@NativeOregonian great.. we use a chinese thing to celebrate america then....

@Milkshake Are you even slightly proud to be American?

@NativeOregonian i think you can only be proud of your own accomplishments

@Milkshake What the hell do they teach you all in school these days now?

@NativeOregonian self responsibility cause your country wont have your back...

@Milkshake Your teachers are pathetic fools then.

@NativeOregonian some of them definitely are

@Milkshake Take pride that you are an American.

@NativeOregonian the usa aint a bad place... could be way worse... could be better. so i am not complaining

@Milkshake Of course it could be better, that is why you take pride in America and fight to make her better, that is what July 4 means to multi millions of us, to fight against the opression of corruption of the establishment and wall street.

@NativeOregonian see my latest other post.. there is a lot of potential. but seeing how politics, media and a big part of the population tick right now... its hard to find hope.

@Milkshake That is why I like Tulsi Gabbard, I personally think she is the only real candidate that will actually deliver whag she promises. Tulsi is not like the rest, she says what she believes what we need to hear, not what we want to hear, the rest are nothibg but political blowhards. I will look at your latest post :)

@NativeOregonian i cant vote yet.. but i do like andrew chang.

@Milkshake I wasn't too impressed with Yang in the debates, but I think he did a Joe Rogan podcast interview so I will try and find it to listen.

@NativeOregonian he seems to be focused on solving the problems that will show up, something that everyone else seems to ignore

@Milkshake Except for Tulsi Gabbard, she wants to eliminate the military industrial complex, which eats up roughly 72% of our annual budget, and wall street corruption that establishment politicians bow down to.

@NativeOregonian well personally i will propably join the military after school... no way i can afford college and no way i qualify for any stipendiums as a white person.

the military is like the social program in the usa... it sucks but its something

@Milkshake Be careful when you do, please. I tried enlisting when I was 20, but a bad busted leg that was surgically repaired disqualified me from joining.

@NativeOregonian well i am fit and healthy... dont think it will be a problem

@Milkshake I hope it works out for you :) Do you have a specific MOS chosen yet?

well.. being coastal i would want to join the navy in any way but havent really looked into details yet... still plenty time and there will be some information events in our highschool which i will attend

😡

@Milkshake Going Navy is a good choice :)
