askpencildoodle asked: Well, yeah, but surely you must have some ideas as an individual on what to change and how to change it? After all, criticism is easy, change is difficult.
Well, we can look to Finland’s educational system for example
And Sweden’s basic welfare
We can also stop looking at Religion as a guide to running a country and begin looking at humans as humans and not categorize them for color or preference.
Apparently netherlands has twelve major parties so that could be a good example of what congress could be.
kaiuchiha15 asked: I'm proud to be an American, Jitters. I love the idea of America (maybe not so much the country because of our government). But no matter who is president, I will defend my country from any threats, here or abroad. Because I care about the sacrifices the troops made. Because I care about those who went west to expand our territory. I truly believe this is a country who serves as one nation, under God. And you can call me brainwashed or ignorant (which I could say that same to you, but I won't.)
(cont) But you can’t stop my spirit, my passion, my respect, and my love for the United States of America.
In short, you care more about yourself and your pride as an American
Rather than caring about America itself and the people who live here
You don’t actually give a shit about America, because We The People is what America is supposed to be but the people aren’t what matter to you
No, instead, the most important thing is patriotism and the government and the soldiers
You had your humanity ripped away because you were taught to favor these things more than what it actually means to live and be human
You are essentially, a white cishet privileged American male robot.
This is the first time I actually agree with calling someone a white cishet as an insult because kai is acting the way that SJWs think everyone acts. Congratulations, kai. You are a stereotypical overprivileged prick.
askcryoflaremlp asked: Whoa. What's with all the America hate all of a sudden? If it's because of the whole Politics thing, then just don't pay attention to it. I sure don't... though, to be fair, it confuses me a lot of times and I find it boring.
“Don’t pay attention to the thing that’s ruined your life and left you in poverty with a mentally ill mother who doesn’t even get the right to live a normal life because of its system”
:/
Oh no, can’t hate America
That’s so unpatriotic
Just ignore the errors in the system of America that are hurting you and everyone because we can’t have you be unpatriotic.
Nope
/sarcasm/
Seriously though, Really dislike when people get all offended/frightened when people hate America… When their reasons for hating are very legitimate issues that seriously need to be addressed and fixed. Turning a blind eye will just dig our grave further until America falls too far for us to be able to fix things.
I feel like America love is like stockholm syndrome sometimes
I’m preeeettty sure it is. I mean think about it. All our lives we’ve been brainwashed to love America.
Throughout school from kindergarten and forward, we were all made to stand and say pledge allegiance to the flag every morning to the miniature American flags that hung in every classroom. We all know the words by heart.
We’re all told and made to believe that /anyone/ that hates America is a terrorist.
We’re all told and made to believe that it’s the /President/ that is the most important figure in the government that has the power over everything, especially with media boosting their election coverage to all hell. Only really finding out that Congress has MUCH more control when we get into highschool.
We all know at least one patriotic song by heart, word for word.
We have someone sing the song before every sports game.
:T
It’s pretty damn scary
And other countries look at us with pity and concern most of the time
One thing that really scared me was when someone drew a classroom and then someone not from america was asking why there is just a flag there.
That was really shocking to learn that we were the only country that does this shit. And then things begin to fall into place.

It is because we are conditioned to love it and see that it the system is always right and every other country is wrong at an early age. Why else would we be forced to pledge our allegiance to such a broken country every single day as we are force fed half truths that we call ‘history’
People always make Juliet out to be dumb in Romeo and Juliet, but I think she at least had some sense where Romeo didn't have much of any
Romeo:
I was thinking about this chick earlier who I said I was in love with but now I love that girl over there that is very likely to either belong to my family's enemy or be close with my family's enemy as it is their party I am crashing
Juliet:
I do not like being so young and forced into a relationship with an older man, but oh there's a cute guy more my age over there. And since he's here he must have been invited and is there for a reasonable love match for myself
--
Romeo:
We should kiss right now at this party
Juliet:
No that is a super dumb idea
Romeo:
*kisses her anyway*
Juliet:
That was dumb of you
--
Romeo:
We should get married right now
Juliet:
We don't know each other. Shouldn't we wait until at least a little time has passed?
Romeo:
Like tomorrow?
Juliet:
Sure, fine.
--
Juliet:
We're married now, so we have to try and make things better between our families.
Romeo:
Right.
Romeo:
It seems I have killed your cousin and am now exiled.
--
Juliet:
Ok so since Romeo fucked up I'm gonna fix this shit by taking a harmless sleeping liquid. He'll come and get me and we can go away together.
