At least you’re not using chatgpt to figure out the best way to talk to people, like my brother in finance tech does now.

So then military members “swearing an oath to their constitution” are all full of shit as well? Cuz I dont see any upholding that oath.

The fact that this is still contentious for Americans goes to show how far gone they are. Liberal democrats just can’t seem to fathom the basic reality of what you’re saying, they’re so focused on aesthetics and “we need a mixed race woman president” over “we need to fix wealth inequality.” It’s about as brain dead as MAGA but with virtue signalling, “Yeah I support Israel, no it’s not a genocide, rich people earned that money fair and square, and have no influence on our democracy” meanwhile they put on a rainbow flag badge on Pride month and say “I’m a progressive, and I support protesters (so long as they’re not disruptive.)”

Pretty sure your 4 downvotes are from Biden, Kamala, Hillary, and Obama’s lemmy accounts.

Uhh, Kamala didn’t run on a platform of taxing the wealthy either, that would break the contract she has with her corporate sponsors.

There’s plenty of Kamala supporters that don’t see her as just a Hillary 2.0, democrats and MAGA both agree not to go after the rich people robbing them blind.

Dude Americans can’t even be fucked to do anything when their kids are smashed to pieces by bullets in their own schools, except of course a “thoughts and prayers” on a social media is about the most of it, the rest go “Oh that’s terrible” and go back to eating their dinners.

Let’s say I am a worthless keyboard warrior living in America and not going out to protest as if my future depended on it, what difference would that make? Still an accurate description of Americans, if you’re an American on lemmy complaining about people showing a mirror to you then do something about it.

I know, which is why Americans are fucked. They don’t even have a shared history, let alone reality or morals. I mean, most Americans don’t know about how the police dropped bombs on Philadelphia in 1985, let alone even protest or start a riot over it. 341 million Americans agreed not to riot over that one.

I also struggle to see how “Africans are to blame for global warming” the same way Americans are to blame for their own countrymen’s actions.

EDIT - Just to add, I find it intriguing that you’re so quick to blame Africans for the sake of a strawman argument. Not a good look, kinda looks American.

“I’ll stand peacefully on a sidewalk holding up a sign to defend democracy, so long as no harm comes to me.” - Americans

It could stop tomorrow if Americans had the courage.

Then Trump will be legally allowed to invade the hague.

“The United States is not a member of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The American Service-Members’ Protection Act authorizes the President of the United States to use “all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court”. This authorization led to the act being nicknamed “The Hague Invasion Act”,[4] since the act would allow the president to order military action in The Hague, the seat of the ICC, to prevent American or allied officials and military personnel from being prosecuted or detained by the ICC.[5]”

EDIT - While I realize this doesn’t apply to sanctions, it still sets a scary precedent for checking USA’s actions.

Obligatory

MTV becoming a viral “reality” TV show hosting things like “The Real World” I think brought awful qualities to the mainstream, then social media gave everyone the opportunity to be THAT viral reality tv star. It may have started with Jerry, but MTV spread it to the masses. At the end of the day it was all driven by the pursuit of profits. All roads lead to capitalism, after all.

They always do before they’re carved up like gammon.

Somebody get me a drink.

Projection, much?

Nope. Guess you’ll have to keep going out till it is! If you wont, who will?

So go out and protest!

Incorrect, you need good soil to grow food to eat. Do you think that food comes from the supermarket? Am I interacting with a toddler?
