How the US is turning into a mass techno-surveillance state
-
God I miss the pre-9/11 US, when the worst thing happening was bad jokes on SNL about Bill Clinton and cigars.
We sent all our manufacturing capabilities to China.

Uh you mean since like, 2001?
And by US, the author means the world.

You know, it’s funny, the only time I read someone referring to Americans as Yankees is when it’s a post-Soviet bloc troll. Such a red flag to me.
Edit: this is the second time on here I’ve experienced uniform bigotry for Americans without knowing my personal story. You are insulting someone who is an ally, whether or not you care. If you are going to win the war on authoritarianism and the future you should do a better job of parsing friend from foe. I am not you enemy and my experience with Yankee rings true in all my travels of the world.
nice xenophobic take, yanqui. mb you should go home?

Seems like a personal attack. Not a xenophobic comment when I’ve observed on social media that yankee is rarely used by a native English speaker. I stand by my opinion and all the downvotes tell me I’m onto something true.

Maybe not the best example.
At that time this sleezebag (and others with power) got away with a lot of sexual misconduct.
And in his case probably rapes.
Minimising it as him being some naughthy schoolboy and making jokes about is not really something I miss.I don't want to downplay sexual misconduct, but the issues we are facing right now are orders of magnitude higher.
You will never find a perfect point it time where life is good for and harmonious everyone. The 90s had their problems, for sure, but the USA wasn't tearing itself apart, or bringing in and welcoming in a new wave of fascism.

I know that wasn't your intention, mentioned it bcs it just sounded weird and and unfortunate choice.
" USA tearing itself apart" is the best thing that could happen to the world.
I feel sorry for the handful of non-uniparty voters that have to suffer but as a European this feels like your country is getting a taste of its own medicine. -

Somehow that was removed for Rule 3, I don't see how.
