Thank you for this comparison. That’s a fun one and one that’s made a little more ‘subtle’ in the US if only because of how common that language is among the populace in regions and how pervasive protestantism is in advertising/messaging.

But why do you despise it? I’ve heard criticism for Americans taking ‘American’ when there are many many more countries in The Americas and have yet to see the term above until now, but it doesn’t bother me any.

We don’t ‘punish and make an example’ out of children in civilized society.

We educate them, allow for reform. Until the child has a mostly formed prefrontal cortex, they shouldn’t receive ‘adult’ type consequences. They literally are not developed enough mentally to grasp all of life’s rights and wrongs. That’s not to say they don’t have a gauge of morality, or some concept of what they think Right is, it’s just not all the way fleshed out and their poor stupid neuron-developing brain doesn’t fire the way it’s going to later in life.

You’re making tons of assumptions and then holding those assumptions as the same as fact. I’ve known a few friends and family that have gone to the military, and I say this with love to those people, they were all dumb. They all now regret having served, or at least regret having served in order to attain the benefits they now gain for having sold themselves to the US, and only one of them (of say maybe 8) has learned anything about the history of the US or the symbols often used throughout.

What ‘tells you’ he knew? Where is the ‘clearly into Nazi history’ coming from? What part of the US schooling covered the various nazi symbols? Because none of those were something I’d have recognized as anything other than ‘military, Fuck Yeah!’ tattoos as a 20 year old.

Please look into his politics. This latest push feels so weird to discredit the guy.

He said 'I was in the military, fresh dumb child, got a tattoo with some friends, it’s a common style, didn’t think anything of it.

Then I was told it was nazi related

AND I GOT IT COVERED WITHIN WEEKS OF BEING TOLD’

I don’t know man, that sounds like a pretty genuine attempt. Are you running for office somewhere to make things better? If not, are you advocating for candidates based on 3 click bait articles or are you actually looking into their actions and policy ideas?

I don’t know what you just said, but I didn’t like it

I don’t think the people downvoting know that there’s really people out here putting American craft singles slices on their spaghetti. I should know, I’m related to a couple of them. Seen it a good chunk of my life, almost always in poorer homes, from the southern US and a few times here in the midwest.
