You know. I would try to fight this as a statement if we did not put in our constitution that slavery is fine for prisoners.

The original document had the 3/5 compromise
Is there anything in the constitution about not making arbitrary laws to make any random person ultimately a criminal?
OMG guys americabad amirite
This could apply to any number of countries and it's getting kinda tedious. It's like a bunch of American teenagers just learned that their history books aren't telling the whole story and literally cannot stop talking about it. You hit college level history, congratulations, good for you champ.
Well yeah… in lots of ways.
Good in others, as an Australian who traveled there the average American is great. I just think you’ve been intentionally fragmented and manipulated. So there are large groups of people who want their country to change but cannot seem to find common ground and band together to strengthen those ideas.
Then you have such powerfully rich and crazy groups that seem to be able to rule the narrative
Had to check to make sure I wasn't on Reddit again.
I had to check too cause "americabadamirite" complaints are basically peak Reddit since the Digg migration and shortly after.
Before then, I feel like I remember it being a lot less defensive about people daring to...criticize America
There's a huge difference between "lol le dum fat burger chez merica" and commentary about the history of the country and the patterns, systems, and dark truths that made it what it is today. Is there any one element in this meme that you'd argue is false?
you mean the united military budget of 50 3 world countries
Or 10-11 top military leading countries in the world?

Obviously those things (except capitalism and some wars) are bad, but literally every country has a history of essentially the same thing.
Obviously all those things ~~(except capitalism and some wars)~~ are bad
Ftfy
The US has capitalism? Seems pretty regulated by people bought by corporations to me.
That's...capitalism. In a profit-seeking society, there's no greater profit than taking control of the society's government. There's no such thing as "crony capitalism" if that is what you are referring to. It's all a part of the game. Any sufficiently powerful company will eventually attempt to manipulate the law and regulations for their own gain.
The Soviet Union is basically what it would look like if a single corporation managed to completely take over society and push out all competition. That's why some people argue that it was a type of society known as "state capitalist", instead of communist, since they never actually did away with money, class, or hierarchy.
Another good example would be "Buy-N-Large" from the movie "Wall-E", although from reading the backstory on them, it seems like a more benevolent entity than we would expect from such a monopoly. Faced with declining profits from a failing economy and environment due to their grip on it, they implemented a system of universal income so that they could continue to have customers. They slowly became the world government and effectively operated as one.
