US is sounding more like a developing country with authoritarian government all the time
it has been the moment masked unmarked paramilitary started snatching people off the streets. this is the hallmark of every shithole country.
The US is forty or so 3rd world countries being held up by the remaining states that could reasonably function as first world countries themselves, except we’re all in a big trenchcoat and we have thousands of nukes and a fuck-off huge military. This place hasn’t been “one country” for a while now.
That’s because it is
Oh no it’s worse, we’re a developed nation with global military capabilities that’s becoming (is?) authoritarian
I remember someone describing the US once as a third world country under a first world trench coat.
it is. it’s a “first world” nation where the healthcare of you and your family is directly tied to your place of employment. it’s a “first world” nation where mass shootings are the norm and there’s an insanely strong refusal to do anything about it. It’s a “first world” nation where you’re actively discouraged from seeking assistance from the government and in doing so is a sign of weakness. It’s a “first world” nation where the citizens taxes will go more towards military spending as opposed to infrastructure.
There’s nothing “first world” about the united states of america. It’s a country built on a system that was designed to prevent uprisings. If you protest constantly for change there’s the strong likely hood that you’ll lose your job, thus your healthcare, thus your ability to eat.
It’s a guy wearing an uncle sam halloween costume with a nazi armband underneath.
We’re fifty-five third-world territories in a trenchcoat
Even in (most) developing countries with authoritarian governments people don’t randomly get caught off the street; this is fascist business.
Oh, we’re developing alright. It’s cancer.
We’re already there
