Itโ€™s almost like CEOs and cooperations have an agenda making youths have addictions

Thatโ€™s a pretty wild accusation.  I can guarantee you that getting kids addicted is the last thing that the company behind Juul actually wanted.


You werenโ€™t supposed to deepthroat the boot but ok


While a lot of people in the Vape industry legitimately want to help people stop smoking and really donโ€™t want you buying their stuff if youโ€™ve never been a smoker, Iโ€™m almost certain Juul is not one of those companies. Considering each Juul pod has about 8x as much nicotine per oz. as most juices youโ€™d load into a tank, they are only good for feeding and starting addictions, as are most other Closed System Devices like them. Even giving them the benefit of the doubt that they may have STARTED as not another company looking to exploit an impressionable market, they almost definitely are now, especially since the FDA helped eliminate a lot of their (much less addictive and arguably healthier) competition.

That was super nice of them.
And now Iโ€™m mad that nobody told us we were given cows. Cause thatโ€™s really f*cking nice and nobody mentioned it at all.

American media tends to disregard that anyone donates to the US. And then Amurricans complain about money going abroad because โ€œnobody helped the US in our disasters.โ€
.
Also, do you know how much a cow costs? O.O

It isnโ€™t just a matter of how much a cow costs, its a matter of considering that Masai life is based around their cattle. Its their wealth, their food, and a significant part of their religion. Hereโ€™s a quote from Wikipedia:
โ€œTraditional Maasaiย lifestyleย centres around theirย cattleย which constitute their primary source of food. The measure of a manโ€™s wealth is in terms of cattle and children. A herd of 50 cattle is respectable, and the more children the better. A man who has plenty of one but not the other is considered to be poor.[37]ย A Maasaiย religious beliefย relates that God gave them all the cattle on earth, leading to the belief thatย rustlingย cattle from other tribes is a matter of taking back what is rightfully theirs, a practice that has become much less common.[38]โ€
So its not just โ€œthey gave us 14 cowsโ€, its that they gave us something that is very important and significant to them, it is more than just a kind gesture that definitely deserves to be known and its a genuine shame that more people donโ€™t know about it.

Wait, you guys DONโ€™T KNOW that we offer help to the US when you have disasters???????
Shit, down here in Brazil we not only offered to send tracking units and doctors to help in 9/11 but we wanted to send a whole lot of donations to help with Katrina (we have experience with floods down here so we knew what kind of medicine to send to prevent outbreaks).ย 
We alone had like 2 army airplanes full of medicine and non-perishables like baby formula, diapers, bottled water, mosquito nets and other stuff thatโ€™s needed to fight opportunistic diseases that hit flooded areas, enough to assist a good few thousand people at least, ready to go the day after it hit, but your government refused the donations.ย 
The same thing happened to the Canadians and Europeans who offered help, the US embassies around the world told us all to give money to Red Cross.
And so we did, we all gave hundreds of millions of dollars to them, and then this happened:
Red Cross scandals tarnish relief efforts


โ€˜Breathtakingโ€™ Waste and Fraud in Hurricane Aid


So please, donโ€™t you go spreading misinformation and prejudice against the rest of the world, WE DID OFFER HELP AND ORGANIZED IT EVEN FASTER THAN BUSH DID, BUT Yโ€™ALL REFUSED IT.ย 

Oh wow I had no idea this happened itโ€™s really not talked about in media at all wow this is something good to know about wow

Iโ€™m so angry.
I didnโ€™t know that other countries tried to help after 9/11 or Katrina.  Like, thatโ€™s something we, the people, should hear about and we donโ€™t.
Please donโ€™t blame us for the shitty decisions our government makes.  We donโ€™t have as much control over our government as we would like to think and they keep a lot from us.

Spread this shit.ย  

After Katrina, Cuba donated several hundred blankets. Think about that. A country that is suffering economically due directly to the US embargo offered to help us when we needed it by sending what they could. And once again, it was refused. We have a government that is so self-righteous that we refuse to accept disaster aid in order to maintain this facade that we are the most generous nation on earth.

