You have to realize American culture and society is one based on greed and selfishness. We're bombarded with the philosophy that we should all be Rugged Individualists, or Got Mine, F@#k You. The Powers That Be think everything is transactional, and everything should have a monetary cost. Selfishness is a virtue, kindness is weakness, and empathy is for women and the weak. So, dump grandma in a nursing home with employees being paid $10 an hour, and go live your best life! YOLO!

That said, not all Americans are this, or believe these things, at least no consciously. But it's all pervading in our culture.

That said, fuck Putin.

Fuck Putin. Hopefully he'll get what he deserves, soon. At the hands of his oligarchs.

How the hell do you figure that? They were the only ones who would be of any worth.

This. We weren't harsh or thorough enough at eradicating Nazis. The collaborators, the sympathizers, the cowards who changed their names to escape. Now we're living with the consequences.
