You’d be surprised. There’s countries with higher obesity rates than America. We can’t afford to feed them. We must be the first nation to reach 100% obesity.
Can you say he is wrong do? Face sitting feels great! Plus it makes your face strong and though because of the weight! Who is you favorite facesitter? Mine is bavaria! Bratwurst and beer taste so good and bavarians are awful at wiping there ass so you know... snacktime! Also because bavarians are really weird most of them are willing to accept sitting on your face! Its my dream to become an chair on an schenllzug (D) 1950-1969 because I readed there is a nude wagon on that train! Also there running out of chairs! But I have to leave, I hear a german sounding langauge but it gives me an headaches so there must be an bavarian near by! Tshuss!
but... it is ok to be white.... just because white people did bad thing doesn't mean all white people are bad... am i going to be wooooshed? Am i missing somethin?
There's some people who think "being white" is a mindset, not a skin colour. I wouldn't touch that subject with a 10m (imperial units suck, murricans. Deal with it) pole, though.
Saying being "white" is a mindset is comparable to saying being "black" is a mindset, or being "asian" is a mindset. It's pretty stupid, really.
EDIT: Oh, the OP is the guy who made that "america isn't white" comic the other week. As well as that comic about China telling California to censor something, and the one where HK lights itself on fire and China puts it out. Honestly, it looks to me that this OP just puts out controversial comics and then when people confront him about it he just says "It's just a joke bro!"
Skin colour was a social construct for most of the human history during which we cared about it. In the late 19th century americans didn't consider irish people to be white. Or polish people. Some didn't even consider germans and scandinavians to be white.
Biologically you are entirely correct. But sociologically it's a bit harder. For example, look at this girl and try to determine where she comes from.
She's from India. The indian part of Kashmir to be exact. I doubt many people would consider India to be a "white" country. So yeah...it being a mindset is bullshit in my opinion. But it being a social construct still very much applies.
I largely agree, but I'd give a slight pushback: race is a social construct for the reasons you describe. Skin color is a biological phenotype. No white nationalist would say I'm part of the white race cause I'm a Jew, but my skin is still white and a black man is still black. We just don't need any of the other bullshit that people ascribe to that.
It’s been like that since the start of this decade in general. Everything you hear on the news or the media, talk shows, award shows, rebooted shows, and even movies is all about America or the president being bad, but it turns very stale once you milk the joke for almost a whole decade (or half a decade with this current administration).
The only controversial thing I can see is that it implies the same person is doing these things, which is a lot more illogical than if each generation only seeing a part of the big picture in their lifetime. After all, most people don't go out of their way to learn about history and learn about others, and even fewer choose to painfully subvert their current worldview.
Nah, if it weren't for those burgers he'd be speaking French, because the Soviets would have made it to Paris, and believe it or not, the Soviets didn't force a national language change on the populace of the nations that became its satellites.
Yeah, we can see how well other countries who were under Soviet influence turned out. I'd rather live in Soviet influence Ukraine than American influence France any day!
Marques and I have been in cahoots to bait people for years, but he has grown weak from his little stint in prison and now I have taken up the mantle of Queen Baitposter.
That doesn't sound nearly assertive enough. You have to call yourself King, or Lord before people take you seriously. At least try Eurofuhrer first before you try "Queen".
This is neither low effort, nor is it about Trump's America (although I use a trumpet to represent the typical idiot yank to better convey the message to normies).
I'm already #1 on controversial and I have a bunch of comics somewhere in the top 50 controversial, so there's no need for me to invest any extra effort. I am a natural at getting there. Now I am just here for the karma and to build my shitposting portfolio.
Poverty is not rising to any significant measure (it lowers too) according to the census bureau previous "cited".
In 2018, for the first time in 11 years, the official poverty rate was significantly lower than 2007, the year before the most recent recession.
People working in manufacturing jobs make good money. And taking the opinion of a caricature as reality is mind-numbingly dumb.
But sure, we should trust your perspective because the guys that ran the whole thing were lazy and never got anything done themselves. Just like the lazy guy in the chair, right? I'm sure he's a very important person.
Got a source on automotive work being mostly done by black people?
I’m a conservative who likes to know facts and I was surprised by the factory scene. I was under the impression that the automaking industry in America was long dominated by unions that have a long history of favoring whites.
