Everyone also seems to be missing the house of lords lol. Lifetime appointments (not elected), spots for the church of england, and a whole punch of hereditary peers. Amazingly democratic upper house there.
It's the same with the "forgotten war" (Korea). The tragedy there isn't the slaughter in Korea but the fact that US vets don't get the same societal admiration that WW2 or Vietnam vets do 😢 .
My favorite is IMF/World Bank who are depicted as shady boggiemen that keep the world poor for America’s capitalist interests.
Yeah they are wrong! The IMF are actually puppets of Japan as Japan donates the most to them. They are secretly trying to make imperial Japan again but through investing in developing nations! Truly evil
I refuse to go through the mental anguish of interacting with these people, but
I don't think the Japan thing is even true, and
This is a child's understanding of the function of the IMF.
There are people in that very reddit thread trying to argue that the Iraq war somehow can't be connected with 9/11. Why do I hurt myself reading this shit?
Underestimating Russia. Same commenter later on: "No, Russia can’t invade the US. Their military is weak. But they interfered in our elections and have helped divide our country with disinformation. They even had a puppet as our president who is still lying and dividing us and undermining our democracy. They have done more harm to our country with propaganda than they ever could with bullets."
Didn't legalise weed.
"Not being a party-builder"
Didn't convince RBG to retire.
These people certainly have their priorities right. There are people lower down mentioning drone strikes and other things, but a really telling top 5 in my opinion.
Never heard of this subreddit before. Look at this abomination: https://www.reddit.com/r/decadeology/comments/1anovfa/decades_sorted_by_their_cultural_aesthetics/
