A better questions is, why the fuck do so many people want to go to the same country that’s responsible for fucking theirs up so bad, that they don’t want to live there anymore? It’s like Stockholm syndrome.

for a long time america has been portrayed as the shining beacon of freedom, democracy, and opportunity. it was also a country where some amount of (white) people working one job per family got to live comfortably for a while. wouldn’t surprise me if despite all the horrors of imperialism some people still think american life is good.
