    Jesus fucking Christ, it’s like they’re TRYING to embarrass our entire nation from every single department possible. 10 years ago this would’ve amused me more than anything, even if only slightly. But now? Everyday is just another brand new stupid example of our own incompetence with somewhere around a 50/50 split between embarrassing and infuriating. I’ve never been a gung-ho, America-first, capital-P “Patriot”, but I never would’ve even conceived that we would sink so low so quickly; every new rock-bottom simply becomes a new surface-layer to be strip-mined of any remaining shred of dignity, empathy, and humanity

      It’s really not though… it looks closer to some random, amorphous shape I’d draw up for a DnD one-off than an actual country. If I were asked to draw Nigeria from memory, that’s probably pretty close to what I’d come up with, but just Google how it actually looks and you can see the differences immediately
