    My whole arse life has been a decline aloneside the diminishing returns as the boomer fools gobble it all up and resent us. It is not hard to imagine I wish I was never born. Abortions for all.

      If you’re miserable you should leave. Australia welcomes Americans and the standard of living is much better, even Canada, UK, get out while you still can. I don’t know how Americans endure it while their passport is still semi powerful

        Don’t know abt Aus but Americans can’t just resettle in Canada. They need to immigrate like every other poor world sod if they want to stay here and work / get benefits permanently.

          One flavor of American exceptionalism is assuming they can just go anywhere in the world to live for the price of a ticket.

        It’s not like Australia doesn’t have its own problems with cost of living, being essentially still a colony of the US Empire, etc. It’s a global empire that has global effects, and just moving doesn’t solve anything.

          God why the fuck are you cunts downvoting me I was just trying to help. Sometimes as an individual you need to focus on making sure that you’re okay before trying to fix the world’s problems.

            Your being downvoted (by me at least) because I don’t want more of america exporting its sick culture and bad attitudes to Australia. It’s bad enough that every channel is chock-a-block with US crime dramas, and locally-made movies need to have an american lead to be considered for development. I want less american accents in my life, not more. Americans should stay in the shithole mess they created and work on fixing it, thank you very much.
