Thank you for suspending him.
He needed to go. HIs place definitely wasn’t here.
They have the rise of global slavery when very wealthy imperialists leech resources away from most people through sweatshops, wealth inequality, puppet rulers, lack of enough human rights being protected, etc. with economic strangleholds.
The rise of sweatshops because of United States’ imperialism:
The rise of wealth inequality because of United States’ imperialism:
The rise of puppet rulers because of United States’ imperialism:
Investigative journalists being killed to keep United States’ imperialists powerfully wealthy:
Edward Snowden, the guy who exposed America’s fascist rulers:
Julian Assange, another guy who exposed America’s fascist rulers who attack human rights:
Latin America, Africa, the middle eastern countries, Australia, the U.K, and other countries have been politically affected by the United States’s rulers’ imperialistic intervention.
Why Latin America is bullied by the United States:
Why Africa is bullied by the United States:
Why some middle eastern countries are bullied by the United States:
Why Australia’s government has become complicit by the United States:

Why the U.K. and U.S. are not completely different from each other:
The United States’ imperialists intentionally have their military and economic power to bully every non-U.S. country into submission.

Those faux-independent countries have sweatshops to keep these very wealthy imperialists wealthier than most people. With the rise of these crazy situations, poverty inevitably increases.
There is a posititive correlation between poverty and religiosity. The most wealthy and peaceful countries have no to little religiosity.
So, the reason why religion creeps back into public schools is because of factors like poverty from socioeconomics, political corruption, and rising con artistry to keep cut-throat elites wealthier by distracting lower class people with nonsense.
As a person whose hobbies were investigative journalism, creative writing, and researching human rights, I have seen all countries be at their best performance before 9/11. I have seen the decrease of international democracy and rising idiocracy after 9/11 in favor of cut-throat elites spreading American imperialism. Which is why these elites are insanely wealthier and more powerful than most people internationally. Cut-throat elites have weaponized online surveillance, censorship, wealth inequality, sweatshops, and other things internationally after 9/11 to keep themselves satisfied while many people suffer in the process, especially investigative journalists or human rights activists. Suicide rates, mental illness, lower I.Qs, and poverty have increased after 9/11 internationally because of what these cut-throat elites have done.
A reason why, in America, Christianity creeps into public schools is because working class Americans don’t have political power. The word God was not in that “Pledge of Allegiance” until upper class, white men changed it. Upper class, white men in America found out that religion is a great tool to take poor people’s money. So, it’s not about ethics when religion creeps into public schools in America. It’s about money to keep these upper class people satisfied. Christianity has toxic misogyny, disgusting rape, and vile pro-slavery in the Bible. Upper class people in America have fed working class Americans Christianity to create this toxic power dynamic. Speaking of power. I would never trust a leader promoting a religion that represents misogyny, rape, and slavery from its scriptures. I know the degeneracy that comes from those 3 things: misogyny, rape, and slavery.
It is the mother of all TL:DRs.
The U.S. has been a baddie.
Time to set aside a day to read…
I will be reading - a lot in a first post jesus Christ man we have lives
BUT first - making a case about the USA negatively NO PROBLEM. It’s an international forum with many American citizens and we bitch about our own and other countries.
HOWEVER your choice of words to describe
FACIST
often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.
