This post is more reasonable and well written than plenty of stuff I have seen from actual right wingers. I worry when people cosplay too hard, sometimes it becomes real.

It’s more machine now than man. Twisted and evil.

The US still promotes dictatorships around the world, and in Latin America specifically, while claiming to promote democracy. There isn’t even that much democracy at home.

The narcissist’s prayer definitely applies to the country that elected Trump, as it does to Trump himself.

This is not redneck engineering, it’s how evening is attached to walls in the US as far as I can see. An ugly hole in drywall, and cover the rough edges with trim. I’m not sure what else you are looking for.

Something outside the wall could use minimal wood working and nails or command strips.

You mention you like picture frame mounts, so why don’t you use picture frames? You can get some used stuff for very cheap at Goodwill. Or get wood trim at home depot and cut to size.

Anything that’s not visible gets the glue gun treatment.

Immigration is complicated, and you are thinking only of “legal” immigration. It is extremely common for people to ignore those laws. And a job is not always required, no.

You (generic you) don’t need to really emigrate to a country to receive treatment, you could go with a tourist visa or visa free and get treated, then go back to the shitty country without universal healthcare where you live.

In my home country everyone has access to healthcare because it’s a human right, so by law it doesn’t matter what your immigration status is, you will get care. This includes cancer treatment, for free.

You don’t have to be rich, it takes a couple thousand dollars, the problem is to not become homeless afterwards…

Uh, what? Most Catholics aren’t circumcised, that’s an American thing.

Thank you, that guy is so bigoted he didn’t realize I was calling him out.

Maybe you’re just a bigot.

Why is it shameful to be behind Namibia and Costa Rica?

In the US a lot of workers don’t get paid if they don’t show up to work because they have no paid time off.

In the US they often combine sick days and vacation days, so if you miss work while sick, you are using your vacation days, which are very limited.

Then you should do some reading. Latin America is the most urban region in the world.

We have small pockets with high density like Santiago. It has 1/3 of the population of NYC but 150% of the population density. And NYC is by far the densest US city.

The result of this is wide swaths of nature, I grew up used to seeing no buildings or anything else man made all the way to the horizon. When approaching my hometown we would first see the city glow, because you get actual darkness out in the country. In the US’ lower 48 only part of Oregon and Nevada get close to that.

Of course now US companies are once again trying to destroy our land with careless mining.
