    Communists, go live in Russia if you think America is so bad. I will take my good quality of life in capitalist America over any communist shithole all the live long day.

    Communism is only good for impractical fantasy ideas and authoritarian shitholes. Prove me wrong if you can.

    On the surface it seems like these comparisons are valid, but there’s truly a world of difference in how America deals with its people.

    The fact still remains that skilled immigrants can come to America and make a life for themselves. It doesn’t matter who they are. Or that non-white or non-Christians can get elected to the U.S. congress.

    America started out with an idealism it’s failing to live up to, and it’s the fault of those who indulge realpolitiks over that idealism. This isn’t an America problem, there’s a rot that’s taken over the soul of humanity. We’re casting aside intellectualism and enlightenment for realpolitiks.

    Make no mistake though, people cannot be trusted so you always have to protect yourself. But there’s no civilization without ideals for humanity.

        I’d love to know why some folks downvoted me. I’m an American and have seen it from California to Minnesota to Maine. It’s not an insult to the US. It’s an insult to human beings.
