"to hate the country that put them where they are."

Yeah, mostly in debt and living in other people's basements and garages without any hope of having their own place or a wage that's worth a shit. So yeah, America is doing a pretty great job at making Americans hate America.

1970

We're in danger of producing an educated prolitariat. That's dynamite! We have to be selective on who we allow to go through (higher education)

• Roger Freeman, professor of economics and advisor to President Reagan

Denial of education will leave many perceiving violence as the only practical means of change.

This one for you Mr. Mayor.

where young people are: buried in debt, unable to afford literally anything or any type of life for themselves, unable to afford to have a family. no prospects or hopes and nothing to look forward to except work tomorrow for the rest of our lives. america is teaching us to hate america because the lie these bourgeois piggies sell us about america plainly does not align with our actual material reality and conditions

It's not a fantasy. They are living it.

The US is not a weak country, its not poor in terms of capital or resources, it is not small or isolated, and it is not incapable of innovation. Far from it, it's number two in most of these areas, number 1 at least in terms of capital. It is also a deeply unequal country that is unable to face down even one of its contradictions.

Latin America is a truly awesome place if you're already rich. And so is the USA.

We need universal healthcare. Our children are being radicalized by the private healthcare system. HELP REDUCE POLITICAL RADICALIZATION AND STOCASTIC TERRORISM, SUPPORT MEDICARE FOR ALL!!!!

The country that "put them where they are".

Where are they Mayor? Perpetual debt. Hopeless. No future except to be bleed dry by private crapital as their bodies break down and you suck every dime and then some so there is nothing to pass on or even survive your last years in dignity?

A world that hates us and is shutting the door to us because our leadership sanctions everyone that doesn't allow Wall Street to ravish their country or some crybaby billionaire can't save 5% on their portfoilio or we blow up the other half of the world.

A world where the USD is undergoing hyperinflation and you keep denying the reality?

A world where home ownership is now a joke even with advanced technical degrees.

Just

the country that put them where they are.

I agree, it’s America’s fault my life was ruined and I cannot wait to leave.

I hope dems lose new york just so maybe they understand how totally sick of their shit everybody is.

Literally, with dems like these who.needs republicans.

Most of the petite bourgeoisie does believe that America is great and that everyone should be thankful for the position they have in life.

So, no I don’t think it’s gaslighting, I think it’s propaganda from the ruling class and blissful ignorance from the people who think the middle class exists.

Nah I live near yuppies these days. It's like talking to an alien, they really think it's great here lol.

If you're from a well off family with a good job and not stuck in a debt cycle with no medical problems, mental or otherwise it probably feels fine.

You can like see the look in the eyes of the folks near me who have gone through the shit and the ones that were born into living in a decent area if you know what you're looking for.

Oh no! They're radicalized and we have to stop it? What are they saying?

Let's make them hate america more

Oh god if it hasn’t happened already, some liberal is going to argue that was brainwashed by the Russians into adjusting Thompson.

Sounds like they weren't humbled by things like high rent, an oversaturation of college degrees becoming decreasingly useful, no healthcare. There is very little to look forward to these days if you aren't wealthy.

No mayor, if that IS your real name... It's cause of the real life human beings who are dying on the street because people are so fucked up they'd rather have hundreds get murdered by the state by poverty than to provide actual social protections. but sure the big bad boogieman is soooo scary oh look out guys its the video games oooOO MAYOR

eric adams going for that trump pardon

It seems like being a Republican is a get out of jail free card.

Elon Musk had the sexual assaults and other legal troubles. All of a sudden he's a conservative.

Trump had huge debt and failing businesses and shady money laundering schemes and non payment of people he employees. Now he's a republican.

And now mayor Adams is going Republican too.

Yeah. That's the problem.

Conservaturds: Make America Great AGAIN (implying it was great when there was slavery, or segregation, or sharecropping, or whatever it is in the past that they venerate so much)

Liberals: America Is ALREADY Great! (implying no further progress is needed and that our settler colonial empire is basically an ideal society)

Nobody in power is willing to say America Has Always Been Shit
