“Dear America: You are waking up, as Germany once did, to the awareness that 1/3 of your people would kill another 1/3 while 1/3 watches.”—Incorrectly attributed to Werner Herzog but just some random person on the internet it seems.
Still the quote makes sense even without the appeal to authority
Thanks, TheReturnOfPEB for correcting me
Only this time instead of a silly mustache model, we have a cheeto baked rolley-polley.
TIL updated my post to reflect that
Nah. America had Nazis in the 30s too. We’re immune to the most rabid varieties of fascism and authoritarianism because they don’t produce all the cool products Americans demand.
Americans might be plagued with racism and bigotry, but we’re way too lazy and invested in our own lives for a coup. Literally our bread and circuses are way too good.

Oh hey I think I’m in this picture.
Are you the styrofoam cup
And then the red second someone from Europe cracks wise about it, all of them descend upon the poor healthcare haver like a pack of rabid wolves.
For how capable we are of recognizing and hating our own problems, we are equally incapable of hearing about them from anyone else without punching said anyone else in the face for talking shit.
Salutes flag, sheds patriotic tear, admires eagle screeching while spreading its wings before the majestic sunset
I still feel like half of the time the people from Europe are using it as an opportunity to pat themselves on the back for something they were born into. (I can make this criticism because I’m from there)
And ignoring the fact that they just elected a political party that wants to eliminate the very thing they’re bragging about, because an immigrant might be able to afford a doctor.
Trust me, i’m not patting myself anywhere. I live in Italy.
Well the one thing that would make this picture an absolutely perfect representation of America is if there was a TV in the background saying “American People, the American People want to take your money and give it to American People! American People are trying to destroy America! Only we can save America!”
Fucking propagandists are the cause of this whole picture and I fucking hate them with a passion.
Europeans and Americans are natural enemies. Just like Americans and Russians. And Americans and Americans. Damn Americans! You ruined America!
The
AmericanpeopleGotta hand it to the politicians and the media. After that Occupy Wallstreet business, they got to work real quick turning Americans against each other. Successful.
Oh right, it’s not like we fought a civil war over a hundred years before that, and to this day there are still people here flying the losing sides flag. We’ve been turning on each other a long time. It’s an American tradition at this point.
Turns out that people, in general, are intellectually bankrupt and very easy to manipulate.
Ah yes, united.
Being miserable and treating other people like dirt is every N̶e̶w̶ ̶Y̶o̶r̶k̶e̶r̶ American’s God-given right.
Just balkanize already
Europa: staring fascisticly from a distance.
Europa: staring from a distance of anywhere between 365 and 601 million miles away…
Broke: my phone autocorrecting to the German spelling.
Bespoke: Your clever joke.
Thank you, I appreciate it :)
Get your popcorn, Europe.
The American People?
