At the present moment, the USA is the worst of the worst, but it’s not the only bad, and it wasn’t always the worst.

"USA bad" well extends beyond Lemmy and I don't think Lemmy is "USA bad" enough.

It depends on the instance. Dessalines doesn't run ads, so we won't see them.

I think someone can run ads on their instance on browser, and, separately, an app can run ads on any instance. Someone correct me here if I'm wrong.

On that note, Jerboa doesn't show ads either.

That's only one thing that's true. Anyone who's been here knows multiple things can be true at once.

I know there are tens of millions of Americans who aren’t fascists and hate what is going on. Until they get together and DO something about Trump and friends, though: USA bad.

The problem isn't limited to Trump and the GOP, though, both parties support genocidal settler-colonialism and imperialism. The US Empire itself is bad, and needs to be torn down and replaced.

Exactly. All these people online with their heads suddenly exploding like the US empire hasn’t been fucking shit up for many many decades. Trump is just the latest and most ridiculous manifestation of what the USA is at its core.

Like, ICE are a violent collection of belligerent bros who need to be kicked in the teeth, but does anyone remember post-9/11 when Arabs were disappeared, or the countless inhumanities done to black people for the entire country’s history? Buffalo extinction….anyone???

Let’s stop acting like the country was a fucking role model until the second Trump came on the scene. It’s just a Trail of Crocodile Tears to me.

The country has always been a monster, and even worse, will likely always be a monster long after the orange turd has been flushed.

The silver lining is that the US Empire is waning. Something is always rising, and something is always dying away. Dialectics.

What it lacks in raw disdain, it makes up for in simplicity. Well done.

Bad doesn't summarize it well enough. Horrendous? Despicable?

Scientists are still working on a word for it. In the meantime, I'll share the broad consensus phrase used by people around me: "fuck them, rooting on their downfall"

You need to add something like 'american sorry "crocodile tears"'

Well, USA is bad and it is every memer‘s duty to call out every single atrocity it is committing. Fuck USA and its oligarchs.

Boycot the shit out of 'em and they'll humbly get the place back in the world they really deserve.
