The average person is not deeply aware of this stuff. All y’all don’t have any fucking clue what the average American is like.

Most people are just trying to get through the day. They want to pay their bills and make sure the kids are fed and Sally needs to get to dance class and Bobby has been having problems at school and now the boss wants to get that foundation poured tomorrow so you’re gonna have to stay late, but your wife can’t leave work early to pick up the kids so now you have to deal with that and oh, eggs cost double what they did a year ago and you haven’t gotten a real raise since 2021.

They don’t have time to spend on Lemmy, figure out how to use Linux, learn what a tariff is, or debate the difference between gender and sex, or read about what the Heritage Foudnation does. I do, but I’m not most people and the more y’all keep acting like those people aren’t like you people the more problems you’re gonna keep making for yourself.

Grow the fuck up

If they didn't have kids because it was "the next step" in life they would have time.

Ah, the Greek prime minister visited a wanted war criminal yesterday, Hungary invited said wanted war criminal yesterday and Germanies capital declared the capital of the wanted war criminal as a partner city yesterday.

That was just one day. The EU is also a rogue organization.
