I'm a trans American sitting here everyday wondering when they will send me to a fucking camp or prison for existing. The problem is that it's only people like me who ever go out and do anything because Americans are selfish as fuck. Anything that doesn't directly affect them is a non-issue. I'm not sorry to the world because I've been protesting, speaking out, and generally being defiant for years. Anyone who says they are sorry are the same idiots who send thoughts and prayers.

I'm a rich straight white American man and I'm out here protesting too. You're not alone, that's how they want you to feel so you give up.

But yeah, most Americans are out here being damned slugs unwilling to slightly inconvenience themselves for the future of the country.

They're not done with brown people just yet, and they just started floating the idea of registering all the autists so they are probably gonna do that minority first. Please wait your turn.

I truly do care and feel for all Americans right now. What any one individual can do IS limited and we need to acknowledge that. Of course, throughout the course of history there has been "heros" but most of us aren't and demanding that all Americans that does see the madness should "do something about it" is really not helping. I mean, i hope that some of you (us based people) will, but being in you position... I dont know, i hope I'd had the courage, but man... I dont know. Also, what tf do i do? My great "contribution" is trying to boycot American products... Bigwoop me.

The people who flooded the subreddit with sorry are fucking dumb.

And when you blame all Americans, this is what you sound like:

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Currently adult Americans had like ten different elections that allowed them to not end up in this mess. They failed like 8 of those, so here we are.
The amount of blame is directly proportional to the amount of agency people had. US was, until very recently, a democracy. A bit shitty one, but still, so everyone who was of a voting age share some of that responsibility.

Hitler was elected multiple times as well. His party didn't have any more support than trump does. If we had more than a two party system, we would have elected Trump by the same margins as Hitler.

The problem is that kind and peaceful people are so reluctant to respond to violence with violence. If the first Nazis, upon starting their drivel, were promptly punched in the mouth, and that happened repeatedly, I feel they would have gotten a lot less done.

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That's a very persistent myth, but no, Hitler did a powergrab specifically using violence as an instrument. He got all the power because his supporters ditched the institutions they had and used terrorist threats as a justification.
America still has some institutions left, even though current dictator wishes to dismantle them all. Don't let him, he wants you to ditch last bits of the political institutions and start a civil war, because he controls all the instruments that will let him win it. Your only chance of winning is to use the only thing fascists are afraid of - proper government.

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Yeah. After he was already elected into a public office.

Americans comparing themselves to holocaust victims, a classic! You're a fucking awful person.

[–] inkzombie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You're a shit person. People are getting sent to death camps. Kids are being kidnapped and tortured. Brown people and queer people are the targets just like during the Holocaust. Eat shit.

[–] YummyEntropy@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Keep using minorities as a bludgeon you shitstain.

I AM A FUCKING MINORITY YOU DIPSHIT

[–] YummyEntropy@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Wow! Me too! So what? Why are you on the internet pulling a #NotAllAmericans? Does your shitty country (and the shitty people in it) that by your own admission has betrayed you need or want to be defended by you?

[–] inkzombie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Damn I wonder who we got it from? Oh yeah Europe. The continent so ashamed that they bombed themselves to hell and back in WW2 after raping every other continent that they pretend it's just us that's the problem.

[–] YummyEntropy@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Hahahahaha what the fuck lmao please don't delete your comments!

Edit: Oh my god bro thinks I'm from Europe, convenient out-group I guess.

[–] inkzombie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 days ago

No one assumed where you're from. This entire thread has been about Europe. I'm not randomly gonna bring up somewhere else. Eat shit.