DOES NOT ACCURATELY DESCRIBE THE USA POLITICAL SYSTEM (although internally as with all countries there are fascist type elements or political leanings)*
The U.S.A. political system is controlled by people who are attacking investigative journalists, free speech with increasing gag orders, people from non-American countries with their military-industrial complex to take oil and other resources through force, etc. The U.S.A. political system is controlled people who have militarians raping, torturing, and killing innocent people for oil, metals, food, and other resources from non-American countries. The U.S.A. political system has legalized Orwellian online surveillance to allow its insanely wealthy oligarchs exclusive power over working class Americans. Police workers in America are helping these antisocial elites attack working class Americans with increasing wealth inequality, censorship, online surveillance, sexual abuse, religious grifting, etc. There are American businesses allowed to stay open while stealing lower class customers’ money after they cancel their subscriptions. American banks are trying to rape working class Americans’ financial power away from them by regulating BitCoin and cryptocurrency in general. The U.S.A. political system is a fascist empire controlled by upper class men who treat most people like disposable garbage for money, power, and control. They are trying to kill Julian Assange right now by bringing him out of the U.K. and into the U.S. because Julian Assange exposed their fascist censorship in mainstream media, war crimes against humanity, and ruthless methods of gaining wealth by making many people suffer financially internationally while they are the small population of people who are insanely wealthy because they are unfairly competitive. So, our world is burning and becoming increasingly unlivable from pollution due to these companies and corporations ruled by cut-throat elites. We could have had environmentally friendly businesses significantly reduce the amount of greenhouse gases, carcinogenic things in manufacturing plants, cancerous things like cigarettes, and so forth. But these very wealthy elites are greedy enough to prevent that from happening. Which is why Greta Thunberg’s mission has been a joke to these elites. Even some of her messages are getting censored in mainstream media from fascist corporate interests. Which these fascist elites who rule America created corporate interests to keep them wealthier than most people. I have native ancestry and indigenous people are treated like second-class citizens in America. Mainstream media does not cover the fullest history about how natives got their land stolen and why indigenous people are still living like second-class citizens. Because mainstream media is controlled by fascist elites. Fascism was rising in America when it was created. But it has been drastically rising again after World War 2. Martin Luther King, Jr. and John F. Kennedy were assassinated for a reason. These fascist big tech industry rulers had a plan to create online surveillance, censorship, and other things to keep most people disempowered. It’s to keep them from knowing the fullest history about why Martin Luther King, Jr. and John F. Kennedy were assassinated. That’s why Panquake is getting created. YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, TikTok, Discord, and many other platforms are only helping this fascist mainstream media make cut-throat elites wealthier than most people through ridiculous censorship.
Lol no love lost between you and the USA, eh???
I’m dead tired busy day.
What you’re speaking to isn’t really new to me. Most likely, not much new to anyone on here.
My view isn’t quite as negative nor alarmist. But tomorrow.
I’m up. Well rested. Whew - that’s a lot of stuff the USA has done! You missed a shitload though. Man… they are bad! bad I tell you! And then they have this tin-guy running around all red neck and stuff…
HOWEVER - there’s a whole lotta history being overlooked in this and social evolution and foreign affairs and various forms of governments and other oligarchs and systems of control that exist on this planet.
For instance, the US was totally reluctant to get involved in WW2 (like they were with WW1) Good or bad? I mean, now they have their nose in everyone’s business. Someone woulda dropped the A-bomb. Seriously. At that time in history THAT bomb was going to get used by some country on another. No getting around it. Since the hit on Japan - the horror of nuclear bombs is widely known YET now the race was on…
What race??? Oh, that race - the Cold War. Communism vs Capitalism. Shit. Kept everyone real busy - that decades old fucker - yet also set before humanity the differences between Constitutional Freedoms and ohhhhh, let’s think hmmmm, countries that didn’t offer any up. Theocratic setups in the Middle East took hold (damn that whole Israel
thingy) and China had fun killing a shitload of its citizens moving the country “forward” (then the whole population control and state media control and no religion control and then the Tibet thingy and now Taiwan). Russia loses their USSR but, damn if Putin ain’t going to fix that shit, eh??? Just one big happy Russian family get together (like it or not). At least the UK
got to just (finally???) exit the EU without being taken over (bang, bang gun sounds)…
Then there’s the whole “we want the USA to help us” and “whattabout this crisis and that crisis, USA doesn’t care” AND “get the fuck out USA” - what’s a country to do???
