    I love how obsessed some Americans are with their founding fathers, it’s adorably weird. I’ve never ever based any of my decisions or opinions on what our first chancellor did or didn’t do and I don’t see fucking why.

      It would be adorable if it wasn’t dangerous :/ they use the founding fathers and constitution in the same way they use Jesus and the Bible - as a reason to hurt others and stop progress

        You’re of course correct and I can only be playful about it because of my privileged position of being outside the US. I get that it fucking sucks from the inside.

          Just remember if we fail we will bring everyone down with us. So just because you live outside the US doesn’t mean you can make silly jokes about silly Americans because the people who think that sunscreen bad and founding fathers = gods also vote for people who think democracy is bad and fascism good. So when our democracy fails the whole entire planet will suffer, including you

    When i was younger a former friend of mine told me that bs. I have light skin (right translation?) So it’s a dangerous “advise”. I never believed it, but the discusion were… exhausting.

      Light-skinned is the right translation. But you mean “advice”. Advice is a noun - it is the information. Advise is a verb - to advise someone means to tell them something. I’m advising you by giving you this advice. That not the best example but hopefully it makes sense! And one last thing, it’s discussions not discussion. But that’s really nitpicking. Plenty of native English speakers make those mistakes and what you wrote was understandable. I wish I was remotely as good at Spanish as you are English!

        Thank you for your advice! I turned on two languages im autocorrect, but my smart phone still is getting confused. Cause sometimes i pick Diskussionen instead of discussions or it simply doesn’t get the error itself. When i write fast that always makes me anxios

        But thank you. That’s motivating me!☺️
