Seems like a good time to bring up something that surprised me recently:

The wikipedia article for Apollo 11 mentions this song but does not mention the budget or final cost for the program anywhere in that big honkin’ article

Lol “dunking on America”. Nobody hates America more than Americans…

hmm not sure

for sure my hate for the USA is sincere, pure and strong. And i’m not American (thanks god!)

Nobody hates America more than Americans…

I assure you, billions of people would rejoice if america was razed off the face of the earth

Nobody hates America more than Americans…

liberals always forgetting that non-westerners are people.

Off the top of my head 🇨🇺 🇰🇵 🇮🇶 🇦🇫 (I’ve been listening to Blowback). Either you are ignorant or the people of these countries that have all seen no less than a million dead each at 's sword have more patience than you can imagine from any American. After writing it out maybe you’re right.

That’s mostly what we’re doing, tbf

Nobody hates America more than Americans

Actually I can think of several nations that hate America more than Americans and for good reason

The most Amero-centric view imaginable

Nobody hates America more than Americans…

I know. I live there.

It’s like going to an orphanage and making fun of the kids for not having nicer things.

Except I live in that “orphanage” and it terrorizes the rest of the world with its foreign policy.

Try to dunk on our shitty politicians creating and sustaining these problems if you want to do some good for a change.

I not only regularly dunk on the shitty politicians, but their bourgeois benefactors as well.

if you want to do some good for a change.

if I want to do some good I’m going to need to do a lot more than just “dunk,” and I’m gonna need a lot of help. El pueblo, unido, jamas sera vencido

As always, death to America

boycotts are a useful tool in concert with an organized political movement (like BDS or a striking workers union) but can be counterproductive on their own:

The revolution will not be bought: Ethical consumption is seductive but dangerous to the values ethical consumers seek to promote

In short, a strong belief that ethical consumption will lead to ethical practices is not warranted – purchasing as voting is a weak feedback mechanism at best and there are other actors who are able to influence the system. The danger, however, comes in believing that this mechanism can make substantial political change. Ethical consumption gives the individual the illusion of contributing to progress; of “doing their part” by making purchasing decisions. This illusion can detract, and probably has detracted, from trying to put forward an avowedly political agenda that seeks to mobilise people collectively to make the changes they support. Instead, it individualises ethics, it individualises politics and it reaffirms us as consumers rather than citizens – it is a part of the profit-maximising, pathologically-externalising neoliberal market system that has caused many of the problems ethical consumerism seeks to alleviate, rather than being an alternative.

youre a fucking genius. you’re so god damn smart

Death to America

What do you think should be done? And does it involve organizing a campaign to boycott every large company in existence as its first priority? Just to have a moral high ground?

and I assume Virgin

No, I think I’d remember if I bought anything from you.

You can’t buy a candy bar in this country without facilitating child slavery in the global south. You expect people living paycheck to paycheck to vote with their wallet and defeat capitalism?

Jesus.

Amazon defeated their entire fucking purpose.

I had prime. I used to be able to get some things in maybe two days. Now most of the shit you order says prime shipping but then shows up a week later.

So then why bother, because the shipping is free? I’ve gone back to Newegg for a lot of electronic stuff just because it doesn’t even matter anymore and I’d rather support someone else every now and again.

And then he would have gone and made three god-tier bangers in a single setting