LOTS is examples of exposure you mentioned BUT whattabout (hehehehe - proper use as in “result from”) reforms and societal movement forwards BECAUSE of “power/control” being used in a negative way.
So Snowden, eh? Good on him for exposing PRISM. It enacted several new laws and regulations were enacted to limit things like how long U.S. citizens’ data could be held or how data accidentally collected on Americans through the surveillance of foreigners could be used. Still have 5 eyes though
He worked for the NSA AND Mr. Snowden, journalists have released more than 7,000 top-secret documents, but some think that’s only a fraction of the entire archive. It’s unclear exactly how many he downloaded, but intelligence officials testified in 2014 that he accessed 1.7 million files. Did he face up to his actions in the States? Nope . Ran to Russia (hahahahaha) where he gets his “freedom” under a Christian Nationalist Authoritarian regime.
Here’s the thing. Corporations are beyond profits and countries (they profiteer and manipulate) WITH no “citizenship” or ethical contributions to the society that contributes to their success. THIS is a worldwide issue (not just a USA) and people and governments have taken notice and yelled for again, decades, BUT it’s ramping up. We got the G7 “corporate tax deal” in the works so Corps can’t just shop around (well, they still can - we’ll see where they want to set up shop and how well that might work out for them). And HUGE calls internationally for the fucking super wealthy to start really paying taxes.
In the end though - cause fuck, we could spend our lives just bitching (rightly) about one country in particular. OR all (they all are fucked up doing something or an overall fucked-upiness); or we can look at our own reality.
THIS is my preference. I have a good decent home. Good rural lifestyle that I enjoy and chose. Lots of hard physical work. Lots of nature, which btw ain’t “friendly” needs LOTS of respect. I live in a society with laws and civil contributions and healthcare and clean water and shopping (groceries and such) and entertainment and mind-stimulating puzzles and incredible technology and medical advances and voting and representation and I can bitch and post without STATE censorship (private companies can do what they like, eh) or arrest. I get to volunteer if chose how I want to help others (or not)… in other words, as an adult I’m responsible for my own life, my own well-being and choices and the outcomes of such.
OH, which includes parent-directed HOMESCHOOLING ‘cause I like science and critical thinking and my area it’s a Catholic school system
I say we all pack up and move to the smallest country on the planet. Sealand.
Yah - great point. Groups and tribes …can’t live with them, can’t genocide them.
And was that any different than the Roman or British empires?
Past. Name any political governmental structure based on ONE ideology that doesn’t end up “controlled by upper rich and people like disposable garbage”.
Ones that work for the most part are a mixture.
And you would think the “Rich” would be scared out of their frigging minds. Show me a government that has not been overthrown by the people and the rich hung out to dry. You would think someone up on the top there would figure something out.
It’s not just the school system, unfortunately. It’s also happening more frequently in the workplace. Used to be that I never heard a peep from any fellow employee regarding his/her religious beliefs in retail, but now that I’m in the medical field it’s all I hear on a regular basis.
It’s the rise of Christian Nationalism seeping into education, medicinal, laws, politics…
Authoritarianism stems from those who need a strong father figure (usually toxic masculinity). The bible, which is the basis or “foundation” has the most toxic Authoritarian Father figure known and inhumane laws.
No doubt Abraham was a monster. The voices in his head told him to kill his son, the voices in his head told him god was punking him.
Welcome!
Please elaborate your position.
I’m sorry to hear about that man. Most of my family members are Christians, including my mother, so I understand how frustrating it can be when a Christian feels the need to say stuff like “God is great” or “Thank you God”. Despite the fact that the Christian God is a narcissistic psychopath and also doesn’t exist.
Well the good news is that in Australia our new government has announced the Chaplain program is to lose its religious compulsion. In that the schools can use its “chaplain” funding to hire a real child welfare specialist without the trappings of religion.
Of course the fundies are apoplectic seeing their 140 million profit disappearing before their eyes…
