    Americans have been selectively bred and conditioned to follow orders and be nice over many generations. Sounds horrible, but they’ve effectively been turned into domesticated cattle.

    Successfully? Probably not fully, since more and more are waking up. Or at least protesting. But still scarry as hell how close US governments got.

      And permanently exhausted from all the sugar added to food that politicians get lobbied into doing nothing against. Hell, going into a Mexican grocery store, you’ll see stop-sign shaped warnings that say “Excessive sucre” or something like that. Like, we’ve got the warnings on cigarettes, but that’s about it. The US doesn’t care about public health except when it’s to shill more products :/

      I’ve been saying this for the longest time. The Americans who ended the first Gilded age and elected the two Roosevelts will be rolling on their graves for seeing their descendants being so complacent.
