Ok this is the pettiness I’m here for lmao
I agree. We’ve failed to live up the the aspirations that statue represents.
It was written by the French in the first place unless I misunderstood the history.
Perhaps the statue should be more of a trophy, moved from nation to nation depending on how focused that nation is on creating opportunity for the least among us, how accepting they are of the poor, tired, and broken peoples of the world, how committed they are to escalating the cause of human dignity.
As an American, I agree
Seconded.
Is that the one that says “give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”?
Yeah we’re not using it.
Swap it for a guillotine
I hope we can some day reach a state of politics that aren’t purely performative in nature.
Where policy is made to address an issue of the contituency, not to dunk on opponents or generate media attention.Politics is just the entertainment branch of the military
I agree, but at the same time politics these days are necessarily intertwined with social media and it’s culture.
I do agree with you that politics have become mostly circus without much bread, but I’d say we should never give up on our gift of making light of the hardships.
I mean, dunk as it may be, it’s a good one. I’d even go as far as calling it a sick burn and a smart jab!
Edit: plus populism is the playing field now, memes and smartass quips are how you win the base over. I’m not saying I agree with this particular way of going about things, but reality is undeniable nonetheless. We’d be wise to master the tools.
The liberty is no longer Where it was expected to be
Good idea. We haven’t stood for what it represented since… ever really.
This would be hilarious.
It would only be fair, and the ego of Trump would shatter into billion parts.
