Had nothing to do with any of that.
The comment is because the laziest, most generic thing you could have said was exactly what you said now. However you weren't an asshole to me, so I'll respond.
So my comment wasn't that America hadn't committed atrocities, we have. It's heartbreaking, and I have heritage heavily affected by those atrocities
You'll note I Mentioned hype. See that's really what it's all been. In fact. Every country has its share of atrocities( and every one should be stamped out and the perpetrators held accountable), but not all countries atrocities have been committed by the supposed " police" of the free world.
That impression of the United states is what I was referring to.
America was never greater than any other country. It was just billed so, and you know what? Many other countries bought into that, relying on us to a point they would sometimes cripple themselves military, but also causing the United states to feel fat, bloated complacent,and outsource many vital industries to other nations.
Much like "Animal Farm", the noble goals of our past have been sacrificed for the opulence and vices of the elite and rich who keep us down. The leaders of every country playing shell games with us
You want great again? America never was GREAT. We WERE doing well, moving forward, like many other countries with rich and varied histories. But Insidious men and women over the generations wormed their way into positions of leadership, as money tends to buy power , in all countries. And now every government is rife with them
It's isn't America that needs to be great again.
It's people that need to be. And until this orange lunatic is gone, the United States we have lost any claim to great.
So your take was bad. To me. We were never that great. But like all things,age steps in and we see that the old man may have looked good when we were young, but now that we've gone through things and now what to look for, we can tell that like all of us, he was just limping through life.
Now we have an interconnected world with separated people. .
So yes. IMHO ad take. But probably not for the reasons you thought
I initially said I wouldn't respond because I figured I'd get the replies I did, because people online don't pause and think, just insult.
You didn't though. Thank you for that. It's a sign that we can still talk through things.
That is an incredibly bad take. One so fundamentally poor, indeed obtuse, that this comment has to be filed under, " you've got to be fucking kidding me"
Don't expect a response from me. I won't waste time on stupidity.
Honestly, I am a peaceful guy. I will fight to protect my family, but otherwise, I trap and release bugs for Christ sakes.
But every single person director level and above needs to be slapped in the face 4 times a day with fucking trout. To remind themselves that they are simply assholes who will crumble at the slightest real world issue. ALL c suite and most directors, are fucking overpaid, underworked and ass kissed by people better than them. Every fucking one
Directors aren't a monolith though. Many, are a merely titles given to what we used to call team leads. But if they have real power ? They didn't earn it. None of them did not one.
I have worked for some of the biggest digital companies on earth in my. 55++ years ,And I am not joking.
That boy needs to go outside if he thought, THAT was chaos.
Seen worse at my local grocery's
