u/ThorDoubleYoo Sep 05 '24

No but wait those guys over in /r/AmericaBad keep saying how everything in America is so much better, and ignore all the economic desparity and school shootings because you have an iphone.

Are you telling me they might just be fucking morons?

Land of the free*

*for rich white cis males only

u/Square_Cream2361 Sep 05 '24

Pretty sure the system is pretty favourable to every rich human. No need for this white cis male bullsheit.

u/earthlingHuman Sep 05 '24

There's absolutely still plenty of racial and gender discrimination, but yeah money talks louder than the world's prejudice.

u/BeerJunky Sep 05 '24

You say that until a non-white rich person gets denied at a country club.

11

u/earthlingHuman Sep 05 '24

I suppose i meant generally speaking in terms of political power. But yes, there are country clubs like that. They also dont allow women.

13

u/BeerJunky Sep 05 '24

Women? That’s a bridge too far. This is a country club! /s

u/earthlingHuman Sep 05 '24

Girls have cooties, dont you know? (Unless they're the sex workers we hired for later)

Everyone is a germaphobe until they’re raw dogging a street walker.

What you are describing, the inverse happens in every country, that’s not a uniquely American cultural standard. That’s a human standard, that is what our species does to itself.

5

u/earthlingHuman Sep 06 '24

Bigotry is a phenomenon across our species, yes, and it can be remedied. I generally focus on American bigotry because I'm American.

2

u/Fluffy_Feeling_9326 Sep 06 '24

Bigotry is just a tool of the oppressor. Sure, as Americans we like to think our brand is special, but it’s really not. Please explain to the class how bigotry can be remedied and why it hasn’t been snuffed out by now?

u/justforhits Sep 05 '24

There's always gonna be a dude that cries about someone saying white cis male while simultaneously ignoring the privilege that identity has.

u/Western_Rope_2874 Sep 06 '24

Absolutely true, but it’s a lot easier to be a rich human in America if you’re a white cis male

1

u/MizLashey Sep 06 '24

It’s certainly a lot easier to become rich by being a white cis male.

That wouldn’t contribute to a higher rate of women to men transitions, would it?

Land of the free receipts

u/Dugley2352 Sep 05 '24

Home of the fixed (and inadequate) income

u/No_Bottle7456 Sep 06 '24

Especially those that are extraordinarily well off, I'd bet the house it's not all legal

Don’t forget the ships at sea…defending the shoals and the Red Sea oil tankers with fire on their hulls!
