That, or they’re college pseudointellectuals who have become so isolated from the world outside their campus and the surrounding neighborhood and are lied to so constantly about how the world works (as it’s an institution where ideas don’t have to be factual or practical in order to keep being taught) that they’ve been brainwashed into thinking those ideas are applicable to every current problem in existence and into always being contrarian and automatically disagreeing with everything the mainstream says.

Have you found that milk at the grocery store yet?
The second part I knew, but the first part I did not. Rest assured, I never let this happen, my parents always made sure I knew not to look at the sun
LMAO I’m dead
Our country is so big and heavily populated (and most of our many, many populated areas are overshadowed by a few really touristy places like New York, the Disney parks and Yellowstone National Park and Hawaii which isn’t even that American) and that you’ll rarely encounter someone from a country that uses the 24 hour system. Canada uses the 12-hour clock if I remember correctly from when I last went there, and I think Mexico does since we usually learn their dialect of Spanish in school (but I’m not sure, in all my spanish classes they taught us to say “son las ocho y media en la noche” for 8:30 PM, instead of “veinte y media horas” as I was taught when I studied in Spain for a semester)
I just go to coffee shops. I live in Seattle ffs (though I prefer the smaller and local shops, their food and coffee is more unique and tastes better, and they usually treat their employees way better than starbucks)
Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! tRump for prison 2023!
As a bi american, it always puzzles me when I see some of my fellow lgbtq americans unironically stan communism but then fail to name 3 things communist countries have done for us, getting mad whenever one of us praises America for even a second and losing their minds over the patriotic merchandise that seems to be really popular among the “G” as if it affects them. The US may not be perfect in terms of our rights (cough cough Florida) but it certainly beats life in the “red fascism” that inevitably ensues after their precious revolutions; such regimes wouldn’t and historically haven’t hesitated to mow us with a sickle and beat us with a hammer, throwing us in camps on day one. Cuba only legalized gay marriage recently in spite of communism because with Castro gone they’ve been getting more liberal and capitalistic- and is thus far the ONLY non-democracy to have done so. Onlyfans would get shut down for promoting capitalistic degeneracy, and our activists would be shipped off to Alaska for promoting frivolous sex; social conservatives would love it. Whereas over here, in the one country lgbtq commies hate above all others, look at the progress we’ve undeniably made- marriage rights since 2015, pride flags on every corner in most major cities, a considerably lower likelihood of our parents and friends giving a shit when we come out compared to just 20 years ago, etc.
“Polite russians and cheap wheat” Amen to that, I’m incredibly sick of those ruzzian nationalists on social media going on and on about how their country owns everything and everyone and about how my country America is the most depraved and evil place there is because 2 of our men who love each other can officially marry, live normal lives, and be themselves with a far lower risk of alienation from family and community here, and I’ve even had one so obsessed with me he subscribed to me on YouTube just so he can throw the usual predictable, childish tantrums over 2 colors in my profile picture there and spam the emoji “🇷🇺” and/or “something something ukronazisTM”, “Alaska was supposed to be a temporary lease!!” or “something something US imperialism something something DA GEYYYYYYYZ” in response to unrelated comments of mine that don’t even mention his precious war.
There are even some who celebrated the war crimes their regime’s fellow terrorists (tbc I mean Hamas, not the Palestinian people and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise) recently committed against civilians in Israel in the hopes that it killed those Russian Jews who “betrayed ze mazarland” by bolting for the country last year, knowing more than any other group that nothing good will or historically has come to their kind from life under another racist, expansionistic and extremely far-right dictator who outlaws pretty much everything.
Yes, and as an American college student who isn’t one of those mindless sheep with one of 2 oversimplistic views on the situation who believe everything they read off social media, are ignorant of what “from river to sea” actually implies because they saw this new meme on tiktok but can’t actually find either “the river” or “the sea” on a map, and seem to prevail on our campuses, I always dread the inevitable mention of the Gaza one at social gatherings because I know I’ll likely end up being called both an “antisemite” and an “apartheid sympathizer” in the same fucking argument for not unquestioningly selling my soul to either Team Israel or Team Palestine. 🙄
