And the rest of the world is signing on for it. We’ve had enough of “Muricans” giving orders. Let’s all take these arrogant bastards down

    I have no problem with taking the arrogant bastards down, but that’s not all the people in the US.

    What I really want to see is A Bug’s Life come to life, with the American people finally rising up and burying their oligarch overlords.

    I’d be willing to assist them in that just like France did last time.

      Thank you, kind sibling. This rift is the most frustrating diplomatic choice I’ve ever seen America make. I hope we can make it right and grow closer someday.

        Make no mistake: there are still others in this world who care about you, as a people. Your leaders are not on that list: they do not care about you. That much has been made evident for a long time. Even more importantly, the billionaires who call the tune your leaders dance to definitely do not care about you. Change cannot be exerted externally: it must come from within.

      I’d love to see it happen, I will support it in any way I can.

      Until such time as it does happen, as long as they continue milling about uselessly expecting maga to start following the laws any minute now and doing nothing else significant to obstruct it… Fuck em, they’re paying the taxes and powering the machine that is trying to destroy us.

        That’s an interesting one… I wonder how many people are seeing the chaos at social services and the IRS this year and just deciding not to pay taxes?

        Voting is only ONE of the ways to affect government.

          You bring up a good point, but I’m not sure enough Americans are ready or aware, or desperate enough, yet, that civil disobedience is a thing. I hope they progress to using it very soon.

          Bananas in ICE vehicle tailpipes. Not paying taxes. Jamming ICE ‘snitch’ phone numbers with spurious reports … that sort of thing.

        Absolutely. I’m sick of pretending that American liberals aren’t compliant in this shit.

      We’re ruining this place so fast that a lot of Americans are about to join me in learning how to protest.
