This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

The student loan situation in the US is a great example of how truly shitty the country is beneath its mask of liberal democracy do-goodery. Basically punishing young people for believing in higher education and turning them into a decades long source of revenue.
Then there's the healthcare system. So bad somebody whacked a health insurance CEO and people were like "yeah, that makes sense."
Or the food quality. Poorly regulated, sugar and salt is the answer to damn near everything.
So the US doesn't value education, it doesn't value healthcare, it doesn't value food quality. What the fuck does it value that actually matters to the wellbeing of people? I'm inclined to think the only thing that stops the country from being unbearably terrible to live in for the majority of people is all the workers who do well intentioned work in spite of the bullshit systems they're tangled up in that make their work harder. But they need to realize they don't need those bullshit systems, never have, and they can create a system based on humane principles. They have to take power seriously first though.
tv, sports, religion, and drugs are what keep america going. Its bread and circuses but they do a double dose of circuses because bread is too much work.
Yep, when I graduate, I'm going to be paying them off for at least 20 years I bet you.
My sympathies. It really is awful.
