The only wrong part of this meme is the implication that burgers would even try to not blame foreign meddling.
No you don’t understand, it wasn’t 80 years of fascist power consolidation and continual capitalist cannibalization since the 70s, It is all Putin manipulating social media causing the material conditions in the Global North. One thing is for sure, no one wrote a book in the nineteenth century describing this exactly.
You don’t understand, the U.S. was sold to Russia in 2016, then it was reclaimed and thanklessly saved by our harm-reduction, lesser-evilism enjoyer (very wholesome), then it was hopelessly sold back again to Russia just recently…
It’s also a problem in europe
Edit: people blaming immigrants, that is, not immigration itself
and blaming communism, despite the fact that there’s no communism to be found in Europe
It’s not like Musk was elected.
They don’t even try.
Mfw the country is founded by foreigners who didn’t like the other foreigners
Capitalism and First-past-the-post voting.
Capitalists hate competition.
Elon Musk is a foreigner that is directly causing our current problems.
The US has been the most evil country on earth long before musk arrived.
I would argue that the British Empire and Belgium were pretty fucking evil long before the US came into existence.
After WW2 most of the worlds imperialism, death and destruction and theft has shifted. The main perpetrator went from being Europe to the US. With Europe remaining complicit of course.
That’s a fair point. The US empire expanded tremendously after all the war profiteering from WW2, which allowed for the evil that we see today.
No argument there.
Elon Musk is a foreigner
No, he’s an American citizen. Or are American liberals full ‘blood and soil’ now?
Rightwingers don’t usually care about whether immigrants have citizenship or not.
Yeah, including right wing blueMAGA liberals
Wym “now”? Lmao

Thanks Obama
I frequent the “…thanks a lot Obama.”
One in particular from. South Africa
It’s those fucking illegals who came over on the mayflower that caused this
had the native american’s been smart enough to build a wall across the ocean… none of this mess would have happened.
Powhatan should have 💀 them as they came ashore. That’s one thing I would fix with a time machine.
Lots of populist European parties are doing the same and are actually gaining votes by blaming everything on the immigrants.
It’s not necessarily foreigners, but rather billionaires that are the problem. They bought off and corrupted government officials long ago, and directed them to perform heinous acts to line their pockets further. The rich have got to be stopped in order for things to get better. I’d prefer to simply tax them out of existence, but there are other means available…
The US was founded on slavery and genocide / conquest of hundreds of indigenous nations. It’s rotten to the core.
Yeah, and many of those founders were rich businessmen who didn’t want to pay taxes to the king of England. This is a human problem, not a national one.
Yeah, and many of those founders were rich businessmen who didn’t want to pay taxes to the king of England.
They were pissy that the king made it illegal to expand westward and exterminate all of the indigenous people. They were all “no, actually, the British Empire isn’t evil enough. Let’s make an even bigger and eviller empire than the [at the time] most evil empire on Earth.”
This is a human problem, not a national one.
It is a national and class problem, not a human one. Human nature is a bs concept invented to sell the status quo.
George washington, franklin, jefferson, madison, all the founders were slave-owning colonizers who explicitly modelled their country after ancient Rome.
It’s not a human problem, these were specifically evil people who did not share the same values as the people they murdered and enslaved.
Most countries were not founded in this way.
I’ll start. Go home white people! Go back to where you came from!
I’d love to live in Denmark, that’s where most of my heritage comes from.
I’m Danish, follow your heritage and come back, it’s pretty great here
Maybe I should go to Poland. That’s the largest contiguous plurality of my background…
I second this ~a 13th great grandchild of Powhatan.
This reminded me of that one nando’s ad
It’s not like most european countries are in a good position to justifiably point fingers here …
The author Domenico Losurdo uses the term mutual demystification a lot, especially in Liberalism - a counter history. When two parties accuse each other of being hypocrites, it often ends up showing that they both are.
I’d like to point out that I’m european, not american - this is the opposite of calling each other hypocrites.
When people are not brain dead by media, both in the US and EU we know all of our problems comes from our own government and fat CEOs.
Foreigners are just one of the many scapegoats they put the blame on.
What it reminds me of is Greeks and then Romans calling them barbarian, from barbar meaning foreigners. This isn’t new…
The problem always was power and the unfit nature of human beings to possess it.
