Build the wall

This is going to be happening in the US in a few years, I guarantee it. Us Americans think we live in the best country on earth, but it's all a facade that can come crumbling down in a weekend. Our police are basically state-sponsored thugs, large corporations run our lives and control our politicians, and those same politicians are doing the best they can to divide Americans to the point where each half of the country wants to kill the other half.

We think we have it good, but this is our future. The super-rich will cash out, and leave America as a failed state.

It's not like we don't deserve it though. You make fun of these people for being so desperate that they'll steal gas from a crashed truck, but why do you think their economy is this bad? The US has been fucking with other countries since the turn of the century. "Oh, you have a stable, socialist government that's good for the people? Sorry, we don't like commies, have some death squads and US-funded civil wars."

The US economy, the actual activity of the people, is insanely productive and nowhere even close to crumbling. The fact that corrupt politicians can do what they do to such an extent without denting our economy is proof of that.

  • Also, fuck your socialism. Voluntarism is the way to go.
  • Also also, Americans wouldn't do that here... because our average IQ is higher than those that were looting the truck for a few gallons of gasoline.
  • Only a low-IQ idiot would risk burning alive to get a few gallons of gasoline.

[–]Papitas 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

... between USA and Colombia. That would totally work 👌

You know most illegals crossing the border are from central and south america right..?

You must be really fun at parties.

calm down lady

Haha good one. Haven't heard that before.

Ikr. People actually like to hang with me because I don't convert every single joke into a boring political discussion 👌

It would just have to be a really thick wall.

2:20 for the action.

When you read about souls screaming in agony in the fires of hell, you could only just imagine, well, now we know exactly what it sounds like. A lot like a soccer match, surprisingly.

[–]Cornguy 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Yeah I’d rather not risk being cooked alive for a few gallons of free gas. Guess these folks thought otherwise.

[–]HopeThatHalps 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

It puts the our relative fortunes in perspective. The price of gas is really low right now, and yet they're still crowding around. They're probably also less educated.

What the fuck were the cops doing?

[–]lost_in_cairo 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

the cops are outnumbered. i guess they could have tried yelling at people that it's dangerous and they should leave, but i'm pretty sure everyone already knew that.

If this was the US they would have gunned down a few people and the tanker would explode anyway.

[–]h56hh56h54y5y 4 insightful - 4 fun4 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 4 fun -  (2 children)

If it was the US, people wouldn't be looting a tanker in the first place.

[–]fishbox 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

well then there would be no argument, would there?

[–]Toastymuffins 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Being here I would've thought you'd know how often people are shot down there...

[–]zoristtot 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Meanwhile, in the US...

[–]thenotoriousdougie 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Not much to prevent this from happening obviously.

Jesus, talk about risky

"Tragedia". Would be a tragedy if they were bound to the truck with ropes and someone lit a match, not like anyone forced them to do something that would 98% end in searing flesh

The pipeline explosion in Mexico that sent them running away across the field on fire by the dozens on WPD 1.0 had a comment to the effect of "Morir ladrones grasientos" which translates as "Die greasy thieves".

There's a clip on this website which may have been the same as the original. There's also an article about what happened.

Why would you upload something like this to YouTube

[–]Dontbotheritsnotreal 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

There are so many people there just ready to go with their buckets. Always prepared to loot. I can appreciate that.

How much is a bucket of fuel worth?

[–]thenotoriousdougie 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Enough to risk getting 3rd degree burns over 90% of your body.

[–]Dontbotheritsnotreal 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Well I'm glad it paid off then!

[–]arsene 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I think that most oil tanker trucks that are being looted by third world crowds end up in flames. All these people simply have inferior intelligence, doesn't matter what your socio-economic status is. I fucking bet you that this would happen all the time.
