The SNAFU is global. Can we see more conspiracies to do with countries that AREN'T America? You're not the only ones with problems.

What about sweatshops operated by american interests, where people subsist on 72 cents an hour?

What about the mining operations in South Africa, or the farms in India?

Americans don't want to see the USA turn into a third world country, but what about the actual third world countries, and what about the commonwealth countries and their predicaments?

If you aren't receiving any information on other areas of the world, perhaps find the websites for the newspapers of other countries and add them to your rss, or combine the reddits for different countries if you're lazy. There's no excuse for not having a global scope when you have internet access.

So, let me get this straight... you want everyone else in this subreddit to research your interests for you?

YOU are just as much in control of what gets posted here as anyone else.

I want people think more before posting superfluous fluff, nothing more nothing less, and you're right, good point.

Right iownacat.... Sweatshops run by Nike and GAP aren't fluff, and to be honest I think you've consciously put "superfluous fluff" in a different context. I was responding directly to someone else with it.

I'm not bitching either, that's not constructive. I'm pointing out a wider scope of perspective.

Then how about you see to it that what YOU want gets accomplished, instead of critiquing a largely American user base for analyzing the corruption of the worlds most dominant military superpower on the planet?

One man's fluff is another man's treasure.

Do work, son! I just want to have more people in the news to suspect and resent. Find me some!

I don't care where they come from, I just like to sit back and hate them for being in control.

2  porvidacs 2013-03-13

HAHA, don't worry, I feel EXACTLY the same way. I'm here for information, not to sit in judgment.

-2  SHAGGSTaRR 2013-03-13

That's the most self entitled bullshit I've read this week.

4  firematt422 2013-03-13

I'm being facetious. Redditors are so touchy...

1-- You can post your own articles.

2-- Sorry everyone is being a big jerk to you.

Definitely, I know what you're saying, it just irks me when skimming this sub is all "sky is falling" stuff, which is to be expected, but "THE END OF AMERICA!!!".. Come on. America ended being the collectives country when the native Indians were holocausted, and it ended again when the Federal reserve was introduced and now we're diagnosing a further complications introduced by the culprit parasites.

I also appreciate that you might think I'm dismissing America, too. I don't mean to do that, at all. The OP text could do with hilighting that what I mean is all political double binds are equally noteworthy, because they probably stem from the same power brokers as American issues.

2  SHAGGSTaRR 2013-03-13

Just to be crystal clear, by parasites I specifically mean banking families.

1  goofylilwayne 2013-03-13

well if you look at cultures and cities around the world, most of them have been inundated with products from america. USA was the latest attempt at world domination and now a lot of people have been realizing this. No wonder a lot of these conspiracies revolve around USA.

Also, make your own subreddit/look at new and vote on stuff if you don't like it

3  pork_loin 2013-03-13

I created r/SNAFU last week to address this very thing. Please contribute to the discussion! I've just been talking to myself over there.

2  yahoo_bot 2013-03-13

Well the global elites are mostly in the USA and using that country as the engine for their evil and their plans for a one world government.

1  gwf_hegel2 2013-03-13

This subreddit is simply ridiculously ethnocentric. If it doesn't concern the citizens of the mighty USA, nobody is interested.

Which already tells quite a lot about the inhabitants of this place.

1  Kancer86 2013-03-13

Nice sweeping generalization, champ! I'm an American that's very interested in worldly affairs. But I'm not going to post links to some foreign issue that I can offer no perspective on, or even verify if the data is accurate because I live across the world.

-2  gwf_hegel2 2013-03-13

verify if the data is accurate

Yeah because conspiratards are generally known to do that.

1  Kancer86 2013-03-13

Oh ok... Thanks for the thoughtful response I guess lol

1  blogmas 2013-03-13

I am in total agreement with you.

sweatshops and that kind of simplistic nonsense

You want to attempt getting it past me that a supranational production line, from getting the plants in place, the permits, and fobbing the workers off with the demeaning 72 cents an hour wages is simplistic?

It's insulting for you to assume we dont know this is going on all over the planet

Good. Be insulted. You're peripherally aware of it but can you explain the precise mechanisms of how it operates? There's a crucial chasm of difference between the two.

We dont care

Fuck off then

2  windmillofdoom 2013-03-13

Iownacat obviously choose his words in an attempt to anger you, but I do agree with his stance specifically regarding the sweatshops. Those are not conspiracies, they are proven illegal practices that have yet to be dealt with.
