    Because it’s high time Americans wake the fuck up from thier slumber and realize that the US is the equivalent of a homeless, toothless, smelly, dying junkie wearing a brand new Gucci belt.

    The appeal is to be cheeky, dig it in, and popularize the notion of knocking the chip off of American shoulders, rattling their cages, and normalizing the world view amongst 1st world countries and educated immigrants that the US is actually a place to be avoided.

    The United States [edit - never mind I stand by this, deleted edit] is overwhelmingly a predatory nation against its own citizenry.

    That’s my take.

      Lol, well I didn’t mean specifically “tell me you’re from the US” just the general phrase “tell me X without telling me X”.

      And can confirm that plenty of Americans aren’t thrilled with how things are run in America. We’re running democracy v0.1 beta

        Someone said it on Twitter once so I suppose it’s stuck. I find it a bit long-winded and all.
