There are good people and bad people in every country. Yes, the US government is bad. Yes, the Russian government is bad. That does not mean every person in those countries are also bad.
There are people in Russia trying their best to resist Putin. People risk their lives doing that and people have died doing that.
There are also people here in the US doing their best to resist fascism. Here too, people have died doing that.
It is unreasonable to expect every American to oppose fascism, just like it is unreasonable to expect that of every Greenlander. Remember there is a small percentage of Greenlanders who do support Trump.
Opposing fascism is difficult, dangerous, and slow. It takes a long time for change to happen. Think about all the bad governments out there. I'm sure that for each one you can find resistance to them that has been around for a long time.
So if the situation was flipped, would you want us to make a post complaining about Greenlanders apologizing?
I think you're focusing a bit to much on the last paragraph. In context of the first few paragraphs I think it's clear that they don't mean individual Americans are not doing enough, but instead the political opposition is not percieved as much. And I think assume you would agree the Democratic party as a whole is too complicit.
You are correct.
No I want to make a post about Canadians apologizing. I want the world to go back to normal.
Who has died resisting Trump, nobody.