Okay, Katrina thing.Only Texans really knows this? and even then itโ€™s not wide spread.Mexico sent their army.They sent their army for relief efforts. Didnโ€™t call ahead, they drove all the way to San Antonio with doctors and food and all sorts of supplies.When people actually got a call from them saying โ€œHey, weโ€™re sending people up.โ€The people who answered said โ€œWhat? We canโ€™tโ€ฆโ€โ€œToo late, already there.โ€This was while the government was turning down help.So yeah, other countries send relief.Forest fires up in Washington last year? Firefighters from Australia came up to assist.Likeโ€ฆ we donโ€™t hear about this shit. At all.

I can second the above with the fires.ย 
Most the time, when people sayย โ€œoh FEMA or something sent people right?โ€ re: fires, its actually people from other countries showing up and kinda ignoring the government telling them to fuck off and staying on behalf of local departments because we REALLY need them.ย 
If thereโ€™s a huge ass disaster, and the government is sitting there with a thumb up itโ€™s ass, help is offered and most the timeโ€“ shit, it gets there!But then the feds do something really fucking dirty.They insist they were the help, if itโ€™s talked about at all.ย 
They insist those people putting out fires were federal people, because to most people a firemanโ€™s a fireman. The people handing out water and food, a relief worker is a relief worker. So on and so forth.ย 
We had people come up when the fires were so bad a while agoโ€“ not the Australians, but i think there was like a German group of like 3 guys that flew themselves over? They came out of sheerย โ€œthis is horrible and weโ€™re helpingโ€ and my dad [local fire chief] had them working with our guys and the feds lost no time telling every news outlet that it was THEIR people doing all the fire knockdowns and structure work when these guys were running into buildings and grabbing people, pets, and peopleโ€™s important documents because they knew papers were a pain in the ass to replace.ย 
What you gotta understand is that our government is very intent on selling us and the rest of the world [as much as possible] the idea of a powerful and self reliant country. All our reporting on disasters, starts with the scaremongering and then moves toย โ€œbut our people can handle it because weโ€™re the best at handling thingsโ€ and then they move on before the idea itโ€™s out of control comes to mind. The average person outside of the disaster has no idea, if they have never been around such an event or met someone who regularly deals with these things, they will kinda probably nod along with that. Because we have no real scope on the scale and impactโ€“ by design. Our media intake is very controlled to slant everything to theย โ€œeh, we can handle it and everyone else out thereโ€“ they need our help because theyโ€™re not so good at handling disasters like we are.โ€People who know better, reading international news, interacting with international social groups, looking outside their sphere of communityโ€“ we know better but that kinda slant is really hard to break from because of that grip American media has on information.So, taking that knowledge, we further have restricted reporting on certain disasters because theyโ€™re considered unimportant.ย Hurricanes are considered important, earthquakes are only considered important if it wrecks something the government cares about or somewhere a couple million people live that theyโ€™ll upset the national money flow/they can throw money at someone to make the news care, floods are only important if itโ€™s in a similar manner to earthquakes but since they occur annually theyโ€™re rarely reported on nationally, mudslides that kill people or leave hundreds homeless arenโ€™t important to the government even through they happen constantly, wildfires that consume most of the nation/continent each year generally are unimportant until they consume a town or threaten a government interest/money flow location. Terrorist attacks are always important because people will talk about them.
So, when we do get help for any of the above, itโ€™s possible that most people may have no idea about whatโ€™s happened, let alone that helpโ€™s been sent. Or if people know something happened, the details are vagueโ€“ the news donโ€™t care to give the nitty gritty. Youโ€™ll know something happened and people are suffering andย โ€œgee, isnโ€™t it good youโ€™re not themโ€ and then now the weather.
So, yeah, basically no one really knows we get help.

