Life in America:

You're born. They start poisoning you, robbing you, and lying to you, and then you die. And a small group of people get filthy rich in the process.

It's a Death Economy.

We must end the Death Economy and build a Life Economy.

The American Dream is a nightmare.

Pope St. John Paul II had a name for this almost 30 years ago: “culture of death.”

I truly hate that I can’t argue with this.

More like: life in every contry of the world

I think you forgot to jump in a cold lake, stay up late watching heavens whirl above, have a cup of tea, fall in love, teach a child to whittle, and take a walk in the rain.

Life is only a slow roll to death if your calculus matches your over Lord's. Wealth and power they can control and all who toil for it, but Love and Life they cannot touch nor the souls who take joy in it.

Beautifully said 🫂

If by America you mean the USA, I can tell you that at least you get a taste of what basic freedom is: the right to travel freely for example. Worrying about a broken system is a human sign, everyone wants to improve. But don't think it's quite different for the rest of the world, we have the same broken systems, plus a lot of basic problems that you'd find hard to believe.

Agreed 🤝

That is also life in Australia. We have higher taxes than the US and the government has completely ruined the affordability of housing. I worry for my kids however every generation says this and nothing changes.

"this time will be different"...famous last words

Welcome. 🙏

This is true. Although if you live in central Africa you just get pulled into wars you don’t want to be in, at 14 years old

Very sad. All the more reason for USA to get it's act together. Our empire detracts from people's freedoms all over the world.

There’s definitely parts worth living too in the middle of all that!

Couldn't agree more. Lots of beautiful good times.

Boo hoo

Same for the majority of the world (but less of the poisoning aspect; America's diet and medical scenes are obscene).

Except for a few countries with high government integrity e.g. Singapore, but even that is under a noticeable amount of stress nowadays with immigration and other social issues.

damn.

So why you have immigrants problem then?

The government wants more people to parasite off of.

😁

economy of hope > economy of nihilism and despair

To be fair it's better than most countries.

While I've never lived in another country for too long, I don't disagree

I highly recommend living in other countries and then tell us what your assessment is.

Same in Europe!

Who are "They"? Check out my sources here:

You failed to mention, they screw you the entire way.

Someone please make a meme with a robbed american in a two-bedroom apartment and a happy russian with a toilet outside.

THE USA IS AN OCCUPIED STATE

Tax cattle

"They start poisoning you". Could you please elaborate?

Regarding the other items, I think they happen for all countries across the world, not only in the US.

The food and the pharmaceuticals are poisonous.

Free tech gives us a fighting chance 💯

You think this is just in America?

I don't, just sticking to what I know about my home country

I like that. There's not enough patriotism in the UK 🤝

END ~orgy of parties politics~ conventions

Freedom tech allows for the life economy to exist.

Onward!

I think that implies a lot more intent than is really there

systems self-reinforce according to baked in rules that are offer success to the successful even in the plant kingdom

True. Incentives drive behaviour.
