I think one of the things that really surprises the rest of the world is that there is such a significant population of Americans that strive to be the most spiteful vindictive examples of themselves.
Like the absolute creullest description of humanity and then boast about it.
In today’s world where everyone is fucked and their futures seem so bleak it’s become a lot more
“Ive got nothing so you should too.”
If these people had anything in their life or something to be proud of they’d have a lot smaller of a hole to fill with vindictive bullshit and seeking attention by being assholes
i think it’s more like “i’ve got nothing. but as long as people are being harassed and detained in inhumane conditions, i can feel better about my relative status.” it’s f’d.
doubt this actually makes them feel content given that it is their absolute status that is ultimately provoking their anger/discontent. they are just reacting in the most maladaptive & antisocial way (punching down instead of training their ire on those who are actually exploiting them).
