The facts are it's an oligopoly which is rapidly moving towards pairing this with totalitarianism. Propaganda is so pronounced today that finding actual news is a chore, and if shared it's labeled as "fake news". A study was recently published demonstrating political moves are made without any care for how it impacts the masses. It's tough to see the decline happen in real time while most deny it's occurrence. Most are too focused on owning others in the working class with alternative ideals.

But in the U.S., the natural beauty is phenomenal. Yet it's being traded to allow conglomerates to squeeze more profit out of dwindling resources. If something doesn't change the course soon, this answer potentially could land me in prison in the near future. Which is counter to what the country was supposedly established to prevent. It's rough in many aspects, yet not entirely hopeless, at least as of this moment.

Does no one understand the difference between a country and the continent where it is?

If you say “I’m going to America” pretty much everyone on the planet knows you mean “I’m going to the United States of America”. No one cares if someone uses the short hand of “I’m going to America”.

Debatable: if someone says that, pretty much everyone would think that such person is from US.

I hate it despite realizing what a good life I have because I was born here with a lucky set of circumstances (cis white male). But I love parts of it, like the Bay Area and Oakland and all the surrounding hiking spots. If we didn’t share it with lunatics I’d feel a lot better about it from a policy perspective.

I consider myself an Oregonian first and American second. Most of the country I can absolutely do without.

Oregon though...

Non-American here. You all keep making up the vilest "jokes" about French people. The sheer level of ignorance and disrespect deserves nothing but contempt and derision. And that's what you'll get from me and most of Europe.

Better learn to cope 😒.

No, but I like it more than China and Russia.

America is addicted to money however, and has a warped idea that working hard is somehow what life is about. But it's still not close to fascism and there is some accountability still.

Idk the Republicans seem to really want fascism.
