The citizens of the United States are responsible for their country’s actions - even if they themselves ignore the atrocities committed by their government.
Everywhere, the post is being removed - with the same generic reason: “No politics.”
Nevertheless, this obviously needs to be said, since it apparently still isn’t public knowledge in the U.S.
Unfortunately, I don’t see it that way. I’ve found time and again that even US citizens in the Fediverse tend to display a massive amount of completely misplaced, naive national pride.
It seems to me that even those here, due to the oligarchy in the US that controls the media, are massively misinformed or uninformed despite their flirtation with free media.
Added to this is decades of propaganda that Americans apparently cannot overcome even here.
The best example is this post: Instead of the all-too-necessary self-criticism, there are only excuses - even though the U.S. president is a pedophile and a serious criminal. Nevertheless, U.S. citizens act as if that were not the reality.
Again, where are you getting that? The people that are not aware of how much of a criminal Trump is aren’t using a platform created with the purpose of taking power away from big tech.
Every day I worry about what idiotic thing the US government is going to do next. And every day I worry about how establishment democrats are going to use republicans as an excuse to shift their politics to the right. I am painfully aware about how the US is making the world worse, and so are most of the people I interact with.
My point is that US citizens could remove their criminal president, but they don’t do so despite all his criminal machinations and despite the most serious war crimes.
Come do it yourself, you coward.
How? Most people here are one missed paycheck away from having their lives upended; they have no time, money, or power. Look into the stats on poverty, healthcare, etc. in the US. The state of affairs is abysmal.
