I didn't export shit. I've been against our military industrial complex since I've known of its existence. You act like all of us are somehow in on this crap...
Yep. Ignorance is universal. I sure as hell actively voted against against this.
We will prevail
Thw vast majority of Americans have done essentially nothing to stop the tyranny of their government abroad, the most recent examples of which being the genocide in Gaza and the bombing of Yemen. Maybe you're in the minority that did something, but if not then living in California and voting blue is not enough to be innocent of the actions of the war machine.
You have 0 idea what's happening.
Do you know how long it takes and how hard it is to organize more people in just california than many entire countries have?
Protests, logistics, printing, hiring services., training, educating.
Take your pick and feel free to jump in and help. Or sit there and pretend you have any other thought than about laughing at others misfortune.
I do, it's nothing. Nothing is happening. And worse, I've seen what happened when some people tried to do something (i.e. Uncommitted). That's the moment when I lost all faith in Americans.
Nah, I'm watching here from the other side of the world.
I'd be lying to say that I'm not feeling a good deal of schadenfreude, but mostly I'm looking forward to the American Empire killing itself after its people failed—in fact actively refused—to reign it in for decades.
I don't give a shit what you're faith is in
Facts are youre a bigot who is painting the country with a wide brush, when you should be using a pencil.
People who do that are lazy and simply want others to do everything
So you can stay out of the way.
Respond or not, feed you're insecure need to downvote and get last word.
Here.. I upvoted you. Know why? Cause fake internet points mean as much as you're opinion
I'm not; I do sympathize with the people who actually tried. Problem is there's not a whole lot of them.
Done.
Thanks :). Also you wanted to say "your," not "you're".
Sorry, you don't really get to live here and not be a part of it.
Right...bcz i signed the agreements, and worked with the CIA, FBI, etc to instigate this stuff.. oh wait, no..., no, turns out I didn't do any of that. And it might be a shocker to you, but im just some dude who happens to have been born to American parents.
If it were up to me, I would tear down our entire military industrial complex. But, guess what, it isn't. And I'd probably get assassinated for trying.
It's almost like the US is an extremely large and diverse place, and that even different states have different ideas.
Yeah, actually, I don't blame the population of Israel for what their government is doing, the same way I don't blame Russian citizens for what their government is doing in Ukraine, bcz im not a fucking dumbass who thinks those two things are the same.
So you want every single one American who looked around and said "this is fucked, we should never be doing anything like this" to suffer. For something they never even agreed with. Just like so many people around you
Tell me: what fucking good end does this serve, huh?
Is it such a hard fucking concept that governments do things against the will of the people? I'm in California, and the majority of us here are completely against what is happening and the man baby in charge, thus why the Fed is specifically targeting California, just because he can and to prove he can. I'd happily take to the streets with a rifle, but I'm not about to be a martyr since it would take more than an individual or even a small group.
At least your mom says you cool, because you are a fucking tool.
A majority of people voted for Trump, and the elections were not rigged. Maybe you're not among them, but the fact that you live in the same country as them means that you share the responsibility.
If you don't want to share it, organize and fight back. There's still time left before the US becomes a police state comparable to Russia or China.
This is not true.
https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/statistics/elections/2024
A plurality of the electorate voted for this administration, not a majority.
https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2025/2024-presidential-election-voting-registration-tables.html
So of the 238 million voting age citizens, 77 million (32% of the voting age citizens) voted for this administration
Since that many didn't vote for the orange mussolini the next best thing should be trying to get Democrat popular states break from the union California might have the best chance for independence that's your only best option otherwise you won't survive if not dead then in prison for the coming next 5 years.
A majority of people who voted*, voted for Trump (even this is not fully solid fact).
Lol. "I organized and fought back, so now what has already happened is magically not my responsibility anymore"? What kind of magical thinking is this?
Least y’all could have done was vote against the fascist, but that would have meant voting for the black woman. So you guys just couldn’t do it. Fuck Americans, you guys need to fix your shit and stay out of global politics, get in the back of the line cause nobody wants to hear it. All you morons aew to blame for this
75 million of us did.
Shop whining on lemmy, most lemmy voters voted Harris. You're preaching to the choir
Sorry, your mom is wrong.
I take pride in being disliked by Americans
Weird flex. I'm not an American and I don't like you.
Anything to convince yourself you're right
Man you really are a bigot, aren't ya? Yelling at people who have nothing your misery?
Nice look
Im an indigenous brown person whose country was bombed by Americans and who is sick of hearing your bullshit. Calling every brown person who complains about your war crimes a bigot is quite a tactic, you gonna call me a wetback too now? Or revert to your old Indian slurs? White leftist Americans calling indigenous people bigots has to be a textbook example of what the fuck happened with the American left, you’re all toxic just like the right, two sides to a garbage coin
All Americans are garbage, even the left. You guys have no idea what being left is, even your leftists are insane
You're more like trump than you think. I'm done with you.
