  A large portions of democrats too. I don’t think Americans realize how their culture of rugged individualism has affected them as a people.

    I don’t think you can call it a culture but propaganda to justify their personal greed and neoliberal policies. Basically sociopathy as an ideology for the elite, dressed up as “whatever” for the masses.

      It’s really what American “culture” seems like to an outsider.

    Take one pinch of puritanism, one pinch of rugged individualism and sprinkle on some American exceptionalism and you have a dangerous combination.

  I don’t get why people idolise politicians. Most politicians in power will kill you without a second thought if it meant they could smoke an extra cigar

    If I want good healthcare, I’ll go earn it! And I’m not earning it, so I must not deserve it!

  I wish they would understand that you can make a lot more money with living people than dead ones, since they is their primary concern.

  Best way, pay in for 40-60 years and die before you can take out.