International response to Hurricane Katrina:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_response_to_Hurricane_Katrinaย 
We got HELLA help, but nobody really talks about it

American Media really fails regularlyย 

Hurricane Sandy, Quebec sends power line crews down to assist in restoring power. ย California gets rid of water bombers due to budget cuts, Canada sends theirs down to help fight wild fires. Amazing what living on the border and having outside TV News does to your information flow.

After Katrina, Denmark offered to donate water purification units so people wouldnโ€™t get sick from drinking contaminated water, but the offer was declined.
A private Danish company built a mobile satellite phone booth and drove it around the poor neighbourhoods in Mississippi and Louisiana so people could call their families and insurance companies for free (apparently there was a deadline for reporting damages but people couldnโ€™t call in because their mobile phones were dead and landlines were down).

American propaganda is not a thing of the past, nor is it a new thing.  It has been around forever, telling stories of exceptionalism and self-reliance while our government tries its hardest to refuse the help of others and offer its own to them, to try and force other nations onto their back foot and remain aggressively benevolent in international matters, so that it can lord that shit over them in negotiations and the media in general.I guarantee you America would have a less jingoistic, less xenophobic populace overall if this sort of information were actually reported to us.  If we werenโ€™t always fed the lie of helping the world without any gratitude or help in return.  If the media didnโ€™t present us as world police and instead as a part of the community, as other countries try hard to include us as, then maybe Americans would actually act like theyโ€™re part of a fucking community.But global citizens are hard to monger fear and distrust and xenophobia and nationalism with.  Theyโ€™re hard to control with propaganda and hate.  Theyโ€™re hard to keep ignorant and docile and saying โ€œthis is fineโ€ while the empire burns.A lot of Americans wonder why our country is seen as a worldwide bully.  Shit like that, my friends.  Shit like that.  Its hubris is seemingly limitless.

C O M M E N T A R Y
FYI: They left out the part where Americaโ€™s rudeness kicked in and turned down the offer of the cows. 

 The US government is really tryna kill its people. Someone offered water purification units and they were like โ€œnah,โ€ let those tricks get sick.

@hutchj  how about the U.S. passed a law recently making CBD, the non-psychoactive derivative of cannabis, illegal as a Schedule A drug, EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN PROVEN TO REDUCE EPILEPTIC SEIZURES IN CHILDREN TO ZERO among a dozen other ailments having been reduced to nominal levels allowing ppl to function normally (ADHD, chronic pain, IBS, menstrual cramps, Alzheimerโ€™s, etc). Doctors around the country (that Big Pharma canโ€™t buy off) are fighting back for their patientsโ€™ well-being. ๐Ÿ˜ก: now you kno!
 In 2002, Kenyan Masai tribespeople
 donated 14 cows to to the U.S
 to help with the aftermath of 9/11.

Wait, you guys DONโ€™T KNOW that we offer help to the US when you have disasters???????
Shit, down here in Brazil we not only offered to send tracking units and doctors to help in 9/11 but we wanted to send a whole lot of donations to help with Katrina (we have experience with floods down here so we knew what kind of medicine to send to prevent outbreaks).ย 
We alone had like 2 army airplanes full of medicine and non-perishables like baby formula, diapers, bottled water, mosquito nets and other stuff thatโ€™s needed to fight opportunistic diseases that hit flooded areas, enough to assist a good few thousand people at least, ready to go the day after it hit, but your government refused the donations.ย 
The same thing happened to the Canadians and Europeans who offered help, the US embassies around the world told us all to give money to Red Cross.
And so we did, we all gave hundreds of millions of dollars to them, and then this happened:
Red Cross scandals tarnish relief efforts


โ€˜Breathtakingโ€™ Waste and Fraud in Hurricane Aid


So please, donโ€™t you go spreading misinformation and prejudice against the rest of the world, WE DID OFFER HELP AND ORGANIZED IT EVEN FASTER THAN BUSH DID, BUT Yโ€™ALL REFUSED IT.ย 

Oh wow I had no idea this happened itโ€™s really not talked about in media at all wow this is something good to know about wow

Iโ€™m so angry.
I didnโ€™t know that other countries tried to help after 9/11 or Katrina.  Like, thatโ€™s something we, the people, should hear about and we donโ€™t.
Please donโ€™t blame us for the shitty decisions our government makes.  We donโ€™t have as much control over our government as we would like to think and they keep a lot from us.

