      I didn’t export shit. I’ve been against our military industrial complex since I’ve known of its existence. You act like all of us are somehow in on this crap…

        Yep. Ignorance is universal. I sure as hell actively voted against against this.

        We will prevail

        Thw vast majority of Americans have done essentially nothing to stop the tyranny of their government abroad, the most recent examples of which being the genocide in Gaza and the bombing of Yemen. Maybe you’re in the minority that did something, but if not then living in California and voting blue is not enough to be innocent of the actions of the war machine.

          You have 0 idea what’s happening.

          Do you know how long it takes and how hard it is to organize more people in just california than many entire countries have?

          Protests, logistics, printing, hiring services., training, educating.

          Take your pick and feel free to jump in and help. Or sit there and pretend you have any other thought than about laughing at others misfortune.

            I do, it’s nothing. Nothing is happening. And worse, I’ve seen what happened when some people tried to do something (i.e. Uncommitted). That’s the moment when I lost all faith in Americans.

            Take your pick and feel free to jump in and help

            Nah, I’m watching here from the other side of the world.

            Or sit there and pretend you have any other thought than about laughing at others misfortune.

            I’d be lying to say that I’m not feeling a good deal of schadenfreude, but mostly I’m looking forward to the American Empire killing itself after its people failed—in fact actively refused—to reign it in for decades.

              I don’t give a shit what you’re faith is in

              Facts are youre a bigot who is painting the country with a wide brush, when you should be using a pencil.

              People who do that are lazy and simply want others to do everything

              So you can stay out of the way.

              Respond or not, feed you’re insecure need to downvote and get last word.

              Here… I upvoted you. Know why? Cause fake internet points mean as much as you’re opinion

                I’m not; I do sympathize with the people who actually tried. Problem is there’s not a whole lot of them.

                Done.

                Thanks :). Also you wanted to say “your,” not “you’re”.

          It’s almost like the US is an extremely large and diverse place, and that even different states have different ideas.

          Right…bcz i signed the agreements, and worked with the CIA, FBI, etc to instigate this stuff… oh wait, no…, no, turns out I didn’t do any of that. And it might be a shocker to you, but im just some dude who happens to have been born to American parents.

          If it were up to me, I would tear down our entire military industrial complex. But, guess what, it isn’t. And I’d probably get assassinated for trying.

        European countries might find ways to be less dependent on the US, economically and politically. The fall of the US will have repercussions, but the rest of the world is already preparing for it. I don’t think Europe will suffer that much… China will be all to happy to replace the US as a commercial partner.

          They fall to fascism too. Our cancer has metastasized and fascist rhetoric has been gaining traction around the globe.

            In that case I’d say Europe, or at least EU Europe, is doomed no matter what happens to America. It’s not like America overthrowing their fascists (extremely unlikely) will do much to convince Poles or Germans that immigrants are actually cool.
