Is the US alright? Fine? It's okay? Gooseboy returns when someone on /r/ContraPoints has the gall to say that things in the US "work pretty well".

It's over for high-standard-of-living-cels

Also, everyone always assumes that the U.S is this conservative outlier (at least in regards to social policy). Have these people been to South Asia or the Middle East? If you're to compare America to the world, compare it the entire world at least.

If we define “the rest of the world” as “only Western Europe”, then your whole argument falls apart. Checkmate fascist.

Even Eastern-Europe (looking at Poland) is quite conservative.

Yurop is both on the left and the right of burgerland. Left, because we have actual socialism and right wing because our politicians are significantly stronger on non national than even trump.

Bring up the Gypsies to an Euro and even the KKK will get flabbergasted.

The KKK would dream of having as much hate for black as we do for gypsies.

I think that it's just more acceptable to hate a race than it is to defend one. The more specialized your hate is, the more socially acceptable it is.

I.E: "I love the white race and think it is superior - SUPER RACIST"

I.E: "I hate blacks" - Regular racist. Can be laughed off.

I.E: "I hate black people following ghetto culture" - Half of the black community will nod

An actual insightfull post on my r/drama ? Out, out, OUT !

I mean hating people for their choices is just more satisfying than hating them for the group they belong to - appart from brits maybe.

implying Bongistanis are people

goddamit I knew I was on somewhat shallow ground. Hats off to you.

Whats wrong with gypsies? They have like parties and fancy dresses.

You'd change your mind after listening to the same accordion song played terribly every day, every time you're waiting for the bus.

They steal stuff, are hobos and in general look like poor people.

Gypsies are the one group I've seen everyone shit on.

in Czechia we enact socialist-lite policies not because of some wannabe noble notion of "egalitarianism" (nobody gives a fuck about that), we have socialist-lite policies because it's a good way to bribe the native mainly elderly populace to vote for you and nothing else, otherwise i bet our "fuck you i got mine" mentality is even more prominent than among burgers

In America we figured this out already in the 1960s: Have welfare programs but only for elderly people who feel like they're entitled to it.

in the eastern europe bribing the electorate a much finer art, they try to bribe everybody who they think needs to be bribed, not just boomers

Sound like we french aren't that different from you. It's nice to see.

Not to mention that workers in socialized industries have trash pay, that ton of government funded projects are conveniently built by politician's friends and family or that shitload of money is being wasted on dumb shit like "free lunches in schools".

But hey uneducated dumbasses will vote for whoever promises them more free shit.

Weirdly I read from some crazy Czech mathematician that ANO was like the super liberal SJW's. That dude was seriously insane though. I'm not even sure what ANO represents tbh. Also they're in coalition with the goddamn commies?

"super liberal SJW's" super liberal SJWs that are friendly with Victor Orban and even pledged they wouldn't invoke article 7 againts them under any circumstance?

our commies aren't like your Chapo millenial pro-revolution commies, they're a bunch of old authoritarians boomers that are nostalgic about the time when police was free to beat up long-haired protestors and it they tried to pass law that would allow the police to send you for one year in jail for saying bad things about our president, who loves Israel and is an anti-immigration sucdem

they even praise a billionare prime minister who has a history of fuckin' over workers lol

Europoors don't have socialism implemented in any nation, they have socialist parties and more welfare but in no nation have capital markets been removed.

succdem are still socialists, reeee

Socdems are literally pro-capital markets with a pants on head retarded name.

Still socialists, tho.

And if an argument still works including Western Europe, then you can just say something vague about "industrialized" or "advanced" countries.

Nonmayos aren't people unless approved by mayos though.

Also, everyone always assumes that the U.S is this conservative outlier (at least in regards to social policy).

Which is retarded, America is clearly one of the most socially left-wing countries in the world. There's almost no country in the world with such permissive abortion policies, and gay marriage was legalized there before Germany. What is so conservative about America exactly?

what's so conservative about America

The vocal conservative minority.

The vocal conservative minority.

the silent majority you mean

It's over for McGovern-cels

lmao i bet they all fancy themselves as some sort of rouge intellectual that sees through US propaganda.

Rouge as in red or do you mean rogue?

either makes sense in a way

"you sound very white very cis and very male"

Well fuck, checkmate Mr. 30%-of-the-adult-population-in-the USA. Dabbed on

I mean, so's ContraPoints.

As soon as you utter the words "I feel like a woman" you instantly lose all your privilege, your personality completely changes and you are no longer problematic.

Sure is interesting how a group of people who spend most of their waking lives aggregating and ranking the privileges they believe to be held by others have created an "out" identity lets them escape the machine being turned back on them.

Standard of living in the US is a dumb metric because the US has ridiculous income inequality. If you live in a place that matters like a major city on the east coast and you live comfortably then yeah things are great.

Go to Alabama and it’s basically a third world country and the incest genetically guarantees you have a lifespan of 5 years

Alabama incest memes

This was tired and stale way before any of us were born. 😴😴😴

As relevant today as it was then

yeah sure would love to be a rootless apartment dwelling bus rider in some shitty concrete jungle

People in Alabama have a higher median income than the UK. I am talking about pre-tax income here btw, the difference is even bigger after taxes. Alabamans are pretty well off by global standards.

SNL is conservative

They literally have a talentless actor do the cold opens perform drunk impressions of Drumpf. They literally had Kate McKinnon perform a sad song on the piano when Mommy lost.