Spread this shit.ย  

After Katrina, Cuba donated several hundred blankets. Think about that. A country that is suffering economically due directly to the US embargo offered to help us when we needed it by sending what they could. And once again, it was refused. We have a government that is so self-righteous that we refuse to accept disaster aid in order to maintain this facade that we are the most generous nation on earth.

Okay, Katrina thing.Only Texans really knows this? and even then itโ€™s not wide spread.Mexico sent their army.They sent their army for relief efforts. Didnโ€™t call ahead, they drove all the way to San Antonio with doctors and food and all sorts of supplies.When people actually got a call from them saying โ€œHey, weโ€™re sending people up.โ€The people who answered said โ€œWhat? We canโ€™tโ€ฆโ€โ€œToo late, already there.โ€This was while the government was turning down help.So yeah, other countries send relief.Forest fires up in Washington last year? Firefighters from Australia came up to assist.Likeโ€ฆ we donโ€™t hear about this shit. At all.

I can second the above with the fires.ย 
Most the time, when people sayย โ€œoh FEMA or something sent people right?โ€ re: fires, its actually people from other countries showing up and kinda ignoring the government telling them to fuck off and staying on behalf of local departments because we REALLY need them.ย 
If thereโ€™s a huge ass disaster, and the government is sitting there with a thumb up itโ€™s ass, help is offered and most the timeโ€“ shit, it gets there!But then the feds do something really fucking dirty.They insist they were the help, if itโ€™s talked about at all.ย 
They insist those people putting out fires were federal people, because to most people a firemanโ€™s a fireman. The people handing out water and food, a relief worker is a relief worker. So on and so forth.ย 
We had people come up when the fires were so bad a while agoโ€“ not the Australians, but i think there was like a German group of like 3 guys that flew themselves over? They came out of sheerย โ€œthis is horrible and weโ€™re helpingโ€ and my dad [local fire chief] had them working with our guys and the feds lost no time telling every news outlet that it was THEIR people doing all the fire knockdowns and structure work when these guys were running into buildings and grabbing people, pets, and peopleโ€™s important documents because they knew papers were a pain in the ass to replace.ย 
What you gotta understand is that our government is very intent on selling us and the rest of the world [as much as possible] the idea of a powerful and self reliant country. All our reporting on disasters, starts with the scaremongering and then moves toย โ€œbut our people can handle it because weโ€™re the best at handling thingsโ€ and then they move on before the idea itโ€™s out of control comes to mind. The average person outside of the disaster has no idea, if they have never been around such an event or met someone who regularly deals with these things, they will kinda probably nod along with that. Because we have no real scope on the scale and impactโ€“ by design. Our media intake is very controlled to slant everything to theย โ€œeh, we can handle it and everyone else out thereโ€“ they need our help because theyโ€™re not so good at handling disasters like we are.โ€People who know better, reading international news, interacting with international social groups, looking outside their sphere of communityโ€“ we know better but that kinda slant is really hard to break from because of that grip American media has on information.So, taking that knowledge, we further have restricted reporting on certain disasters because theyโ€™re considered unimportant.ย Hurricanes are considered important, earthquakes are only considered important if it wrecks something the government cares about or somewhere a couple million people live that theyโ€™ll upset the national money flow/they can throw money at someone to make the news care, floods are only important if itโ€™s in a similar manner to earthquakes but since they occur annually theyโ€™re rarely reported on nationally, mudslides that kill people or leave hundreds homeless arenโ€™t important to the government even through they happen constantly, wildfires that consume most of the nation/continent each year generally are unimportant until they consume a town or threaten a government interest/money flow location. Terrorist attacks are always important because people will talk about them.
So, when we do get help for any of the above, itโ€™s possible that most people may have no idea about whatโ€™s happened, let alone that helpโ€™s been sent. Or if people know something happened, the details are vagueโ€“ the news donโ€™t care to give the nitty gritty. Youโ€™ll know something happened and people are suffering andย โ€œgee, isnโ€™t it good youโ€™re not themโ€ and then now the weather.
So, yeah, basically no one really knows we get help.

