I am choosing to tell you the fuck off. Don't mistake this for an exchange of ideals. You are behaving in a disgusting fashion, and you need to be told. I respect that it comes from a good place, because we ultimately want the same thing, but to treat people who already feel powerless as morally bankrupt is beyond absurd.

You are kicking the powerless while they are down, because you don't like the outcome. Get some perspective.

    Same as I have chosen to tell Americans to take action and undo some of the damage they have caused themselves and the world

    Don’t mistake this for an exchange of ideals.

    Neither you, nor I, have discussed ideals so no worries

    You are behaving in a disgusting fashion, and you need to be told. I respect that it comes from a good place, because we ultimately want the same thing, but to treat people who already feel powerless as morally bankrupt is beyond absurd.

    When someone cares more about their job than the fact their country is slaughtering hundreds of people around the world and currently, actively starving the people of Cuba for no reason other than their Pedophile president wants to hide his kiddy fiddling activities... are they not, just a bit, morally bankrupt?

    You are kicking the powerless while they are down, because you don’t like the outcome. Get some perspective.

    WOW... if the American people are powerless... what do you call the Iranian children killed in school?

    This isn't a competition of who is a bigger victim. People are suffering in both halves of the world, and you're here telling American's they should be killing themselves in protest because their president is out there committing war crimes. The irony of your self-righteous attitude, as you sit here projecting your pearl-clutching sense of moral rightness onto others who are just struggling to keep breathing, is fucking insane.

    America is not my country. I just don't let bullies spew shit without being told. Do yourself and the rest of the world a favor, and reflect on the things you say.

    Literally I am not. That is the exaggeration they jump to to pretend they have no choice.

    Multiple times I said that a few hours a week of communicating with like minded people or actual organizations that are moving against the push for fascism would go a long way... no self immolating, no dying, no starving.

    The thing is most people would not even consider stop using Xitter or Facebook as a form of protest... that is too much to ask of them apparently
