The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Because the United States are broken beyond repair.
They're actively trying to destroy it like Daddy Putin wants
The typical American is desperate, struggling, frightened and beaten into apathy
Unfortunately, they're also incredibly poorly educated and ignorant.
What they're taught in school is a sanitised and propagandised version of the world, where America is always the hero
When they are shown how civilised countries operate, the response is always "this is America, we don't want that here, despite the fact that it's demonstrably better for everyone in society"
Makes me remember sailors from the soviet union, laughing their asses off because we explicitly drove all our cars in front of their boat in the harbour to make them believe like everyone in Sweden had a car.
When it was just a normal day.
Bet usanians can't comprehend the freedom we have in europe either.
