I’m trans I barely get treated like a person and have my options severely limited. Don’t give me that shit about how every American is responsible when we tried to tell people and got ridiculed and called slurs for it and got rape threats. Kiss my ass.

“think about how you view other countries, for example Russia”

Okay, I do not at all in any way think about the average Russian citizen the way people on this fucking site seem to think about the average American citizen. The idea that I would demand those innocent people essentially commit suicide through armed conflict is demented, yet there’s no such qualms about Americans.

All that being said though, I have to agree, going to random communities and saying you’re sorry is useless. It only serves to make you feel slightly better and does nothing to actually help the situation, akin to wishing thoughts and prayers.

Oh look, a post which has no informational content and who’s only possible outcome is to create division amongst the civilian populations of two allied countries.

Oh look, it is posted by an account who has a perfectly normal comment history but a strange affinity for posting content which creates a comment section full of divisive conversations between:

• Greenland and US Citizens (This thread, Again here, )
• US Citizens (MAGA v Not, Same but using the Charlie Kirk angle, same but using the anti-vaxx angle)
• AI vs Anti-AI (Post)
• US Citizens vs The world (Tariffs Angle)
• Racial Tensions (Here)

I mean, cmon. Every country can become like this, no people are special. Hating people for not instantly becoming martyrs by committing terrorism in their own country is a bit dumb.

We have to nudge them a bit, fund resistances, saboteurs, maybe an outside intervention. Civilians are just civilians.

This is how we get countries cut off from the world, who become eternal reprobates, and we never have good relations with them again.

This is how some of you sound

No usian thinks “I’m sorry” is enough. It’s just a thing to let the world know we are not all crazy. Liberals are continually in shock that the orange child is doing what he said he would do. And some things no one thought he would do. Conservatives continue getting orange dust on their lips. It’s going to be a long fall for the U.S. and I’m afraid this stupid ridiculous Greenland situation will not even be in news in a few months(no matter how it turns out) as things get even stupider and more rediculous. Many more deaths in the U.S. More democratic institutions destroyed. Laws subverted in response to the backlash.

This really sucks for you. It’s going to suck for everyone.

Just hoping obese shithole has a heart attack asap.

I asbolutely do have some nuance for Russians. I am friends with many of them and realize they are powerless to topple the government because I’m not 14

I see all your posts. And I understand that the government does not speak for yourself. I have compassion for your situation, of course. But, truly, your “I am sorry” really is useless. Please don’t go thinking that your “I am sorry” message is enough. That you are doing something. That message is akin to doing nothing. Hopefully, you are doing more than that.

And also, dear Americans, whatever it is you are doing, you could be doing more.

I mean there are people that would blame me for the CCP’s actions just because I was born there… so… like…

lol

Now I guess I get double the blame for my family leaving China and now we have US Citizenship and voted blue every time 🙃, even tho like its really cis-het christian rich white men that controls all the media, and with that control, they have a huge sway over any “elections”, not to mention, political parties have control of how the presidential primaries are run…

But sure, blame the civillians instead of those in power…

I mean, I get it… it’s frustrating times and emotions are intense, but like… really? Lol

As an Spanish citizen I understand the reaction. We had the same problem with Aznar. More than half of the people hated him (some of us still do 10 years later, me included) but he threw us into the GW2 that, as “a present” gave us the biggest terrorist attack in Spain.

It is funny people in the US and outside of the US believe that it is a democracy and that the people have say in the government

Thinkers who are unafraid to say the unorthodox like Slavoj Zizek are correct. People wanted drastic change away from neoliberal politics, and they got exactly what they wanted, but they don’t like the results. Although to be fair, the Democrats has been blocking progressives from being a viable and effective alternative against fascists. The Democratic party would rather lose democracy than lose their economic privileges. I don’t really look up to Noam Chomsky anymore but he said along the lines that the American institution was explicitly founded to protect the capital and keep the ordinary people as far away as possible from actual decision making. I didn’t consider that position until we got to where we are now. Both parties’ first and foremost priority is to protect the wealthy and powerful. Yes, I know the Democrats are still the lesser evil, but they act as good cop pig while the Republicans act as bad cop pig. And we all know what we say about cops, they are there to protect the capital first, not the people, no matter if they are good or bad.

At this point i feel like my most efficient praxis would just be a guide on what to do if you think this shit is fucked

Okay I guess I’m not sorry.
