War is a game to Americans because it’s a far away concept, since they always invade. What America needs is to have war come to their land, when it’s their homes on fire and their streets are battlegrounds, maybe they’ll stop being such war loving trash.
This is the fault of every American, from MAGA dirtbags to leftists infighting while the fascists win. You and your garbage society led us to this.
I just hope America suffers, the way they’ve made everyone else suffer through the decades
The US locks up 20% of the world’s prison population but only has 5% of the World’s entire population.
The War on Drugs is a genocide for minorities with millions of families destroyed and millions of lives lost. Militarization of police and full on invasion of residential neighborhoods is normal. Every single overdose is preventable with harm reduction.
Every year we lose 40k-50k people to gun violence. We have lost more people in the last twenty years to gun violence than every single service member dead in every war we have ever had.
Being shot to death is our number one killer for children.
I can’t even believe how ignorant your statements are. We are suffering, I have lost multiple people in my life to gun violence and drug overdose. Just about everyone has.
The real enemy is our ruling class, but apparently you think the average person needs to suffer more because you have bought into the propaganda that the typical US citizen is responsible for this shit show rather than being oppressed wage slaves for capitalism.
the typical US citizen is responsible for this shit show
Can the typical murican vote? Then they’re responsible, yes.
Can the typical murican do something but chooses not to? Then they’re responsible, yes.
Your comment just lists how muricans suffer from their own bad choices, but what you replied to was on how murican military brings suffering to others outside your country. You seem to have missed that,
You guys had 9/11 and still ask Why us? so yeah, you’d need an invasion with boots on your ground and even then i doubt you’d wake up.
Yeah, Americans decided to attack themselves for the War on Drugs instead of taking care of our fellow man. Sure 1 in 3 Americans deserve to be locked up and disenfranchised.
You are just exposing your profound ignorance.
What of all the Americans who didn’t vote for this administration, do they deserve to die as well?
Go satiate you bloodlust somewhere else and may you get what you wish on others. Disgusting.
This is my theory, europe saw the devastation of ww2, they saw how it killed and maimed millions of people of all classes, and really by necessity they built a progressive society out of the ashes. They needed universal healthcare because everyone’s job got bombed, they needed workers rights to vacation because there weren’t enough regular jobs for people.
US never had that, we went from wild west to wealthiest country in the world with little transition and the same wild west economics of 150 years ago still runs the country today.
The shitty thing is we actually were on the path to being on par with European post war countries when it comes universal healthcare. It’s just that anytime FDR or Truman tried to implement it, universal healthcare got shot down by greedy and racist politicians. We also used to have a much more inclusive and well funded welfare state and banking/investing regulations, but Republicans over the last 50 years voted to get rid of them.
I’m not sure I care for you lumping all of us in the same boat. I am not my government and I’ve done my best to prevent this. In the end many of us are just cogs with little power. And some of us are indeed suffering.
And yet the french will riot in the streets when they try to raise the retirement age and we just bitch on the internet when trump kills people by the thousands on a whim. We have exactly the government we deserve.
i respect their opinion cause as a whole americans also need to account for their neighbors. At the same time it’s near impossible cause America is huge and not everyone travels. It took bernie’s fighting oligarchy tour an entire year to pass a foreign concept of democracy to some areas.
Add to that the constant American exceptionalism that is pushed to us Americans. We’re constantly told that our military is by far the best and can handle any adversary easily. When you think you have that much power, you want to use it. As Trump’s dementia continues to set in, he has less and less filter on using that power.
Americans were steeped in “we’re number 1!” At what exactly? I just saw a video of homeless children living in tents in American inner cities. So I don’t know what this “best country in the world” talk is all about.
American media is so corrupting, it teaches them to love war and violence and to always see themselves as the good guys no matter what conflict or war. Same with policing, where American tv and movie heroes are the cops who break the rules, abuse suspects and murder just to “get the job done”. So the whole culture is hammering you with this “Americans can do no wrong” mentality.
When you look at it from the outside it’s maddening, it’s like talking to a drug addict who insists he isn’t. But I can see why Americans living in America don’t see how messed up their views are, and this includes the American left which is very different than the left elsewhere. Nobody seems to be left enough to anyone and every other leftists is “fake”, nobody is good enough to be an ally. I honestly don’t get how America can survive with so much brain rot.
#1 most billionaires that’s what it all boils down to. High gdp per capita, highest gdp, and it’s all just corrolaries of catering the economy to billionaires.
It’s not even just the media. It’s everything. Even when I go to my local AHL team games they not only do the national anthem to enforce nationalism, but they’ve also started doing god bless America to enforce the Christo fascism. It’s really revolting.
I see your point, but it would have to be something massive and sustained long term. 9-11 was on home turf, and it didn’t exactly persuade Americans to chill out and do much internal reflection. Quite the opposite.
The British empire probably experienced the same sort of thing, everything happened somewhere else. When it turned up in France and the beaches of Normandy, shit gets a bit more real.
I’m an American and fuck it sure feels like actually getting bombed would help people see what war really fucking is. I don’t think it’d end well, but it might be a lesson we actually need.

You’re still missing the point and I’m certainly not the one with a bloodlust.

Some of us are out and about trying to make waves. What the fuck else are we to do?
Yes we’re less than 10% of the population. The other 90% does not give a fuck if you die, they just want cheaper gas.
You are walking around holding signs. You dont strike, you dont burn government buildings down. You hold signs the fascist in power laughs at.
How the hell do you know what I do? You don’t know me.

One would think the corpses of veterans would be enough for that.
