we've been abandoned by our government (not that they cared anyways), and we're forced to go to work because of that fact. Individualism and american exceptionalism has poisoned the country, no one gives a fuck about each other, and we're all gonna fucking die because of some fucking rich colonials that thought we were special
Me too, this is the ultimate manifestation of the "percentage small enough that I can write it off" sort of mentality that has been pervasive in America for a while now, the same attitude that let us just passively accept all the people already dying without healthcare and all the homeless people and other horrible shit happening in the country. If it's a small enough percentage, and that percentage is drawn from the people at the margins of society, it's fine. Evil shit.
