    First, I live in the US, so not sure where you’re going with that.
    Second, nice straw man. No one said Americans were evil, people said the news is often distressing and backwards.
    Third, it doesn’t matter when it’s from when your argument was “America would never assail disability rights!”. An article about recent efforts by active politicians to rollback our biggest protections speaks to that. In any case, here’s a more recent article on the topic: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/midterm-elections-republicans-disabled-community_n_6375a759e4b0afce046aefef

    Four, you’re entirely lacking in nuance or a sense of humor, and seen incapable of distinguishing a joke from “all Americans are evil”, which is definitely a way to live, but not a very productive one if you ask me.

        You’ve literally had it explained to you a dozen times in this thread.

        “America seems to be backsliding policy wise, and other countries seem to be implementing extremely pleasant policies. The contrast is absurd”.

        It’s a “joke”.

          All I’ve seen are excuses, insults, and childish nonsense comments.

          It’s a “joke”.

          No shit. And I’m saying it’s a stupid joke.

            You mean to tell me I just read all of that because you think a joke is stupid? Is this a bad day or a typical afternoon in your household?
