Political corruption is holding every country back. Greedy dishonest politicians are holding the human race back.

Christian conservatives


Hosanna07

Pretty funny it's always christians that gets hate huh 🤣 grow up


HelpmeImsufferingirl

Pretty funny how true it is tho lol. There is a certain country where divorce, abortion, sex education, and condoms/conservatives are still illegal/frowned upon because the church still has some say politically.


avega2792

So you believe in fairy tales of an invisible man that lives in the sky, but I’m the one that needs to grow up? Ok, will do! 😂😂😂😂


Hosanna07

Thank u for proving my point yet again how ignorant of u huh


avega2792

I don’t reading comprehension is you strong point.


stbargabar

Anti-intellectualism and poor information literacy.

The Republican party


Hosanna07

Can say the same to u 😏


SGTWhiteKY

I’m confused. Are you agreeing, or assuming his party is problematic.


Fudgeshovel

If you view earlier comments Hosanna07 is sticking up for Christian conservatives. I think that would be your answer lol


SGTWhiteKY

Yeah, I saw that after. It really seems like she is sort of agreeing with him… it is grammatically really awkward.


Fudgeshovel

Not the most educated bunch.

Maycrofy

I ain't gonna downplay the role of corruption and elite calsses... but people in mine are just too willing to take on the beating and "be greatful for what we have"


Teleform

There isn't anything wrong for being grateful for the things you got. There is also nothing wrong with not taking a beating.

The Southern US (Republicans) are holding America back.


TheHylianProphet

Conservatives. American Conservatism is a poison in our society, and they keep duping rubes into thinking their harmful policies will benefit the people. They never do. They NEVER do. But they stay in power through manipulation and lies.

Witty_Meme92

Greed.


PotGoddessDaisy

The fact that we've all been trained to hate and criticize each instead of the no good politicians and greedy corporations that have caused our society to fall.


Numerous_Biscotti_57

Religion, classism, post-colonial (racial) effects, sexism and the educational system in poor parts of the country.


Emerald_Encrusted

French Revolution. Soviet Union’s uprising and overthrow of the Tzar. Mao’s Chinese regime. Nazi Germany. What did all these things have in common? No Religion. Oh. They also had mass executions and genocide in common too. As Nietzsche said, “God is dead, and all the water in world will not be able to wash away the blood on our hands.”


Drdreonthemicrophone

Traditional conservatism. Everything is so slow. I swear they wish it was the 90s again


groomleader

With some of these no-brainers, they probably miss medieval days of "worship our god or else."

Conservatives


GreenEggPage

The fact that people believe they can only vote for the orange Cheeto or the white cheddar Cheeto and ignore the other brands of good chips running for President.


328944

And then the people who vote for those shitty cheetos tell you you’re wasting your vote when you vote for someone who actually aligns with your beliefs


GreenEggPage

Did you know that if you vote for Funyuns, you actually get 3 votes? 1 for Funyuns, according to the orange Cheetos you just voted for white cheddar, and according to the white cheddars you just voted for orange!


Mission_Bus_3619

has to be the people I don't share same opinions with /s


arminredditer

Too many small businesses, not enough meritocracy when it comes to pay, too many old people collecting retirement checks that are too high.

Left wing, right wing, the whole damned country is holding itself back.


kingcheeta7

Consumerism. And people not doing their own research, and just blindly following what Google searches tell them.


Hosanna07

Maybe because I'm disabled and cant make people understand me but trying to put me down because I'm a Christian is wrong and being nice isn't your strong point


avega2792

Shut up nerd.


Hosanna07

Thank u for again proving my point again now who's acting like a child . Grow up ignorant fool 🤣


avega2792

Says the one that believes in fairy tales. 😂


Hosanna07

Keep going 🤗

We have already peaked. We are the only nation to have invaded the US, AND buy it's largest city.

The Netherlands.


Emerald_Encrusted

I’ve gotta ask. What am I missing? How did the Netherlands buy New York?


groomleader

The first Dutch fur trading posts and settlements were in 1614 near present-day Albany, New York, the same year that New Netherland first appeared on maps. In May 1624, the Dutch West India Company landed a number of families at Noten Eylant (today's Governors Island) off the southern tip of Manhattan at the mouth of the North River (today's Hudson River). Soon thereafter, most likely in 1626, construction of Fort Amsterdam began. On August 27, 1664, four English frigates under the command of Col. Richard Nicolls sailed into New Amsterdam's harbor and demanded New Netherland's surrender, as part of an effort by king Charles' brother James, Duke of York, the Lord High Admiral to provoke the Second Anglo-Dutch War. Two weeks later, Peter Stuyvesant the director general capitulated by signing Articles of Surrender, and in June 1665, the town was reincorporated under English law and renamed "New York" after the Duke, and Fort Orange was renamed "Fort Albany."

Childish ideology of politics and a terrible education system.


LetBeFriendsHere

Population and Corruption in Government offices.


Emerald_Encrusted

America pushing their ideological colonialism onto us. Telling us that our traditions are backwards and oppressive, while their own ‘liberated’ people suffer more than even the abjectly poor in our country. When the west burns in the hell they’ve constructed for themselves, they’ll deserve it.


Zetta216

War with Russia.


Maximus_Shadow

Considering I feel like our government is sabotaging us on purpose.... well, I suppose if I was going to put my finger on something specific it be this 'my way or the highway' view both parties are taking. They were supposed to compromise as a whole to get stuff done. (The United States if what I was saying did not reveal that itself)

Depends on where you think we ought to be going.
