I vote and regularly attend protests, but lately I've also been pointing out to people on social media that whataboutism is not very effective.

Please explain it to me. And by that I don't mean a general explanation of how journalism works, because I probably know a whole lot more about that than you do, but an explanation of why you believe that the US, together with Israel, should not be held responsible for the murder of innocent children. And then I would also like to know what your motivation is for defending the current US regime, because I don't understand it.
This is likely a physical defense reaction against the prosecution of serious criminals who are waging a war to cover up their own misdeeds. Perhaps he should seek advice from Bibi.
Yes, I'm simplistic when it comes to this: I wouldn't accept being ruled by organized crime that covers up its heinous crimes by starting a war. But hey, it's nice that you know the names of two renowned psychologists.
I have given up hope that the US population can be counted on. They have allowed too many atrocities to happen, and it is equally obvious that they will not even act for their own sake.
I simply do not accept arguments such as "there is no evidence," because only the worst can be expected from the US - the evidence is the president who leads the US.
Looking at the comments here, even here in the Fediverse, it's quite easy to understand how the US regime is possible despite its completely obvious depravity.
Of course it is tragic, heartbreaking even. But what bothers me about the term tragic in this context is that it makes it sound as if the deaths of these innocent girls were inevitable, as if they had been killed in a natural disaster for which no one is responsible.
However, that is not the case here at all: these girls were murdered by ruthless criminals.
I didn't want to start a discussion about the pros and cons of megathreads, I just wanted to ask whether this is common practice in the Fediverse. That doesn't seem to be the case - and for good reason, given the decentralized nature of the network. For the sake of simplicity, it would be welcome for some topics, but I'm sure we'll manage just fine without it.
We really need to see that it is in our own interests to eradicate US lobbying. This also means that all EU politicians who have allowed themselves to be bribed must be removed from office.
In my opinion, this includes the majority of politicians from established parties who have been in government in EU countries in the last 10 years.
It is simply necessary to hold them accountable, as voters have rightly lost confidence in them. If there are no consequences, parties such as the AfD in Germany will prevail, which has "Alternative" in its name but absurdly tries to conceal the fact that it is nothing more than MAGA with that: a neo-Nazi party that propagates fascism and is controlled by the same billionaire financiers who helped Nazi ideology succeed in the US - for the same reasons: the realization of the omnipotence trauma of fascist billionaires.
This is not tragic, but a war crime - and this war is itself a crime, simply because it is completely contrary to international law.

That goes without saying, given that this is a completely illegal war of aggression. It is inconceivable that the EU is nevertheless acting as if these were allies. This war is a crime and serves to distract from further crimes: in the US, from the fact that the country is run by a fascist pedophile ring, and in Israel, from genocidal fascists whose agent, Epstein, made all this possible in the first place.
It is outrageous that the EU has not withdrawn from NATO and continues to supply weapons to the monsters in Israel.
