I’m an account dedicated to anti-Americanism and I think this is the lamest, laziest meme I’ve seen in weeks.
I’m sure the EU will impose sanctions on the US for the actions of this administration, like they did with Russia. They wouldn’t want to appear hypocritical, after all.
Correct and I do.
Luckily I am French
Cocorico 🇫🇷💪
aren’t you ashamed
If only the leadership felt anything or the people who supported them. Hopefully the non voters feel something…
I feel no attachment to the country that continuously attacked me and my people through the bipartisan police state.
Yeah, USA will lose. We’re going to kill a bunch of good people along the way. That sucks. Hopefully there’s like a rock bottom and we don’t nuke the whole world before we hit it.
Feeling bad about it is all we ever do.
Damn, ain’t that the truth
You’re right and I do. 😞
Already do. I get reminded everyday that my country is super evil but there’s not much I can do about it aside from voting which from what I understand this sublemmy doesn’t believe will do anything. So if that’s the case, guess I’m just fucked anyway? No matter what I do, my country will bomb other countries to the ground and its my fault??
You can get organized. Join a party like PSL!
Yup. Keep going to work to fund atrocities domestically and overseas. When you’re not doing that, show up at a demonstration. But don’t ever demonstrate violently like the French or anything. That’s bad, mkay?
Didn’t you hear, They’re doing a strike on may 1.
A whole complete day, the regime will crumble!!!
The irony of this date and that normal countries have that day off (fully paid) anyway.
Achieved by people who actually and literally fought for it, where strikes went on for weeks and months, a virtual war of attrition.
We earned it, nothing was given.
And I’m going to use that day to ridicule TF out of these losers.Kindly notify me once the revolution starts, and I’ll participate. Otherwise, I’ll just be throwing my life away for nothing in return by trying to start one myself. It would honestly do nothing but aid the fascists in their propaganda that leftists are violent and need to have their rights taken away. Therefore, I will only do that when there’s nothing left of value in living, so at least I would go out in a bang.
Do you actually care, that your labour and tax are used to commit the gravest horrors onto other people, or do you just pretend to care for virtue signaling? If it’s the former then there is much more you can do than vote every few years.
Is there? I can protest, but that’s more so to raise awareness and visibility than actually doing anything to overthrow the government. I suppose if I somehow rally enough support during a protest, then I might be able to pull my own January 6, but that’s assuming the coup will succeed. Furthermore, I’m not good at hacking government interfaces, nor am I a super soldier. So I have no skills related to toppling governments. That being said, what’s your suggestion in my position? Keep in mind, I have people who depend on me being alive right now, so I’m not going to go on a suicide mission that may or may not succeed. If it had a 100% chance of success, then maybe we could talk about it.
There’s no need to sacrifice yourself, such actions rarely lead to good results. Everyone has their own way to contribute, but historically some sort of organizing effort has always been necessary for regular people to wield power over their rulers. Organizing takes different shapes depending on your goal. But suppose your goal is to disrupt the US war machine.
Look for small ways in which you might be part of or adjacent to this machine. Does your workplace work with arms manufacturers or other infrastructure used in warfare? Is there a heavily complicit company in or near your neighbourhood? Does your city/municipality have contracts with complicit companies? These are all things you can organise against. A campaign starts with awareness. Stand with a sign next to a company building and talk to workers about how their employer is contributing to mass murder. Or organize a protest. Or do something else that better fits your qualities.
Maybe set up a petition and build your campaign around that. Talk to people in your environment to agitate them. Educate yourself so you can educate others. After and during the awareness stage you start to recruit other people who want to take action. Together you can build a plan to achieve your goals. This plan should create the pressure necessary to change policy or supply chains either through a worker strike, direct action, mass mobilisation or maybe something else.
Read about organizing tactics from the book secrets of a successful organizer (or another book about the topic)
There are so many ways in which you can organize it’s impossible for me to tell you what’s best for you to do. It all depends on your qualities and your surroundings. But you can at least try, and learn from your experience. No one person can change the current course of the US. The threat of mass organization is the only thing that scares the people in power into moving at least a little bit towards the demands of the people they rule over.
This answer is not super coherent since it’s such a broad topic but I just want to impress upon you that being a citizen of the world means to engage with the world and how it impacts you and how you impact it. With enough people you can topple governments, but with less you can still significantly impact supply chains and/or policy. If you do nothing we are guaranteed to lose. If we all do something and coordinate, we can collectively wield more power than the people in charge.
you’re a country of cowardly Uncle Tom’s.
America: Literally rains death on other countries.
Americans: How dare you say death to America! You’re the real problem with the world!
“How dare you not cry for the deaths of our troops! They only rape people because they need healthcare, you Hitler!”
quit bringing this shit up or else you’re going to split the vote between our pro-raper candidate and their pro-raper candidate!!!

Lmfao what a spoiler
Only the ones in the Americas? Why do the ones elsewhere in the world get a pass?
Better?
Better.
You think I don’t know that? I’m living inside of it.
Bad? I’m pretty sure you mean horrified, embarrassed and worn thin from fighting morons.
