You live in the US, how are you not being bribed to think the way you do?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

In fairness the statement is consistent. The US government does it's damndest to do nothing what so ever for the citizens of the us.

Maybe the US should start "bribing" with infrastructure projects then, I thought they were all about their soft power or whatever

You know the US is upstanding because it won't even bribe its own citizens by giving them anything that would improve their lives no matter how hard they vote. True democracy!

Maybe the US should try bribing people instead of bombing them

The nefarious Chinese are tricking people into supporting them by checks notes improving their material conditions.

Thank God I live in America where I'll never have to worry about the government doing that.
