Elon Musk is a foreigner that is directly causing our current problems.
- The US has been the most evil country on earth long before musk arrived.
  
  No argument there.
  
  I would argue that the British Empire and Belgium were pretty fucking evil long before the US came into existence.
- Elon Musk is a foreigner
  No, he's an American citizen. Or are American liberals full 'blood and soil' now?
  
  Rightwingers don't usually care about whether immigrants have citizenship or not.
  
  Wym "now"? Lmao
It’s those fucking illegals who came over on the mayflower that caused this
- had the native american's been smart enough to build a wall across the ocean... none of this mess would have happened.
stubs toe
DAMN YOU PUTIN
- I frequent the “…thanks a lot Obama.”
- Thanks Obama
Mfw the country is founded by foreigners who didn’t like the other foreigners
Lots of populist European parties are doing the same and are actually gaining votes by blaming everything on the immigrants.
They don't even try.
The only wrong part of this meme is the implication that burgers would even try to not blame foreign meddling.
It's also a problem in europe
Edit: people blaming immigrants, that is, not immigration itself
- and blaming communism, despite the fact that there's no communism to be found in Europe
  
  To be fair, anything, literally anything, that Nigel Farage says, can and should be dismissed as nonsense. If he would say the sky is blue, dismiss it. If you want to know the color of the sky, you can find a better source of information.
No you don't understand, it wasn't 80 years of fascist power consolidation and continual capitalist cannibalization since the 70s, It is all Putin manipulating social media causing the material conditions in the Global North. One thing is for sure, no one wrote a book in the nineteenth century describing this exactly.
- You don't understand, the U.S. was sold to Russia in 2016, then it was reclaimed and thanklessly saved by our harm-reduction, lesser-evilism enjoyer (very wholesome), then it was hopelessly sold back again to Russia just recently..
One in particular from. South Africa
It's not like most european countries are in a good position to justifiably point fingers here ...
- The author Domenico Losurdo uses the term mutual demystification a lot, especially in Liberalism - a counter history. When two parties accuse each other of being hypocrites, it often ends up showing that they both are.
  
  I'd like to point out that I'm european, not american - this is the opposite of calling each other hypocrites.
I’ll start. Go home white people! Go back to where you came from!
- I'd love to live in Denmark, that's where most of my heritage comes from.
  
  Maybe I should go to Poland. That's the largest contiguous plurality of my background...
  
  I'm Danish, follow your heritage and come back, it's pretty great here
- This reminded me of that one nando's ad
Capitalism and First-past-the-post voting.
Capitalists hate competition.
It’s not necessarily foreigners, but rather billionaires that are the problem. They bought off and corrupted government officials long ago, and directed them to perform heinous acts to line their pockets further. The rich have got to be stopped in order for things to get better. I’d prefer to simply tax them out of existence, but there are other means available…
- The US was founded on slavery and genocide / conquest of hundreds of indigenous nations. It's rotten to the core.
  
  Yeah, and many of those founders were rich businessmen who didn’t want to pay taxes to the king of England. This is a human problem, not a national one.
It's not like Musk was elected.
He looks like he's taking a shit
Swing and a miss.
- Republicans do
  Democrats frequently blame all of the USs problems on Russians.
  Musk, Murdoch, Ramaswami
  All three are literally US citizens, and Ramaswamy was literally born in Ohio.
  I see that American liberals are white nationalists now.
- And here you are living the meme.
Some random asshole on the internet had a similar challenge when it came to not generalizing 300,000,000 people and sadly failed their challenge :'(
