I'm not sure yall get the joke. It's funny cause 13- 17 year old angsty males in the us have unlimited access to military grade weapons. These bitch ass losers, I mean kids, then take these arms, designed to take out isis and sudam and murder a bunch of 5 year olds with them. Do you get it now?? It's hilarious ! ♥️♥️😂 🤩 ♥️ 🔥🔥🔥

[–] Baylahoo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 20 minutes ago

No, no, no. These weapons pale in comparison to basic infantry in the modern military. Not only are they way overkill for anything a law abiding citizen should ever need for recreation, they would also be useless in the case of a 2nd Amendment related coup of the corrupt government.

"Expat" is my favourite dog whistle. Because "migrant" is only used for brown people, or other undesirable minorities for racists.

[–] Serpent@feddit.uk 21 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I hate the word for the reasons you've said, but I know a lot of black Americans in Portugal that refer to themselves as expats.

Feels to me that the line is drawn along economic privilege lines rather than simply race.

[–] megopie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 31 minutes ago

There’s also this level of like, still identifying as being primarily of the country they’re from, like a rejection of assimilation into the place they’ve moved to. I’m not saying that’s inherently good or bad, but, it’s an interesting dynamic, and an option that a lot of immigrants don’t have.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Wherever white people get mad at black people you hear the word “thug” thrown out a lot and i always wonder if they’re just using that word to substitute another one they’re not allowed to use publicly.

For us latinos it’s immigrant.

[–] Cosmonauticus@lemmy.world 13 points 6 hours ago

This was a troll account. It was a Dutch guy pretending to be MAGA to point out how arrogant Europeans are. He succeed thoroughly

[–] VeryInterestingTable@jlai.lu 68 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Why would you move to the Netherlands if you are MAGA? Isn't your country so much greater again now? You ellected your king and then you left?

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 6 points 6 hours ago

laughs in Dutch politics

[–] jdf038@mander.xyz 26 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah this confuses me to no end. I thought they made America great last election?

[–] pleaseletmein@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

Trump made it great, but Biden and woke already made it so un-great that the greatness hasn’t all trickled down yet.

[–] ChillPenguin@lemmy.world 13 points 7 hours ago

Because they live in a constant state of cognitive dissonance.

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 9 points 6 hours ago

I remember the exact day they closed up the college with fences and the look on the face on the children who started to feel like prisoners. I also remember the day they started to locked all doors but one to inconvenience potential invaders in high school forcing surveillance on who's coming and who going on grown teens.

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 24 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

metal detectors and xray scanning of backpacks made me feel like I was going to prison lol

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 7 points 5 hours ago

Honestly I believe it's to train the younger generation to accept a police state and continuous surveillance.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 8 hours ago (15 children)

I can’t imagine going to school like that bro.

Like is it scary and you always wonder if some lunatic is going to come and shoot it up or no?

I think the most security I ever had was the gates being locked between opening and closing times. This was during primary school. Britain sucks but at least it's not America.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

The truth hurts.

[–] Capricorn_Geriatric@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

Have you heard of "induced demand" courtesy of the FuckCars community?

Well, the same applies to violence.

If you have police on campus people subconsciously expect violence. It's a self-fullfilling prophecy. The more security theatre you add, the more actual security you'll need.

Normalizing shootings by giving them such media attention also doesn't help, if the prospective shooter craves it. Neither does the fact that it occupies a large part of the US public consciousness.

Some kids do it because others have already, and because school shootings are such a hot media topic.

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 38 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Because we don't have regular mass shootings in schools because we don't give every single person the money for a ticket to a gun show a gun and where we do, we legislate that they keep their gun in a gun safe. You know, like the rest of the world...or the USA in 1792.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 59 points 10 hours ago (24 children)

It's not JUST the guns tbh. Everyone in Switzerland has a gun and they don't shoot eachother up. American society is fucked up on multiple different levels and the guns are just adding extra fuel and oxygen to a forest fire.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 24 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Whenever i mention the Swiss having as many guns as the US, if not more, and yet the former has practically zero mass shooting incidents, and pointed out the problem of America is cultural, Americans tend to turn a blind eye to it.

[–] modus@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Because a gun is cheaper than mental healthcare.

[–] arcterus@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 minutes ago

It's more than just mental healthcare. American society is just broken in so many ways.

Who the fuck emigrates to Europe as a hardcore American fascist? Seriously? What the actual fuck?

[–] sparky@lemmy.federate.cc 2 points 2 hours ago

I’m an American living in the EU, and I’m surprised by that. All the other American immigrants I’ve met so far have been opposed to Trump and Republicans generally. I always figured the conservatives were likely to be buying into AmErIcA iS tHe BeSt propaganda and would thus be uninterested in moving to another country.

Lily (MAGA)

expat in Amsterdam

Can someone tell this bitch to go back to where she came from?

[–] kadaverin0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 hours ago

We don't want her back. Throw her into the sea and let nature take its course.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 195 points 13 hours ago (10 children)

For those unaware, an expat is an immigrant, but white.

Shots fired

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 52 points 12 hours ago (4 children)

As a Canadian, I would very much like some sort of barrier between my country and the United States. We've got our own brand of crazy up here and have absolutely no need to import any junk from the USA.

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 58 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

Build a wall, make the USA pay for it

(Kidding, mostly.)
