Just another argument as to why American exceptionalism needs to die. Right, Left, Up or Down, a self-centered, American narcissist abused his position of power in a company serving international customers because he got so assblasted at President Trump. They can't vote in American elections, they probably don't even care about American politics, yet you tried to make them care.

To make a more political point, TDS is an international mind virus that has broken something deep and integral within the left in America and globally. It might be ignorance, but I don't recall such rabid, frothing fury over Bush Jr. This also highlights why entryism is never attempted until a clear market leader is discovered. The left loves them some monopolies.

It was pretty bad, but not as bad as TDS. For one, the media wasn't singing in unison for his impeachment.

Let's also not forget the ODS, where people were acting in an absolutely ridiculous manner, calling him 'Obunghole' and claiming that he was a Muslim born in Kenya.

The difference is that that was mostly coming from the 'rabble', while this is the rage of the elites at losing a single election and their first ever.

A couple people calling “O ‘bomb a’ -nother hospital” mean names, is a whole lot different than a vast majority of institutions and all of the the mainstream media circle jerking about how bad Orange Man is and calling for the destruction of the US.

It's in no way comparable, I agree. But there was a lot of irrational hatred for Obama as well, which is what I was trying to argue. People called him a communist for the very reasonable proposition that we should spread the wealth around.

I regard him mostly as an empty suit, not an evil genius.

What's that line?

When you're used to privilege, equality feels like oppression...

Did media so much as criticize the scent of Obama's flattus? Obama was a shit president and this is a horrible comparison.

You're absolutely right; not sure why you're being downvoted. Obama was shit but hardly anybody in the media elite would ever call him on it. And the crazy accusations came from randos on the Internet.

Do you think this faggot wouldn't do the same if he's Canadian or European? Assuming intellectual superiority isn't exclusive to the US

Most of this would die if nearly every company of note or value to the West wasn't founded or stationed in America.

You want it fixed, stop using American companies for everything. I think the entire world would benefit from getting less globalized and rooted in a single nation.

At the moment, American exceptionalism is still valid, but that it's exceptionally bad. I don't think that even in Sweden the corrupt elites would justify and defend their own cities being torched by mobs of savages.

Look man, we made a bet about Sweden being "that bad" and Tim Pool went and proved it was. They don't defend it because they just don't acknowledge places like Malmo.

I know you are on a full anti-America kick, and I don't blame you for it, but lets keep things in proper context.

I do not remember ever making such a bet. Sweden is a trainwreck and has been for a very long time. Malmo is a disaster in the way that Baltimore is.

That said, it is just 'ordinary' crime and gang violence and Islamic enrichment. What is not yet happening is mass rioting, looting and burning in the manner that is taking place in America, and having an entire political faction either claim that it's justified or that it is 'peaceful'.

I'm honestly rooting for the good guys in your country. But I don't have much hope that you are going to prevail. The rottenness of the elites (ours are rotten as well) that has been revealed is not going to be fixed, not with an election, and even if you started today, it would take decades to make it remotely bearable. That is more than enough to push your country over the edge.

And don't think that I think that we are immune. At best, we're only 10 years behind on schedule. The wages of identiarianism are coming. And we don't even have any way of defending ourselves when it comes for us.

I know you are on a full anti-America kick

I'm ambivalent. I like some Americans a lot, and I hate some Americans a lot.

I meant "We" as Americans. It was a big thing. Trump made a comment about what a shithole Sweden was. Someone offered a bounty to go prove him wrong, Tim Pool was the man who did it. He went in trying to disprove Trump and ended up getting redpilled hard.

That was what catapulted him to relevancy in this culture war and was the start of his descent.

What is not yet happening is mass rioting, looting and burning in the manner that is taking place in America, and having an entire political faction either claim that it's justified or that it is 'peaceful'.

This is entirely personal bias. We have much horrific shit, but we don't have absurd numbers of grenade attacks. Fisticuffs and fires are far less dangerous than a single grenade, let alone the amount they get. And even then, tit for tat both are pretty far down the horrific scale, so its just subjectivity to really compare it.

But, their government is literally suppressing the data (that's why we had to send in a fucking bounty journalist on it) and the populace just rolls over for it. They barely have a pushback on it to need for a faction to claim its justified.

The only reason it seems less bad to you is because Sweden itself is irrelevant so whatever happens there is pretty meaningless outside of there. And I'm quite sorry every country in Europe laps up America's shit like a starving dog, but that doesn't make our internal, personal problems somehow way worse.

I'm ambivalent.

It was a comment on how you have spent the last few days posting nothing but doomer tier "America is so fucked" remarks. Not that I blame you, but you are letting it taint your perspective.
