:
CW: nitpicking
taking the lord's name in vain or cultural appropriation
The USA, not the rest of America
reproduces the notion of the linear progression of civilization, a liberal colonialist fabrication
a shithole implies a shitter outside of it, but the US is not being shat upon from the outside
implies there are no others, which isn't true
binary thinking and possible essentialism
slur against the mentally disabled
Correct, v-coding is rape.
