Welcome to the Land of the Free, here’s your bill.
Gawd I’m so tired.
Land of the fee, home of the slave 🇺🇸
Home of the Brave (we’re terrified of non-white, non-male, non-cis, and/or non-Christian people)
Cut the crap on the “civilized” world farce. If there was any decency the israeli onslaught would be punished. Instead these countries stand by them and do nothing.
Civilised doesn’t have to mean flawless. The US is still a horribly barbaric country, and the weapons Israel use to commit genocide come from the US.
Many of the countries in question don’t have a military presence that could dwarf the others, nor an army that would willingly fight larger enemies for those morals.
Obviously, I’m not including America in that statement.
You’re correct but there is much that can be done without military intervention. The least these nations could have done is a weapons embargo and sanctions. Many other diplomatic levers that can be used but aren’t.
Fuck the olympics. It’s an oppressive, leeching grift in service of nationalism, imperialism, capitalism, etc.
So it’s coming home?
Fuck the Olympics and fuck the American Nazis.
Come on come on carry on! This has potential. So it’s uncle… wotsisname? Uncle Scar? Uncle Sam? Uncle Scam? tricking Simba into going there right? What happens next? I’m intrigued
You’d think EU Simba wouldn’t need to be warned to not go towards fascism, but the way it’s been going lately…
The way it’s been going lately is that the US is the only country which chose Trump. Don’t worry about us, worry about yourself.
I mean, he wasn’t running anywhere else, so yeah. I do worry about other places, because while the US plunged head-first into fascism, far-right politicians are also gaining power all over the world. Just take care not to become like us!
The far right are not gaining anything. Le Pen got beaten in France, Farage got beaten in the UK, AfD got beaten in Germany. You’re on your own and we don’t like you.
That’s just the countries where it went not absolutely terribly. As someone who lives in the Netherlands I can absolutely tell you that we’re being ruled by a fascist, and people from Italy, Turkey, Serbia, Hungary and probably a bunch of other countries I missed can probably say the same about their country as well.
I’m expressing concern for other countries, and you’re being a jerk. Guess who’s acting more like an American here?
History is a circle, just like Alabama family trees…
Hmm perhaps
ciiircle historicaaaal… Just like in aaalabaamaaa… Faaamily treeees … I don’t know I’ve never been musically gifted
The Olympics may be interesting, but they won’t be happening in the United States.
The next American Olympics is scheduled for Summer 2028. America, and the world, will be a much different place by then. I expect that we will have an Olympics of mostly authoritarian nations, and no Democratic nations.
And there will be lots of ludicrous world records set, because they will fuck with the timings. These guys can’t do anything without cheating.
I don’t think the Olympics will happen at all in the United States in 2028.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we had a Nero situation happen at the next Olympics.
Oh and they are racist against lions ,even have stupid clubs for their hate
My cousin was an Olympic sprinter and that couldn’t make me give a fuck about the Olympics. Honestly it just seems like another thing to distract families so they have something to talk about. Also, the committee is basically run by the mob. Hard pass.
It’s one of the few things where most of the world fights without anybody dying. We need way more things like the Olympics to remind us we are all part of the same species sharing a collective space ship Earth.
I’m chilling in Mexico bruh
Ah yes, because Europe is not slowly turning alt-right.
Neigh, Monty Python.
A man of culture!
Britannia waives the rules.
And who are the sponsors that gladly endorse and fund the European alt-right? Why, it’s American billionaires, of course.
At least Germany is in the process of lynching AfD.
Don’t get your hopes up, even if they get banned their voters won’t suddenly disappear or change their minds. Troubling times are ahead of all of us, we’re sitting on a powderkeg and this time it’s not just the Balkans.
Yes, but at least they’re no longer legitimised. Their fascist party doesn’t have a platform to speak on. It is a limitation against them.
That’s true and I’m all for it but I’ve seen enough people who seem to believe that banning them would solve the biggest problems instantly.

“Civilized” is this context is a dog whistle for white. Anti-Arab and anti-indigenous beliefs are taking over both.
A few nights ago, I watched a classic film called “The Battle for Algiers”. The movie explored the French occupation of Algeria during the independence movement of the late 50s/early 60s.
And let me tell you, “civilized” France was doing some curiously unciviled shit by the end.
I love the Battle of Điện Biên Phủ. Don’t know if there’s a movie of it.
“These stupid primitives that we’ve denied sovereignty and exploited couldn’t possibly beat us with anti aircraft weapons!”
Fuck all colonizers. Fuck the U.S. for getting involved after the Vietnamese thoroughly said, “no, we want to rule ourselves.”
Don’t know if there’s a movie of it.
From the Wikipedia article:
The battle was a subject in the 1992 French film Dien Bien Phu written and directed by Pierre Schoendoerffer, who had been present at the battle as a war cameramen.
The beginning of the 1966 film Lost Command starring Anthony Quinn showed the battle towards its end. The film was adapted from the French novel Les Centurions written by French journalist and former soldier Jean Lartéguy.
I think you need to read the comic again.
It’s calling the USA (white) uncivilized, and everywhere else (mostly not white) civilized.Is it or did you just really want to use dog whistle in a sentence and rant about whites?
The meme implies everywhere except the US is civilized so you screaming about racism is likely just brain rot.
Ah yes, using white as a noun, the hallmark of a sane and reasonable person.
If you really think the US will struggle to host the olympics, it might be time to leave the basement once in a while.
Global sports events have never been hosted by governments with terrible human rights records right?
Checks History
No no no noooooo.
Mufasa then proceeds to murder an indigenous person and give a standing ovation to an SS veteran. Simba nods and sends ten billion more to Israel.
Just be careful guys…if it can happen here it can happen to you. Stay frosty out there.
Kick US media out of your country, use opensource software and you’ll be better off.
Don’t be afraid to just take US intellectual property.
It was acquired through exploitative neoliberal and neocolonial policy. “AI” is actually the peak manifestation of this.
Also, China does it (though in some cases consensually) and its gone fairly well for them.
Apparently China just came out and said they dont care about american copyrights so this might grow.
To be fair, its not like the West played by the rules during the colonial era so that’s understandable.
A number of US based companies have willingly given away IP in the past to access the market.
Fascists? Here? in europe? What gave you the idea that it could ever happen?
I think Europe had their time. They are nodding knowingly and pitifully at America at how hard it will be to climb out of it.
Nah, the right is on the raise in Europe too. The question is for how long and how far do they get.
With a lot of money from the US.
In some cases, but rich people are usually right wing as it justifies their wealth. Consequently they are classists. And racism is just another type of classism.
In other words, Europe has their own rich monsters.
Russia is worse then the US is, but the US is working on it. Both are helping out likeminded European groups. Musk was turning up at German and British facist party events for a reason.
So what you’re saying is that the UK needs a repeat of Cable Street to drive home that fascism isn’t welcome and drive out wannabe-Mosley.
Would be an option. Another really good one would be a reform of the election system. It is insane that Labour got 2/3 of the seats in parliament with only 1/3 of the votes. Even worse with Reform polling at about 1/3 of the votes right now.
…it’s harsh times
Are you kidding? Europe is trying it’s best to keep up with the USs sprint to the hard right.
The crisis of the 30’s was a factor and now we’re in the same position.
Dramatically worsened by the results of ‘there will be no more Nordstream’.
Not a peep from our EU leaders, just more bootlicking, crippling sanctions on ourselves and buying wildly expensive and polluting US fracking gas.
And billions more of their murder toys OC, what else are our pension and social welfare funds for?
