I was talking to one of my friends and he mentioned staying home on July 4, citing how there are a lot of really ugly things going on in the US.
After thinking about this myself, I’m starting to feel the same way. Instead of being proud of the country, I’m feeling like I’m just another wallet that companies and the government are trying to suck all the money out of.
The cost of living is going up, the housing market is a nightmare, I don’t feel very confident in our government at all, the job market is a nightmare…
I think I’ll be staying home this year too… anyone else?
The people who complain the loudest about disrespecting the flag are the same people who ruined it in the first place.
Burning it in a discarded toilet next to a truck stop is less disrespectful than this.
If those people didn’t have
hippcrasyhypocrisy, they’d have nothing… Well, they’d still have racism, bigotry, and a bunch of other shitty attributes I guess.hypocrisy. It is a really weirdly-spelled word.
Lol, I did butcher it. I only Lemmy from my phone, so I’m far more inclined to have typos. When I typed that I remember starting it and clicking on the suggestion to auto fill, but I must not clicked where I thought.
