I will never forget that group of tourists that, many many years ago, came to see the Pope in Germany and, while waiting for the underground, for reasons that elude me, started chanting: “USA! USA! USA!” 😐
911 was a really stressful time for the US. It left some… marks on the psyche. Mix that with a general lack of education and you end up with that. Just count yourself lucky you don’t have to live here.
I mean, I get that it’s utter shit right now and has been for some years and I don’t envy anyone who can’t get out. But this wasn’t yesterday. And you don’t see other nationalities going around being very loudly nationalistic and frankly antagonistic like that after they had some national tragedy.
We’re supposed to excuse Americans for what they endured in 9/11 but fuck if we show any signs of empathy with Iraqis that lost half a million people because George W Bush threw a tantrum.

i saw a guy doing that by himself once. at night. in -15° weather. facing a locked loading door at a university campus.
a peculiar breed.
I do that in the bathroom mirror every Tuesday morning while waving my guns in the air.
Do it three times in a row and JD Vance appears and soils your sofa.
Fuck, the mirror-person has guns! Shoot 'em!
Huh. Fascinating thought process I’m sure, no matter what it was.
I’m sure there was very little thought, let alone a process of them.
Well, probably not. Quite possibly just an instinct.
Having seen the YouTube, I’ve learned the ONLY chant for the train queue is “im-ho-tep! Im-ho-tep!”
