I'm sure the EU will impose sanctions on the US for the actions of this administration, like they did with Russia. They wouldn't want to appear hypocritical, after all.
Feeling bad about it is all we ever do.
I never why we suppose to feel bad about our state in order to oppose to it. Shame do not lead to long term action; feeling bat about a state we do not run imply identify to it. This is an issue, we have to distinguish ourselves (as a collective) from the state.
Only the ones in the Americas? Why do the ones elsewhere in the world get a pass?
America: Literally rains death on other countries.
Americans: How dare you say death to America! You're the real problem with the world!
"How dare you not cry for the deaths of our troops! They only rape people because they need healthcare, you Hitler!"
I feel no attachment to the country that continuously attacked me and my people through the bipartisan police state.
Hey don't be mean, the pedophiles in charge of running the country are doing the best they can :(
Do you know how long I’ve been feeling bad about it?
Yeah, USA will lose. We're going to kill a bunch of good people along the way. That sucks. Hopefully there's like a rock bottom and we don't nuke the whole world before we hit it.
I was drawing pictures making fun of George Bush Sr. in 7th grade. I’ve felt bad about this place for uhhhh… a while.
Always was meme
Bad? I’m pretty sure you mean horrified, embarrassed and worn thin from fighting morons.
But bombing children pays for my healthcare you pos how can u say that??!!1! >:(
Luckily I am French
Better, I'm from Spain
Cocorico 🇫🇷💪
I thought I was the only Frenchman lol.
I wake up every morning thanking the Universe I was born in Canada.
i devote an hour a day to that i got shit to do tho
Already do. I get reminded everyday that my country is super evil but there's not much I can do about it aside from voting which from what I understand this sublemmy doesn't believe will do anything. So if that's the case, guess I'm just fucked anyway? No matter what I do, my country will bomb other countries to the ground and its my fault??
Yup. Keep going to work to fund atrocities domestically and overseas. When you're not doing that, show up at a demonstration. But don't ever demonstrate violently like the French or anything. That's bad, mkay?
😗 Can't tell if sarcastic. Are you saying become homeless and in forever debt instead of trying to survive?
If every American did just a bit of that simultaneously, nobody would be worrying about either. They'd be worrying about their country and it's consequences to the globe. Something Americans are incapable of. No mass unrest, no unrest to register. The job market is already upsidedown, again, under trump, again. What's the worst in tipping the scale over and bouncing off of rock bottom? It's what the world needs. It's what you need. It's what I need. China did it. The French still do it. Americans have lived catered to buy slaves and slave labor since this countries inception, ain't nobody willing to get uncomfortable even in the face of oppressive regime. So, yes. Get into unsecured debt. Try out homelessness while you protest in the streets. Nobody in their right minds goes to work, protest, then work again. Fucking commit or be honest that your so called values are hollow virtue signaling. Come on in, the waters fine.
"All you have to do is convince 150 million adults to sacrifice what little safety and security they feel they have to do a thing they've never personally experienced through decades of propaganda. Why are you still sitting there, crying?"
i'm assuming that this is snark, but this will come to pass eventually if that 150 million continues on this path.
Every reasonable person knows that. But people aren't reasonable. The average person is a complete fucking moron. Tack on to that idiocy, you've also got years of talk radio, podcasts, and Cambridge Analytica technology in social media affecting their brains and you're not going to reach them. That's not to say they can't be reached, but you're not going to convince them. There's not an argument or series of arguments that will reach them. They need to experience things to get out of that mindset. We're finally seeing that come to pass as layoffs, food and fuel costs are angering people. They're shaking their heads a little. We will get there. I have no idea how much damage will be done before then. I have no idea what systems are recoverable. I don't know if there will be too many people in concentration camps, I don't know if we're going to have any water or farmable land. And I don't know if there will be anything worth fighting for by the time enough people decide to fight. I suppose that's how many of these events play out in history. Authoritarian regimes are temporary by nature. Who survives them and how is always changing.
I'll take a moment to note some challenges about living and fighting in America. The country is huge. Moving people from one part to another is not trivial. Ask anyone who went to a big concert, or a hot vacation spot how it went and they will always mention the traffic. And that's just an uptick in people at one location. Doing things en masse requires infrastructure we don't have. And along with that infrastructure, any given spot has about 3 days of food without trucks. No one area (save for Central California) grows enough of a variety of foods to exist on. The central plains have wheat and corn, the coasts have fruit, the South has livestock. Not only do we only exist for a few days without resupply, the resupply routes are days of constant driving to do so from different parts of the country simultaneously. Most any Western State is the size of European Countries. To get produce from California to Washington DC is like moving it from Spain to Ukraine. Or Ireland to Uzbekistan.
So, tell me, how easy is it for an Irishman to convince parts of the UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland (just kidding, they'd never join anything), Italy, Austria, Greece, Czechia, Romania, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine and maybe even Georgia and Azerbaijan to keep supplying them with food and supplies as they do a general strike with potentially no forceful outcome? Or even that same Irishman to travel to the political seat of Uzbekistan with members of the aforementioned countries in tow in numbers large enough to affect change and make sure people are supplied along the way? You tell me how to make that happen and I'll do my part in mapping it out.
I don't think you realize that you are advocating for the destruction of lives more than the destruction of America. It is chaos and absorbs chaos. The system I am stuck in was made by design to bend instead of break and the obstinance and disconnect from both the corrupt elite and those deluded into supporting them is a larger barrier than people outside of the country understand.
I am an American, born here. I get it. Hardship is not the destruction of lives, nor is bankruptcy, nor is homelessness. The destruction of life is the destruction of life. What path are we on? How far down the tracks are you? The same track we're all tied to on this sinking ship. So, quick! Do nothing differently!!
Didn't you hear, They're doing a strike on may 1.
A whole complete day, the regime will crumble!!!!
The irony of this date and that normal countries have that day off (fully paid) anyway.
Achieved by people who actually and literally fought for it, where strikes went on for weeks and months, a virtual war of attrition.
We earned it, nothing was given.
And I'm going to use that day to ridicule TF out of these losers.
Kindly notify me once the revolution starts, and I'll participate. Otherwise, I'll just be throwing my life away for nothing in return by trying to start one myself. It would honestly do nothing but aid the fascists in their propaganda that leftists are violent and need to have their rights taken away. Therefore, I will only do that when there's nothing left of value in living, so at least I would go out in a bang.
Yes! We should feel bad! Unfortunately, there are people who think what that asshat does is awesome. My mother, who I won't speak to because two of the ladies in her sons' lives are now at risk. Fuck these people. They are selfish and frightened and they externalize their fear.
It didn't start with "that asshat". He just showed that americans openly approve of being evil cunts.
I'm an account dedicated to anti-Americanism and I think this is the lamest, laziest meme I've seen in weeks.
I'm not even OP and I think they said nothing wrong.
Americans should genuinely feel bad about being American.
If only the leadership felt anything or the people who supported them. Hopefully the non voters feel something...
At least we can make fun of our head of state no matter who is in charge, other countries not so much.
