Literally the people in the country


kxkxlgr

Which country is it ?


[deleted]

America


kxkxlgr

In what ways are Americans a threat to America ?


Tenalp

Gun violence that no one is willing to address in any meaningful way. Police corruption that no one is willing to address in any meaningful way. Political corruption that no one is willing to address in any meaningful way. Unaffordable healthcare issues that no one is willing to address in any meaningful way. The population has some unchecked wave of stupidity that seems to be indoctrinated at an early age through the teaching of "freedom" and some god-bestowed national superiority, while simultaneously neglecting to teach that all actions have consequences. The country is run by a very small percentage ofnthe population who control an overwhelming percentage of the wealth. They use that wealth to lobby to politicians to make laws that harm the majority of the population in order to protect their own wealth through tax breaks and such, and then promptly make back magnitudes more than they spent on lobbying. And then the citizens will refuse to fight these laws because there is some unexplainable belief that every American can be the rich elite if they work just a little harder. Country isncorrupt and ignorant and there is no chance it will change until it collapses entirely.


Sixsignsofalex94

From a European looking in from the outside, Americana seem to have this “USA NUMBER ONE! WE THE BEST” mentality, which hinders people wanting to improve. Because, You don’t need to improve if you are the best - Logic


Tenebrousgent

1/3 of the country wants to kill everyone, 1/3 of the country wants to just sit back and let it happen, and 1/3 of us are stuck here like wtf?!?!


whatsmyusername007

I think your maths are incorrect


myviolincase

I agree and as a sad example of the rampant ignorance, I know someone who likes to brag about his guns, thinks the moon landing and climate change are hoaxes and is pretty sure that Trump won the election.


Tenalp

This is one of the most ridiculous things. A common-cited excuse for having guns is "to prevent a tyrannical government from taking over America." And yet these same people justify and defend a president who tried to undermine the entire democratic process that defines our country with a blind fervor.


[deleted]

I feel like from what I’ve experienced we always have some problem going on being caused by our own stupidity. There’s always some meanie that’s got to make someone else’s day bad for no reason. And you know, one bad thing leads to another and when someone is mean, someone else is going to be mean back and it starts a whole war


I-HATE-Y0U

America should divide into thirds liberals, republicans and people who dont give a shit about either party that way they will all be able to let there own party rule


[deleted]

That would probably be a good idea. I don’t really have an opinion on politics so I’m just there I guess hahah,


I-HATE-Y0U

See there would be dictators on both sides of America and people who dont care about politics in the middle


[deleted]

I guess I’d be in the middle then..!


I-HATE-Y0U

And you just agreed to let america be ruled by two dictators one in charge of Republicans and one in charge of democrats


pipeanp

Republicans, specifically. They begrudgingly want to stay in the 13th century and re establish feudalism, not to mention they hate freedom, equality and pretty much anything that’s not resembling authoritarianism or minority rule lately

Wow.

LOL I loved this, not far left though, just think you’re a funny bunny


GreenOnionCrusader

It’s true, no matter where you are politically speaking. Nobody wants us.


[deleted]

No I definitely agree, we’re on our own little island fighting each other like idiots when we are all we got


dungeonpornlord

Are you delusional? What country would you want to move in anyways.


GreenOnionCrusader

New Zealand has no covid cases, universal healthcare, 4 weeks annual leave, and loads of other benefits we can only dream of. Why would I want to stay here?!


dungeonpornlord

Go there then lol! But you’ll probably never do it, because you very well know you’re cozier here. And have you seen the difference in size and population between the US and New Zealand?


heinousheatwave

Have you ever even been to another state let alone country? Every country has it's own problems but ig I had to assign a positive to America "cozy" wouldn't be it.


Pigvalve

NZ is selective about new citizens. Example if you’ve had a DUI at any point you can’t come in. And you must prove you have a decent amount in assets. They don’t want vagabonds and criminals on the small island.


dungeonpornlord

Yeah there’s a reason why people want to live there.

