Not joking.
I hear you. I've been all over this world, from South America, to Asia, to the Middle East, to Africa, and, wait, I haven't been to Europe (how crazy is that?). Every_single_country I've been to has been absolutely obsessed with this shithole. If I had an AUD for every time someone from all the shitholes I've been to would move to our shithole in a NY second, I'd have probably around a $100 AUD.
I was listening to NPR today, which sucked because it's produced here in this shitholiest of shitholes, and there was a gentleman from Gambia discussing his country's efforts at removing the death penalty. He made the claim that it's unfortunate the Trump admin wants to use the death penalty because Africa, not just America, but
Africa looks to the US for leadership.
Crazy, huh? I mean, we have Alabama and Mississippi. damned shithole racists! And Utah. Mormon shithole racists! Africa looks to us and
admires us. But we're the
worst. I know that now. I know it because Aussie Guy has done me the service over the last few years of educating me on just how bad the US is. Virtually all the time. Like. That's what he posts. US = Bad.
I'm sorry, Aussie Guy. I'm sorry you live in a terrible, horrible, liberal western democracy. I hope you guys sort yourselves out. It's a tough situation down there. I feel for you.
