It was right around the time he got shot and made that fake fist pump. Also when he started considering that scum bag - obama a friend.

Murica, land of the free, was founded by people who owned slaves. While speaking about the evils of slavery.

So the madness was always there.

The US is just Helldivers 2 in real life. A democracy managed by Elon Musk and people ready to die for „liberty“, „prosperity“ and „freedom“.

We live in a country that was stolen then we stole some other people so they could do the work for us. Then conquering half a continent wasn’t good enough for us, so we went around ruining other places if they didn’t want to give us all their stuff. If people think we only recently crossed a line, I’d generously hope they were just ignorant because the alternative is horrific. Every piece of the past is a step that got us to where we are.

I’m starting to think the same thing, if you go over US foreign policy since WW2 it is almost like the mask is just coming off entirely now.

America did a lot of bad stuff, to put it mildly. This is definitely something else though.

I agree, that’s what I mean by it just going mask off, there’s no pretending about a probable cause of higher moral path etc this time.

It's not analogy, it's allegory. It applies too well to the world.

Europe after stopping fighting the most brutal and effective wars for centuries:

You're sure you want us back? We'll be united this time too.

Legend says it started with Trump getting a dirty sanchez in a Moscow brothel.

I will draw you, Donald, as poison is drawn from a wound.
