This right here. The United States didn't launch shit. tRUMP started an illegal campaign, unsanctioned and unwarranted. Just like he did in Venezuela, just like he did when he started murdering people in boats in the Gulf of Mexico. He's a war criminal. WE didn't launch missiles targeting a school and murdering a bunch of little girls, HE DID.
Except the money to launch these things are coming from your tax dollars. Trump gives those orders, but God knows how many Americans need to listen to them so this bullshit can happen. It's America doing this alright.
Like it or not, the US president is wielding the US like a cudgel at the rest of the world and the individual American is powerless to stop him.
Oh really? Did he sail down there and do it all by himself? Or was it the US Military that did it?
Like it or not Trump is President of USA because the American people elected him!
So it is indeed true that US started the illegal campaign, and bombed a girls school, and the people of USA are as guilty in this as the German people were about the Nazi atrocities of WW2.
You don't get to wash your hands for the entire population of USA, that chose to vote for the obvious psychopath, and the about a third of the population of USA that still support Trump and what the administration is doing.
Like it or not, this is America, this is who you are now!!!
lolwut? You think his election was unanimous?
There is obviously election interference. There was a mailbox on fire in a blue city, bomb threats called where dem voters were. There was no evidence for interference in 2020 and it has piled up for 2024. When I voted my notification paper did not come out of the machine. They have gerrymandered everything and are doing everything to discriminate against women and black people so that it's harder for them to vote.
Using google, Amazon, or Microslop? Because there is a reason these assholes have all this power. That's why I'm doing a lot to protect privacy, big corps, and fight facism that way.
You're right to say he was elected. Which means it's a really stupid oversight on your part to say it's "all" Americans guilty for it, considering quite a few of us did NOT vote to elect him.
That's correct. Neither do you get to implicate the entire population.
As a nation Americans as a collective of a nation are guilty.
No one else is responsible for the American government than Americans.
Thanks for that. Damn. I'm so tired of getting buried under fascism and getting beat up for someone else's shit at the same time.
They should try being LGBT here right now.
Buffalox, What country are you from that 100% of your hands are clean, smartass?
I do not claim my hands are clean, it was the poster I responded to that claimed that.
This person is right. All of America is MAGA in the eyes of the world. It will continue to be MAGA until it revolts and crushes their leaders and their families and their businesses and their way of life. Until then, every American is MAGA or a coward, and I honestly don't know which is worse.
The difference between the US being 100% MAGA or being 30% MAGA seems negligible, given that MAGA policy happens either way.
Well then the "world" is wrong. Stop being so fucking stupid and abandoning factual reality.
You sound like that Tesseract guy. It must be everyone else that's wrong. Not Americans. Factual reality is that Americans caused this mess and no amount of "I didn't vote that way" whining will change how you're viewed.
I know my opinion isn't popular, not even with me, but this is the way it is now.
It is sadly true. Just like the Nazis in the past, we Americans are all in the same bag whether we like it or not. Can't really blame you.
Yeah ok, we're all Nazis now apparently. Cool.
Kinda, yeah. We are currently sitting at the table with Nazis. They are our administration, and we have yet to clear them from the table. And until we do, it's not unfair for other nations and their people to assume we're Nazis as well.
If we don't want to look like Nazis then we have to clean house until none of the filth remains. And if you're not willing to do that, then you should get used to the same scorn Germans had to deal with after Hitler, because you deserve it.
TL;DR Don't want to be accused of being a Nazi, then we shouldn't let Nazis sit at our table.
Do you think that people worldwide made distinctions on who the "good" German's were while the Nazis steamrolled Europe?
Look, I don't like it but this is what the rest of the world is going to see. Relax, if we didn't want people to think this maybe we should have fought harder than just thinking voting would solve all our problems in a broken system.
Do you think literally ever German was responsible for Nazi policies?
Do you think it's WRONG to say every single Japanese person deserved to die in the American nuclear bombings, even children and infants? I do. I don't care if other people are so stupid that they make such careless generalizations. We should all be better than that. You're excusing their bigotry.
Voting did solve our problem, not voting is what caused this. Another one you stupid fucking keyboard revolutionaries, right?
No, I am not going to accept blatant falsehoods to make non-Americans feel better about their bigotry and I am not taking the blame for something I'm not responsible for.
Lmao my god man, get a grip. You're making it worse and sound like a hyper nationalistic jackass.
Your opinion is wrong, factually. It is based on an incredibly poor understanding of the situation. You're just looking to excuse your bigotry.
Some Americans are to blame, some are not. Which incredibly simple concept are you not getting? Democracy? Or the fact that the US is made up of more than one individual?
There is no logical basis for your bullshit argument and thankfully, no matter how presumptuous and pompous you apparently are, you don't speak for the entire rest of the world.
Unfortunately unlike previous decades, you Americans don't get to ignore the other 98% of humanity. Welcome to the century of American humiliation. You chose it, you live with the consequences.
You're the one ignoring a huge chunk of our population. Shove your hypocrisy up your ass.
Oh, and also apparently we're simultaneously policing the globe but also ignoring it entirely?
Yes and no. He gave the orders. He didn't actually do the actions to make them happen. "I was just following orders" still doesn't work.