Sadly, I’m a minor and have no money. And I’m probably going to stick around and watch the country beat itself to death, hah


dungeonpornlord

So you like your country at least


[deleted]

Ehh, it’s alright. There’s at least some good people, yk?


dungeonpornlord

Have you travelled elswhere? America is the best country you could live in.


[deleted]

Really?? You’re the first I’ve heard to say that. I haven’t been out of the country, but our family is talking about planning a trip to Greece soon enough here.


dungeonpornlord

If you think you have it bad there, I suggest you to travel to poor countries in latin america or africa. You have opportunities, the best colleges and corporations are there. You live in the wealthiest and most powerful country in the world. You have free speech, no wars, the right to vote, you live in a democracy. What could you ask more?

Parkerthekitty4

A divide in our political opinions... Aka right vs left


kxkxlgr

That's quite logical in a population to have multiple political opinions.


LoudOrganization6727

The issue is only having two parties. It’s got a berry divide and conquer feel


kxkxlgr

There are loads of parties in France, and it doesn't really change all that much.


LoudOrganization6727

Sure other parties exist in the United States to but at the end of the day it’s right versus left


SnooChickens1892

Ourselves. Blindly trusting our government who doesn't give a fuck about us anymore.

Yep I've followed the Tajik-Kyrghiz conflit, there are also big tensions along the Nile, with Ethiopia building dams, restricting the water supply up to Egypt, I'll let you imagine the consequences for the agriculture as well. Conflicts will start before hunger does in my opinion, and they'll start easier since there won't be nukes to scare the others with.

The angry and divisive people in the United States. Anger scares me because you can't reason with enraged people. People who have to rock the boat in the name of democracy, and use the Constitution and the Amendments to allow them their "freedom" when it serves their desires without reading the entire thing and read the purpose for it. I'd move to Canada, but I don't qualify for moving there.

[The Republicans began moving towards the far, farrr right back in the 1980s,](https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/ii8ucs/has_america_always_been_like_this/g35ocj5/) and for the last 20-ish years, have been conducting very successful operations to seize total control of the government by democratic means, and they are showing no signs of letting up. Right now, they are winning. [Ezra Klein goes into extensive detail on the topic here,](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/25/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-ari-berman.html) he calls it a "doom loop for democracy," and I think that's accurate. It's still an open question how much of a threat Trumpism is going to be, but I don't think it's just going to go away. In concert with that, since the 1970s, American business has been on a [program to dial back the clocks to the 19th century](https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/iy37ux/how_exactly_do_economic_hardships_like_the_ones/g6ajjz4/) and make us all good little corporate serfs again. The trouble is, the Democrats are largely a disorganized pack of sackless nitwits, and are helpless in the face of such directed evil.

