Ahh, yes. Me, in another country has the same power as the folks living in that country.
Yes. Yes you do. Americans have power through voting. There’s no election. They can protest. They are. Fuck off you keyboard warrior. You’re not helping
Ive seen bigger protests over a library closing than what america has shown with their democracy falling. You let your leader run his mouth about other countries, prepare to hear shit about your own!
Collective punishment is a war crime.
That's the point. Someone living in California has the same amount of sway with the president as someone from Bangladesh.
What do you think they're going to do? Go Join Wick on a state thousands of miles away? Send our representatives an angry letter? Succeed and be rolled back to the stone age? Lose their job so they can hold a sign just about everyone already agrees with in the snow? Pick a fight with every cop they see?
Make a Venn diagram. Put everything that's effective and realistic on one side and televising a revolution so joey in his mother's basement in Liverpool can feel like he's watching an Avengers movie on the other. You'll have two circles.
I stg these Europeans would be mad at Luke Skywalker if he didn't explain what he was doing and didn't live streamed the trench run. Go google what OpSec is and, please, shut the fuck up.
This is like yelling at the hostages in a bank robbery that they're not trying hard enough to be saved while the police watch outside with popcorn. All despite the fact that the bank robbers are going to come outside and be a problem for the police next.
You are in the same boat as the hostages. You have the same responsibility. You will not be able to explain to the boot that it's not your job. I know decades of not having to provide for your own defense had addled the tactical and reasonable sides of your brains, but it's time for you to get a little perspective.
Those people in the West Bank should just tell Israel to stop.
Why didn't the Jews simply vote and protest?
The israel that the us is supplying with weapons so the genocided can now be the genociders? That israel? The one that is killing innocent children?
Yeah, the one that I have no control over because I live in a sham democracy where people are too caught up in their day to day lives to see what is being done to us.
Are you seriously comparing yourself to victims in an active war?
Vigilantism is the only way this is going to end - no need to be a citizen for that. If you can afford a ride to whichever golf course he frequents, then yes your power to fix this is about the same as the average 'murican.
...and honestly, a foreigner doing it would be much less divisive - you may just save us from a civil war.
But yeah, whatever spine the colonists had that built our country has melted into a nice moldable putty for our oppressors to play with. If you've still got a few vertebrae, we could use a hand.
