    Alright, I’m getting shitloads of reports all over these comments, mostly people whining to mommy when people disagree with them hoping I’ll ban whoever it is they don’t like.

    It seems like all the old talking points have been said and everyone’s positions are as entrenched as they’re going to get. I’m locking this; give it a rest, you lot.

    Oh look, a post which has no informational content and who’s only possible outcome is to create division amongst the civilian populations of two allied countries.

    Oh look, it is posted by an account who has a perfectly normal comment history but a strange affinity for posting content which creates a comment section full of divisive conversations between:

    “think about how you view other countries, for example Russia”

    Okay, I do not at all in any way think about the average Russian citizen the way people on this fucking site seem to think about the average American citizen. The idea that I would demand those innocent people essentially commit suicide through armed conflict is demented, yet there’s no such qualms about Americans.

    All that being said though, I have to agree, going to random communities and saying you’re sorry is useless. It only serves to make you feel slightly better and does nothing to actually help the situation, akin to wishing thoughts and prayers.

    I asbolutely do have some nuance for Russians. I am friends with many of them and realize they are powerless to topple the government because I’m not 14

    No usian thinks “I’m sorry” is enough. It’s just a thing to let the world know we are not all crazy. Liberals are continually in shock that the orange child is doing what he said he would do. And some things no one thought he would do. Conservatives continue getting orange dust on their lips. It’s going to be a long fall for the U.S. and I’m afraid this stupid ridiculous Greenland situation will not even be in news in a few months(no matter how it turns out) as things get even stupider and more rediculous. Many more deaths in the U.S. More democratic institutions destroyed. Laws subverted in response to the backlash.

    This really sucks for you. It’s going to suck for everyone.

    Just hoping obese shithole has a heart attack asap.

    This is what trump does. He divides. My honest reaction to reading this “man fuck this asshole”. But they’re right. We need to burn this system and administration to the fucking ground. Age limit on president at 60-65, no billionare presidents, put the racist fascist fucks back in their place, charge and convict every single complicit cunt in this regime. Tear down and burn every single thing trump has put in place. Nobody gives a fuck if you apologize to foreigners on trumps behalf. You wanna do something? Vote. If you live in a city where ice is present then get out there and record, take pictures, blow whistles and horns. Talk to the next Gen voters, teens and young adults, advocate and teach for what is right.

    I mean, cmon. Every country can become like this, no people are special. Hating people for not instantly becoming martyrs by committing terrorism in their own country is a bit dumb.

    We have to nudge them a bit, fund resistances, saboteurs, maybe an outside intervention. Civilians are just civilians.

    This is how we get countries cut off from the world, who become eternal reprobates, and we never have good relations with them again.

  • I mean there are people that would blame me for the CCP’s actions just because I was born there… so… like…

    lol

    Now I guess I get double the blame for my family leaving China and now we have US Citizenship and voted blue every time 🙃, even tho like its really cis-het christian rich white men that controls all the media, and with that control, they have a huge sway over any “elections”, not to mention, political parties have control of how the presidential primaries are run…

    But sure, blame the civillians instead of those in power…

    I mean, I get it… it’s frustrating times and emotions are intense, but like… really? Lol

    I have asked every maga I know if they are signing up for the Trump wars and sending them Army, Navy, and marine sign up paper work. There’s not much I can do besides vote. I keep telling everyone this. That I guarantee like I do every year. That I will vote. But that is all I can do to stop this madness. Sure I can speak out and march. But it comes down to voting this fall.

    I see all your posts. And I understand that the government does not speak for yourself. I have compassion for your situation, of course. But, truly, your “I am sorry” really is useless. Please don’t go thinking that your “I am sorry” message is enough. That you are doing something. That message is akin to doing nothing. Hopefully, you are doing more than that.

    And also, dear Americans, whatever it is you are doing, you could be doing more.

    “Americans should take responsibility!” But when an American takes responsibility and apologized even though that person probably voted for someone else and is doing what they can to fight back “well fuck you”.

    So you want some hard pills to swallow?

    If you are mad at Trump, whether you’re from the US or not, but bought things from Amazon, still using Twitter, still using Facebook, still buying from Nestle, still using Uber, still using Robin Hood, or any of the who knows what companies that have given Trump money, then you’re compliant. Especially if you did that before the election. You helped fund this.

    You think Americans should rise up in the streets? Actually get up and do something instead of apologize online? Well you know that people can do both, right? Maybe ask people how they are getting involved instead of assuming they aren’t doing anything, and get, if they aren’t, that might get them off of their lazy asses.

    You think we should overthrow the government? Ok, where’s your military? Seems like most of the world leaders are willing to take the knee and let that lunatic run rampant because they are scared of our overblown military that, frankly, most of us don’t even want, so why aren’t you fighting? If your fully trained, well equipped military can’t handle the US, how do you expect a bunch of civilians to be able to? Where’s your help if that’s so easy? Sure our country is larger than most and about a third of a continent, but if it should be easy for us then it should be cake for you!

    Most of us didn’t vote for the guy, and he’s the least popular president in history, even lower than the second least popular president, which was Jim at his last term. “Oh but a third didn’t vote at all!” But you don’t know why they didn’t vote. Some might’ve been apathetic, but some might’ve been in our bullshit hospitals, and some might’ve been turned away at the polls, or maybe it’s because we’re working three jobs just to keep a roof over our head and enough shit food to keep from starving, who the fuck knows. Dude lost the popular vote both times but because we’ve got a fucked up voting system no one will change once they have won using it, he still won.

    I’m not trying to be a dick here, and I know you all are frustrated because of this nut job. We are, too. The country has been taken over by oligarchs and now you care because he’s threatening to invade places with white people.

    But you can’t tell people to have empathy and take responsibility then talk shit about them when they do. You can’t have it both ways.

    You can’t say that it’s shitty for people to paint with broad strokes and say an entire group of people is the exact same and demonize them, then do the same for an entire population of a country.

    You can’t say that it’s entirely on Americans when you’re still giving money to people backing him and aren’t fighting him either.

    So maybe instead of bitching about people who feel bad about something they didn’t do apologizing, figure out what you might be doing that’s contributing and stop it.

    Boycott the USA.

      These comments from people saying that every single American is an evil monster because of their government are displaying the exact same hatred and ignorance that allows fascism to thrive. Which explains why far-right politicians have been gaining power all over the world. Watch your backs, people from other countries looking down their noses at the US - you’re next if you don’t do something about your problems at home, like you’re saying Americans should do. You haven’t been doing a very good job so far.

      I’m fucking sick of watching Americans still use these services, buy these products. It’s fu king infuriating to the point where I’m saying shit to strangers outside. Stop supporting the boot on your neck!

      Most Americans won’t give up the slightest bit of comfort, and I’m bout to start throwing hands.

      For the down voters, wah wah ur poor Amazon, lazy fucks .
