I’ll start:

Idaho - when people think “racism in the United States” their minds go to the Deep South. The Deep South is absolutely pretty bad, and there’s of course the whole history with the confederacy so it makes sense that’s what we think of, but Idaho is let off the hook way too much given that it’s a hotbed of Nazis and Christian nationalists trying to form a white ethnostate. Idaho needs to be more closely linked to virulent racism like the Deep South currently is. And tbh I’ve been to the Deep South, I like it down there, it’s actually pretty diverse in many areas, if I had to live there it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. You couldn’t pay me to set foot in Idaho.

Gen X - look, if we’re gonna do generational warfare gen x needs a lot more hate. Sorry to any xers out there but boomers have been punching bags for a while, millenials are starting to get a good amount of hate, and they’ve always been made fun of for their Harry Potter and office love, tbh a lot of millennial shit is just considered cringe these days, gen z obviously gets all the “ugh what’s wrong with the youth” hate and this new media cycle has them being portrayed as pretty much the new hitler youth. Gen x needs to start getting some more hate, especially now with all these weird gen x venture capitalists influencing the trump admin trying to realize their vision of a neo fascist network state

    Canada.

    We’re trying so hard to be like the USA but we already have meagre healthcare and a couple labour laws that people really don’t want to give up. I’d bet money that a proportional amount of people compared to the States is racist, sexist, and all the phobics. This country was built on slavery and unending genocide too and people here act like we’re so much better. Fake ass oil company country

      The only - ONLY - reason that we’ve gotten away with being so shit is that we’re every so slightly less shit than our immediate and only neighbour to the south. If we compare ourselves to like any other OECD or G7 country we’re a disgrace (particularly with respect to how little we spend on social programs/services but also shit like poverty and police violence)
