You Americans are so influential it’s almost impressive.

Quick history speedrun: Women in my country got the vote in 1906. We declared independence in 1917 and still call it the day we walked out of white slavery. We’ve been one of the most equal societies on earth ever since — high trust, high female education, low formal hierarchy. We used to function like a team.

Then 2017 hits. #MeToo goes global. Overnight a visible chunk of women under 30 dye their hair blue, start speaking in imported slogans, and act like they’re storming the Bastille in a country that already finished that fight a century ago. Darling, you’re not punching up. You’re yelling inside an American-made bubble and calling it revolution.

I watched two guys arguing. One was hitting every logical point—strawman, the works. There was a clear size difference. The big guy winds up his counter-argument… and I just watched it connect with the mouth of the straw-made man.

America’s the only place a dude will actually fuck you up for saying some words. I respect that.

I’m a nervous person. I hate confrontation. In a perfect world every awkward conversation ends in violence.

Where I’m from we just keep saying mean shit until somebody cries.

Then goes home and makes out with the mouth of a 12-gauge.

We are shy and sad people.

That's it thanks.
