I feel very sorry for the Americans, especially the workers. They educate them in ignorance in order to never question their political order…

EDIT: The tweet has been deleted, so I have posted the original video sourced from YouTube.

    As an American, please don’t feel sorry for us lol.

    Yes the people are dumb for reasons not entirely our fault. No, it doesn’t excuse our rampant racism and jingoism.

      I agree. We are set up to fail in many ways here in the USA. Most people are basically illiterate. Yet I’m still amazed at how most people behave and what they believe. ZERO intellectual curiosity in a vast majority of the population.

        lmao come on feeding people added sugar and unnecessary additives is not “heavily drugging” or even “drugging” at all

        Most cuisines are unhealthy af, even before capitalism tainted the food industry. People are biologically rewarded for eating tasty things and tasty things unfortunately, are generally unhealthy. We’re also not inherently rewarded OR knowledgeable about what’s healthy or not

          I agree with you. However, eating unhealthy can lead to having low amounts of energy, etc.

          But no, I don’t think they are like manically adding sedatives to all our food. Virtually everything here is based around profitability. Sugar and salt make almost everything taste better and are very cheap.

          I do sometimes wonder about SSRIs though. They don’t have much benefit and a ton of side effects🤔
