I'll repeat some stuff I've seen, and see if it rings a bell.
to not take too much space.
• "they care about their people and want them to be safer" -under a video of a huge amount of patrol vehicles in the USA.
• "why do we side with weak insignificant African countries instead of Europe"
• "healthcare isn't free, we pay for it with our tax money" under a post asking if Algeria has public healthcare or not.
• "the government is corrupt because it doesn't let me import a Toyota supra"
• "our streets are dirty compared to America because we live in military rule" (completely ignoring prisoners being used for slave labor to clean the streets)
• "we shouldn't build commie blocks they're ugly, also we should put a tax on slums to end them"
• "the issues we face are because of our mentality"
• "we should privatize education and healthcare because making them public turns people lazy"
• "the reason Algeria doesn't have flying cars is because it was socialist"
• "Leftism is poor people's mentality"
• "Algerians have diabetes because if he's hungry he eats bread because it's extremely cheap, then if he gets diabetes he gets diagnosed for free, and when he needs insulin it's also free" so basically poor people must die lol.
• and the shit that made me delete reddit "we should improve tourism by advertising our country more, we already have (insert very orientalist shit) here"
Holy shit, outside of the last one each one of those checks out on my Lib bingo sheet.
Always with the "capitalism brings out the best in competition" and "why do all the rich want to move to the US? Because it's heaven on earth" mentalities with these people.
