America 🇺🇸 is going down the tubes, the older generations don’t seem to realize this. Every Baby Boomer I have come across still thinks America 🇺🇸 is #1 and is THE GREATEST country in the World. INSTEAD of fixing the problems in America 🇺🇸 like we should, we are run by a 2 party system without giving much thought to libertarians and independents.
The Boomers seem to not care that they’re raising prices and every time you explain that to them they just tell you “just get a job!” That would be like going to the middle of the Sahara desert 🏜️ and telling it to “rain.” Making $5.00 per hour back in the 70s is as equivalent to making $45.00 per hour today. The Boomers and Silent Generation promoted college at the top of their 🫁 lungs without telling young people what the best options are.
The young people don’t seem to care either, the millennials and Gen Z people seem to have the “I don’t care 🤷🏻” attitude. Young people are increasingly looking up to their YouTube celebrities and other celebrities, no form of alternative entertainment is brought forth because you have to know where to look 👀. Pop, Rap and Hiphop is blasted everywhere and not many people blast Metal 🤘🏻 and Rock 🎸 anymore, it’s sad and depressing.
To make things worse, private businesses and commercial business 🧑💼keep stomping on the First Amendment. Have you noticed that at work, your Freedom of Speech immediately goes out the door. Your boss has the right to tell you “you can’t say that” “that’s not acceptable” “if you say that one more time, you’re fired.” But yet if someone screams and yells at you at work or outside work it’s “free speech.” Such hypocrisy exists guys, it’s unreal how people get their free speech rights taken away but then it’s viewed as “free speech” for someone else.
My question 🙋♂️ is this: When are we gonna do something about this?
I think you should pay more attention. There were a bunch of people outside today. Republicans have been loosing every special election since Rump was swarn in again. People are working on how they can.
Well, okay, first, a point of order: ‘Free Speech’, as outlined in the First Amendment, simply means that the government can’t persecute you for saying things they don’t like. The First Amendment has no bearing, or jurisdiction, on private businesses.
Not that our government hasn’t been violating the First Amendment too, of course. But that wasn’t what you were ranting about.
And were we ever up the tubes? I mean, I suppose we were, and still are, if you consider white rich male landowners to be the only ‘America’ that counts… which they certainly seem to believe…
But for everyone else it’s always been kind of a shithole, let’s be honest. For some more than others, of course.
What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciations of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade, and solemnity, are, to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy—a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices, more shocking and bloody, than are the people of these United States, at this very hour.
(That’s Frederick Douglas’ 4th of July speech btw)
I thought I used too much emojis but look at this lmao
Yeah it looks like my boomer uncle wrote it on Facebook.
