If there’s one thing America has shown us all, it’s that the entire country is built on little more than propaganda and virtue signals.
Millions in the military swear an oath to defend the constitution yet obey illegal orders and commit war crimes without question. Whistle blowers are a rare statistical anomaly, despite committing thousands of domestic and international crimes against humanity stretching back centuries.
Americans believe they live in a democracy while living under what is functionally equivalent to corporate dictatorship, ruled by the most criminally corrupt sociopaths, psychopaths, and pedophiles of all developed economies; having far fewer freedoms, lower quality of life, and less economic mobility… with police who repeatedly operate like a domestic terrorist paramilitary force (on behalf of private enterprise) for the countries entire existence.

I don’t think one can phrase it better than this. Propaganda, gaslighting, manipulation, and yelling so loud about how holy we all are that any criticism is drowned out. A nation in psychosis.
I hope this strike happens. Just from seeing FIFA catering to Trump, alone, I want their event to fail. I know the strike won’t entirely do that, but it could help.

Its the land of contradictions. They say they defend democracy, while having basically a oligarchy. They say god bless this and that, they preach christian virtues, while ignoring the vast majority of the “good” book. Their police slogan is to protect and to serve, but omit the “owning class and property” from that slogan. The famous southern hospitality is just a facade and at best limited to kind words and apple pies. They say they have freedom, while complaining about not being able to protest and protect their freedoms because they cant afford it.
Its such a weird place. Strong stockholm syndrome vibes. Lots of brainwashing.
And for any Americans reading this, I have many American friends who I speak to daily and they are wonderful people stuck in a bad place and at a horrible time. They are not ignorant or stupid. I know you are good people, individually. Of course there is exceptions. I’m not saying these things out of hatred or whatever.

Don’t threaten just do.
That would be grand. Slap ICE and FIFA in the face at the same time, not many people have a opportunity to do something so wonderful.
Agree! Do!

Fucking do it.
It’d be funny if they went on strike and in response ICE had to staff the stadium.
My presumption is that’s exactly what would happen
they aint doing shit
No more bread, no more circuses