International response to Hurricane Katrina:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_response_to_Hurricane_Katrinaย 
We got HELLA help, but nobody really talks about it

American Media really fails regularlyย 

Hurricane Sandy, Quebec sends power line crews down to assist in restoring power. ย California gets rid of water bombers due to budget cuts, Canada sends theirs down to help fight wild fires. Amazing what living on the border and having outside TV News does to your information flow.

After Katrina, Denmark offered to donate water purification units so people wouldnโ€™t get sick from drinking contaminated water, but the offer was declined.
A private Danish company built a mobile satellite phone booth and drove it around the poor neighbourhoods in Mississippi and Louisiana so people could call their families and insurance companies for free (apparently there was a deadline for reporting damages but people couldnโ€™t call in because their mobile phones were dead and landlines were down).

American propaganda is not a thing of the past, nor is it a new thing.  It has been around forever, telling stories of exceptionalism and self-reliance while our government tries its hardest to refuse the help of others and offer its own to them, to try and force other nations onto their back foot and remain aggressively benevolent in international matters, so that it can lord that shit over them in negotiations and the media in general.I guarantee you America would have a less jingoistic, less xenophobic populace overall if this sort of information were actually reported to us.  If we werenโ€™t always fed the lie of helping the world without any gratitude or help in return.  If the media didnโ€™t present us as world police and instead as a part of the community, as other countries try hard to include us as, then maybe Americans would actually act like theyโ€™re part of a fucking community.But global citizens are hard to monger fear and distrust and xenophobia and nationalism with.  Theyโ€™re hard to control with propaganda and hate.  Theyโ€™re hard to keep ignorant and docile and saying โ€œthis is fineโ€ while the empire burns.A lot of Americans wonder why our country is seen as a worldwide bully.  Shit like that, my friends.  Shit like that.  Its hubris is seemingly limitless.

C O M M E N T A R Y
FYI: They left out the part where Americaโ€™s rudeness kicked in and turned down the offer of the cows. 

 The US government is really tryna kill its people. Someone offered water purification units and they were like โ€œnah,โ€ let those tricks get sick.

That was super nice of them.
And now Iโ€™m mad that nobody told us we were given cows. Cause thatโ€™s really f*cking nice and nobody mentioned it at all.

American media tends to disregard that anyone donates to the US. And then Amurricans complain about money going abroad because โ€œnobody helped the US in our disasters.โ€
.
Also, do you know how much a cow costs? O.O

It isnโ€™t just a matter of how much a cow costs, its a matter of considering that Masai life is based around their cattle. Its their wealth, their food, and a significant part of their religion. Hereโ€™s a quote from Wikipedia:
โ€œTraditional Maasaiย lifestyleย centres around theirย cattleย which constitute their primary source of food. The measure of a manโ€™s wealth is in terms of cattle and children. A herd of 50 cattle is respectable, and the more children the better. A man who has plenty of one but not the other is considered to be poor.[37]ย A Maasaiย religious beliefย relates that God gave them all the cattle on earth, leading to the belief thatย rustlingย cattle from other tribes is a matter of taking back what is rightfully theirs, a practice that has become much less common.[38]โ€
So its not just โ€œthey gave us 14 cowsโ€, its that they gave us something that is very important and significant to them, it is more than just a kind gesture that definitely deserves to be known and its a genuine shame that more people donโ€™t know about it.