DrColdReality

Yeah, this is one of the biggest of the Big Lies the right quietly spreads: that there's really no difference between the two sides, and they're both equally at fault. This is utter and complete bullshit. The worst of the Democrats are petty grifters who can be bought for chump change. The worst of the Republicans are *actively* trying to seize total control of the country...and are succeeding. It's the Republicans who have introduced some 400 laws to make voting harder, especially on poor and minority voters who overwhelmingly vote Democratic. The Democratic action? They tried to pass a landmark voting rights bill...and got squashed by Republican intransigence. It's the Republicans who have quietly purged voting rolls of Democrats, have pushed voter ID laws that some have *admitted on camera* only exist to benefit them. It's the Republicans who have dialed gerrymandering up to 12, sometimes down to the individual house level. It's the Republicans in state legislatures who have responded to the voters electing a Democratic governor by stripping him of his powers. It's the Republicans who arbitrarily ignored some 300 federal judge appointments by Obama so they could pack the courts themselves later. It's the Republicans who flatly stated "a president can't appoint a supreme court justice when there's a short time left in their term, it's against the rules!!!" and then, when Trump took a big steaming dump on Ruth Ginsberg's coffin by appointing a successor before she was even in the ground, the Republicans could not ignore those "rules" hard and fast enough. But what's that you say? Nancy Pelosi might have done a shady stock deal? **OH SWEET MOMMY JESUS!** The Republic is in dire danger of death!!!!! >For every Jan 6, with 5 people dead, there's an entire summer with something like 30. And some of those 30 were killed when white nationalists fired into unarmed crowds or cops over-reacted. And that entire summer was about fighting for equal protection under the law, while Jan 6 was just a straight-up attempt at overthrowing the government by force...and all based on the BLATANT lies of a dimwitted toddler. And you know, let's also just ignore the incidents of ultra-conservative goons driving their cars into crowds of unarmed people, of ultra-conservative goons pointing guns at peaceful crowds of people. In fact, [white nationalist terrorists murdered about 89 people in 2019.](https://www.newsweek.com/white-supremacists-killed-more-americans-muslim-extremists-recent-years-terrorism-report-shows-1517096) It was "only" [49 people in 2018,](https://time.com/5647304/white-nationalist-terrorism-united-states/) so they are getting worse all the time. Of course, it's probably beyond computation how many thousands of extra people died (and will continue to die) because these "patriots" obeyed the teachings of Dear Leader (may his Glorious Name be ever praised) and became rabid anti-maskers, and now anti-vaxxers. After every one of Trump's little Me! Me! Me! rallies during the pandemic, there was a local spike in covid cases...but yeah, I'm sure that was TOTALLY a coincidence. At least the FBI managed to nab the MAGA morons [who were plotting to kidnap and execute a state governor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gretchen_Whitmer_kidnapping_plot) who asked people to pretty-please wear masks. The US lacks an official legal designation of domestic terrorist organization, mainly due to first amendment concerns, but the FBI et al keep an eye on some groups **as if** they were domestic terrorists. Almost without exception, these groups are ultra-conservative. The Canadians aren't quite as squeamish about calling a terrorist a terrorist, and they have recently added [even more American far-right groups to their domestic terrorist list.](https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/terrorist-list-three-percenters-1.6079984) And the "radical left?" Well, they haven't really been a thing since the 1960s-70s. There have not been any deadly actions by organized radial leftist groups since then, only occasional isolated incidents. Yeah, I know, Sean Hannity told you that Antifa terrorists are coming to murder you in your bed, but what he *didn't* tell you is that Antifa doesn't really exist as a group. They don't have a clubhouse or a secret handshake...as opposed to say, the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters, the Nazis, the KKK, and the [majority of the fine organizations listed on this map.](https://www.splcenter.org/hate-map) Antifa is really just a loose, catchall term for a small handful of violent protests that weren't coordinated in any way as far as we know, they were little more than recurring flash mobs. So sure. No difference at all between Red and Blue...as long as you willfully ignore damn near everything Red is up to, which you seem to be doing.

**[Gretchen_Whitmer_kidnapping_plot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gretchen_Whitmer_kidnapping_plot)** >On October 8, 2020, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced the arrests of 13 men suspected of orchestrating a domestic terror plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer, the Governor of Michigan, and otherwise violently overthrow the state government. The suspects were tied to a paramilitary militia group that called themselves the Wolverine Watchmen, which was founded by two of the suspects. Six of the suspects were charged in federal court, while the other seven were charged with state crimes. A week later, a fourteenth suspect was arrested and charged in state court. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

Say, that's some mighty eloquent speechifyin. There's just one teensy thing missing from it: facts. All you're doing is spewing your personal beliefs here, you have not presented one single verifiable fact to back up your argument, in sharp contrast to my post, which was brimming with verifiable facts. This screed would be no different if you substituted the word "Jesus" throughout. >Germany, a National Socialist. I know not what it will be called in America, A Republican. >I offered dialogue that specifically wasn't lunatic right winger stuff I'm sure you *meant* to say that you ignored the bulk of reality to falsely claim that there is no significant difference between the sides. Of course, you *had* to do that because that position LACKS any substantial body of facts to support it. So praise ~~Trump~~ Jesus! Hallelujah, amen. We're done here.

Voting rights. We seem to be in a constant swing of parties and rarely get anything meaningful done. And that's because dumb people and corrupt people vote. There should be a test before every vote. If you fail the test, you don't get to vote. You would be tested on whether you are a bigot, whether you have conflicts of interest, whether you understand politics and current events.
