everything to do with them. A figurative and literal monster. The people's purpose is to serve the state... And look at America... I think most of us don't even have to ask the question. "Is the state serving us?" Most of us already inherently know the answer. Most of us as in; "We the People." Sooooo -- who is the state serving? Back to that sleight-of-hand thing. What hasn't changed since before Obama took office? Has the economy really ever gotten better? Are jobs and wages really any better? Are most of us still living paycheck-to-paycheck? We all know what has changed. We all hate each others guts now. That's the sleight of hand, that's the misdirection. That's where all our attention is firmly focused. Divide and conquer baby! Hey everybody! Look at Toto! He's pulling the curtain back. Who's The Wiz? What else hasn't changed? Who is the one person that has been in power since before Obama became president and is still in power to this very day and has been and is at the very center of making sure that absolutely nothing changes. EVER! He has done everything he possibly could to keep things exactly where they've been, and to this day, still are. And now, instead of saying we are not going to do it! He saying we can't get it done! Amazing! Masterful! One of the most successful politicians I've ever seen. He's beaten everybody hands down, most of all the American people. For years. Don't pay attention to his words! Look at his actions. Look at his results... Nothing changes. But he's not The Wiz... He only serves The Wiz... Those of you who have been looking in the dark places should know who I'm talking about. He serves other Masters. Not the American people. So what's the "one other thing" that hasn't changed since before Obama took office? Or let's look at the empirical evidence and take it all the way back to the early sixties. Republican, Democrat, green with pink polka dots, whatever, what hasn't changed that is verifiable fact for anyone that wants to make the effort to look? I'll give you a hint. John F. Kennedy spoke of them. https://youtu.be/RhkjYJAHCjM Where has all the money continued to flow for the last fifty or so years? What is the one subset of American people that have continued to increase their wealth exponentially, and are thriving to this very day beyond our wildest imaginations? The one thing that hasn't changed! Is this. It's verifiable fact. They're doing Fabulous! Life couldn't better! No really... Don't take my word for it, go verify it for yourself. Who's The Wi1%z? I'll leave you with this; "we the people." "Revolution isn't about tearing something down. It's about bringing something forth."

I may not function like a normal human being and lack an understanding of said normal humans, but even someone who overthinks everything to an alienating level like myself can say with certainty that this post is the truth. Don't even have to evaluate. We are going to destroy ourselves.

Didn't their mothers ever teach em not to play in the road?

They shouldn't walk in the middle of the road simple as that
