    but even for those standards, it’s too much. it doesn’t even fucking affect the entirety of the US except for knock on effects. Like I gave a shit about Milei winning the argentinian elections, only because it could encourage more “libertarian” nutcases.

    Spoilers : Milei is not a “libertarian”, he doesn’t believe in the only fucking saving grace of libertarianism : personal freedoms.

      But it does, as trump is going to go after new York with even more force now. When Americans finally get off their ass and do something is what we are waiting for and this is the next step… For better or worse.

        what does that matter to someone living in the other fucking hemisphere, or hell, in wisconsin?

        EDIT: I’ll even go a step further, why should I give a shit about ICE, yeah, there’s fucking murderous squads of cops beating ethnic minorities. So? They’ve been doing that in Myanmar and Israel for decades, why do I care when it happens to idiots from Cuba that voted for trump, or generic immigrants who said “I’m leaving my home country, where should I move to? Oh, I know, the place where they have no universal healthcare”

          Because they are putting billions into making it everyone’s problem. Funding similar politicians around the world, making life harder for everyone on the planet… Not too mention the cost of things. They’ve made it everyone’s problem.

            But thats not what people complain about

            Russia does this too, but people dont complain about too much Russian news because there arent posts about internal Russian politics in every single meme community

              There super are, just not in english-language ones. Christ, go hang out in a polish meme channel and you’ll get absolutely innundated with “Soybyanin” jokes. That you’re seeing english-language memes about the political situation in the largest english-speaking country really shouldn’t be a surprise to you.
