    Honestly cheap gas is nice but sometimes it annoys me that the messaging for the American populace is “gas fer yer truck gonna cost more dollars” like IDF and American soldiers metaphorically and literally raping and killing en masse for decades in the Middle East isn’t worth focusing the message on… We could start with that, before talking about a fucking gas station???

      American exceptional is prevents them from seeing their actions affect the whole planet. They’re better, the rest of us are inferior.

      If you give Americans a button which gives them 5 dollars but kills every brown person on earth they’ll mash the button half a second after you’re done explaining.

        “When you press this button, a random brown person dies, but…”

        Americans begin shooting each other to be the one mashing the button

      Gas prices have a clear material impact on everyone in Carland’s daily lives. Conflict in the Middle East is too abstract and carries the baggage of propaganda for most Americans.
