They declared theyre not foing to be helping us with disasters, though. So what the fuck is the point?
Just so they can invade our cities and kidnap our neighbors to die in the florida swamp?
If we need trade allies, mexico sounds pretty great. They actually make things there. We share language food and while not perfectly aligned on values, are far closer than the eastern neighbors, who loudly hate us-and it's rapidly becoming mutual.
Edit:Not that i would hold turning palo alto to a sheet of luminous glass against anyone on the planet.
Im not gonna shit on alabama+ga. Death to their government and the old confederates, but multiple civil rights movements have kicked off there; they're still fighting because enough of them stand with humanity. Florida is frustrating and annoying, but i think if all the fascists died tomorrow they'd be paragons of redneck virtue. Louisiana is drunk, they didn't mean to, too diverse to paint with a broad brush, and have you tasted the food? Mississippi is fucked, but they're fucked by poverty and the people who suffer largely aren't the ones ruining the rest of our shit; they need regime change. Etc etc.
Texas is uniquely free of virtue. They have money; they use it to fuck over the restbof us, then ask for ours when their total lack of education or infrastructure gets them in trouble. They have resources, they dont fuvking build anything but parking lots woth them. Theyre uniquely positioned to stand against climate change, but always seem to stand for it. They ruin their natural beauty, they spit on their diversity, they destroy the rest of our educational systems, they get us into bullshit wars while constantly showing their cowardice.
Texans are uniquely awful, uniquely free of virtue, and not human in any meaningful way.
Yeah. I get mississippi is fucked and most of the people who get fucked are poor and black and didnt ask for that. Louisiana is such a complicated mix, and besides, they were drunk; they didn't mean it. I get florida got owned by fascists (they just want to party, and Florida man sounds fun as hell if he keeps a safe distance), even alabama has showed it spine and the people's willingness to resist over and over again.
But texas... I just have no sympathy. These fucking moochers and looters who have the resources but refuse every trace of civilization no longer deserve our help. Theyre just goong to spend that money on guns and death squads and privatization that helps them fuck up like this again; at no point in their history as a US state have they been any better than this. Not another penny to these scum.
Edit: plus, they can make mexican food kinda suck. Do you have any idea how hard it is to use the right ingredients and make mexican food suck?
I don't even know how one would do that if there were a specific ice accent.
Maybe idk. If the loss of coordination from having their accents shot would save those kids. If it's at least 1:1 on kidnapped children rescued to martyrs?
What even happens when you shoot an accent? Do bullets make more sense than cum here? Genuine question. Does the accent die and yhey cant talk until they, i dunno, re-learn a new one? Or they have to switch to their racist caricature of an african american? Would that even do more than make them look stupid?
They have the money, bit have nwver built real infrastructure. Theyre orcs. Theyre just fucking orcs. If the solution isnt gun, they cant solve it.
