    America as a nation can in fact tolerate casualties, too many in fact

    the USSR lost 20 million people in WWII, the US lost 250k. we've been crying about 3,000 people from 9/11 for nearly two decades. most americans don't know what it means to suffer, they don't know what mass casualties looks like; we're the softest jelly donuts around.

      Don't forget, China lost the second largest amount of people in WWII.

      We are not just the softest jelly donuts but we are the most uncaring and beaten down bunch. Each person dying from covid is too many and the fact we aren't in the streets demanding these assholes be hanged says a lot.