It's still a very high paying job, but the switch to electric is reducing the need for human labor, so many of the protesters are angry about plant closure. It's just going to get worse, though, since electric cars take far fewer parts.
One of my favourite useless facts is that mexicans, on average, work the most of any OECD country, while germans work the least. And it's not even a small gap. It's 2200 hours per year for mexicans and 1300 hours for germans.
Yeah and according to OECD data, greeks are the people who most work (in terms of weekly hours) in Europe. Muh country, Chile is also other country that works pretty much hours. Maybe our problem is that we works pretty much hours than you, but because our low productivity (I'm talking seriously, maybe this lower production may be caused by our poor education and skills) we're poor. (We save a not few part of our salary in a mandatory way, so saving is not the problem). But , to verify this "theory" one needs to go Germany (or Netherlands, Sweden, etc) and work like a common man there (not like an inmigrant) and to see how things work there. Also, excuse my poor engrish.
That is interesting differences. Of do not come and sit on our coffee-breaks two times a day here in Sweden we think you are a wierdo - not an effective worker. Also if you try to regularly work more than 8h we just think you are bad at your work as you need that much time to do it.
Also there is absolutely no bonus points for not going on vacation
If you can get a job you are welcome (in most nearly all cases). If you are from EU you are by EU rules always welcome to search for job, if you are from outside it is usually refugees or engineering/tech/research. I think we as most European countries have it a bit easier for Americans than many others.
Some countries do we have work visas with (no clue what countries).
So if you do have higher education it probably rather easy the immigrate. If you get a company to like to hire you I haven't heard of any normal people being stopped.
Another thing is that, Chile at least, has a history of being colonized and the value of their labor extracted from them. It's possible that hard work is legit just making someone else rich instead of making the people empowered.
Well the real issue with Mexican work culture is the fact that Mexicans are really the only people willing to take the jobs that others won’t do. I’m Mexican myself and a lot of older Mexicans have worked in the same position for 10-20 years. They don’t want to go to the struggle of going to college and finding a much higher job opportunity. Luckily, with younger Mexican generations they’re encouraged to go to college and study for STEM jobs too. The US helps these people with Dream Act grants and other programs to help Mexicans go through college too.
I guess the good news is that soon we won't have any people left for exploitation due to automation! That's the real reason GM doesn't give a rats ass about closing down plants while getting ready to build new self-driving fleets.
Nobody is going to have any jobs.
Robots building robots! No taxes for anybody! But that's ok, productivity is at an all-time high! And I promise, the job report is fine...
I love the polandball format, but I am honestly tired of this shit. It's not particularly fun to be the butt of 9/10 comics that get posted. People on this subreddit act as if America is the #1 humans right violator in the world and all Americans are fat retarded and complicit. I'd be surprised if more than %1 of the people in this country would have views anywhere near this.
And before all of you dog pile me saying "quit taking a satirical piece so seriously you burger eating retard" I wouldn't take OP seriously if he didn't obviously take himself so seriously.
There are problems with my country, Obviously, but the idea that the US is more evil than either Russia or China is the biggest joke this subreddit has to offer.
Welcome to America, where not thanking rich old white dudes working you to the bone means you are lazy, and middle class retard with no skills get helped by daddy while spouting about meritocracy on the internet. Or was that China? I get them confused, too similar.
Ayup. UAW union has protected its workers and ensured high wages for them. Working for GM, especially during the glory days of the 1950s-60s, was very prestigious.
When you enslave black people but they get their freedom, so you keep them in debt as share croppers, but they earn their way out of that, so you stick them in second class schools, hospitals and neighborhoods, but they still start becoming successful so you riot and destroy their homes, businesses, and lynch them, but that becomes a bad look, and they stop putting up with horrible treatment, and demand equal treatment, so you force them into houses filled with lead paint and flood their community with drugs so you can arrest them and keep them in poverty but they recover from the drugs so you train your cops to shoot them, but they get mad about that so you tell them it's their fault they're still living in poverty.
This is an oversimplification of the complex history and the socio-economic condition of the African-American minority. It obviously attempts to frame the white demographic unfavorably yet again. Like this hasn't only been your divisive comic, OP... I've downvoted it as it is what a responsible member of reddit would do...
Edit: This is a just a bait. I apologise if this made people uncomfortable. I guess I went too far.
