Not even waiting for Trump to get elected before they turn on a group they claim to defend from Trump

    I love that all the things he named are just consumerist garbage. No mention of Healthcare, time off, affordable housing, a social safety net, none of it. Nothing that actually matters. And I have to wonder why he didn’t 🤔

    Also this lifestyle makes me want to die.

      it’s really a perfect summation of American culture. there’s no actual culture to be proud of - the American lifestyle is just a bunch of shitty brands (that exist everywhere) and food that kills you.

        The softest ban I ever got on reddit-logo was in some post about how “it’s not okay to say america doesn’t have culture” where I said I agree and that its culture is vapid consumerism

      America is best because of things for sale there. Exclusive and amazing things like…coffee, pants, shoes, beer and meat. The only thing ‘american’ about it is the specific brands he brings up. So what if my coffee isn’t Starbucks, my shoes aren’t Levi’s and my pants aren’t Nikes and why the fuck would I want my ribs from Applebee’s if I ate meat in the first place? The fuck kind of own do they think this is? You can get stuff that’s widely available most places but you won’t be able to look at the same logo?

      “You’re lucky you live here pal, it has brands I’ve identified with because that’s literally all America has”
