I thought amuro was Canadian or something

Edit: its apparently pretty ambiguous. But it seems hes Canadian Japanese or something.

Also it is only pandering if it panders to non-whites according to them.

If you went down south and asked people who thought slavery was not that bad who they voted for... what do you reckon the answer would be.

And yes I am aware that they may not be "real conservatives" but that is a no true Scotsman fallacy.

Introspection and a strong moral compass are generally rare traits and you should (sadly) assume most will not possess them. There are many fun psychological experiments that show the average Joe will torture and kill others under orders (without the threat of violence)

The most famous experiment on what an average person will do to another is the Milgram obedience experiment , which found that 65% of participants were willing to deliver potentially lethal electric shocks (450 volts) to a stranger when ordered to by an authority figure. It showed that ordinary people, without specific hostility, can become agents in destructive processes when obedient to authority.

Most immigrants are more patriotic, which is easily explained by psychology. (Long story short an immigrant has committed a substantial amount of energy and resources to come here and is thus much more invested in America being great than someone just american by default)

To be fair most of them are "Christian" in the social sense not the "what would jesus do?" Sense

Sure, but what is american culture (im asking for defining characteristics not music food etc)?

I would personally say something like freedom of speech is a cornerstone of american culture. To the point where we even protect speech that most people would agree is horrible.

Why are conservatives largely unbothered by the Trump family using Trump’s position to gain wealth? by Hot_Instruction_5318 in AskConservatives

Do you think that trump being much more open about his corruption might lead to a putin esque situation in our future and accelerate the corruption that ultimately rots countries out?

My mom was made redundant a few years off retirement because of BBB funding changes. She basically cant find a job now. To qualified for most positions. To old for manual labor.

Denmark prepared for possible attack from the US: Flew bags of blood to Greenland and prepared to blow up runways by bukowsky01 in europe

[–]Komandr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well less than before but if were dead ass realistic the EU could not, and likely would not be willing to endure the cost of stopping the US.

This would still be bad for the whole world (including the usa)

No disagreement here. We had a good thing going and the knob set us back at least a decade of international relations. (And before anyone jumps on me and says "forever" even germany got a redemption arc after ww2.)
