"Distillation of everything this country swears it isn't"
Ladies and gentlemen, behold The Representative of The People.
He truly is the embodiment of everything the rest of the world thinks America is.
Think?
We don’t think mate. We see it and many of us have seen it for decades. War mongering, capitalism on steroids, sickly jingoistic freaks.
Now I’m talking about the American government and a large swath of their people. Not all Americans.
I truly believe that America is the worst thing to happen to this planet and over my 40 years of life has done nothing that could be considered good, or couldn’t outweigh the heinous stuff it’s done.
I think we should arm Canada to take over America.
As an American, you ain't wrong. I really thought we were making some truly progressive leaps forward in the early 2010s, but the mask has truly come off for so many in this country and it is fucking vile and disgusting. Like it or not, collectively, this is what we are. Don't let this shit infect your country if you can help it.
Yeah I’m sorry that your country is in the state it is now and I imagine it’s a scary place to wonder about what the future holds.
We can’t only hope Trump leaves office at the end of his term and then you can go back to slightly less crazy America.
Sadly I’m from the UK and we look at you guys as what we aspire to be. Just last week I saw American flags hung in my town as some people are being gaslit into thinking America is who we should strive to be like. So we are cooked too.
Im in Alberta, we have MAGA morons here too.
Germany too. 😐
It’s disturbing as fuck.
Every year it feels they drive us deeper into a septic future. I'm not poor, but I'm certainly not rich enough to think I'll live a life even 1/10th the quality my parents got to. I'm ok with that honestly, if we can fix it. I swear I'll take a revolving cylinder to my temple the day I turn 60 if it prevents america from being suicided by another batch of self centered old cucks.
Like, it's pretty good but it goes too easy on Trump.
The best part of it is that Trump is too stupid to understand what 80% of the words in that epitaph mean.
Bravo
I don't know why the meme said it was 'from the Uk' (sic), a quick search doesn't give a clear 'home' for the author, and he doesn't appear to work for any mainstream media, but this article sure sounds like he's lived un the US a ling tine, if not born there. https://thehobbledehoy.com/tag/oliver-kornetzke/
That said it does read like a British gloves-off, takedown. Absolutely no prisoners. I think I may just read it again. It's quite a work of art.
Accurately observed. With a few grammatical tweaks, it would be the best obituary.

I really like this poem.
Poetry.
Damn Oliver, leave some awesomeness for the rest of us!
