What values does the US represent?
- mensetmanusman 1y agoYou will only get edgy responses, most can’t comprehend what to think when people acting under a system of values fail to reach their proposed ideals.
- jasonwatkinspdx 1y agoSupposedly freedom of speech for one. Hard to see that as being real today.
- happytoexplain 1y agoFreedom seems like the obvious example here, unless I'm not catching your meaning.
- wk_end 1y agoNote that they said "professes to represent" (emphasis mine). What the US professes to represent and what it actually represents for various people aren't totally unrelated, but it's a relationship that's always been pretty fraught.

Regardless of what you think about them and Neo-Nazis/white supremacists, I think it's unfair because the policies of the current administration with regard to war, debt, environmentalism etc. evince a total disregard for the futures of children of any colour.
