That post is 1000% unfair. I worked my ass off to stop this despite being disabled. I'm basically trapped in this country, being gaslit by my own government and suddenly its my fault? Fuck you, random Greenlander.

We should always help "the resistance," but yes, there's a lot of truth in your tweet.

Actually, for those who come across this who aren't interested in feigning helplessness. Contact your reps at every level, boycott companies on the right, protest, educate others/advocate, donate to Mutual Aid and organizations like the aclu, & get organized with your friends neighbors and coworkers

I guess America isn't a democracy if it lacks the mechanism to stop this nonsense

americans are full of excuses.

Brazil? Far, FAR smaller??

Brazil has 200 Mio ppl. US is like 350?

This message says : "stop being sorry, vote them out. Massively. While you still can". That's the "something" you can do. The turnout for the midterms must be huge We all count on you 💪🏻

It's rather "no good telling me you're sorry your husband is threatening my daughter if you refuse to testify against him". Again, from the outside any protests against donnie have zero effect on what USA does and seem to be focused on internal matters.

‘Of course they are frustrated, angry, frightened. We are too!’ Your country is very possibly going to invade theirs, strip them of their culture the way you did places like Hawaii and you’re still centring yourselves. You want them to hold space for your feelings in all this?

"tell us what to do" jesus, you just want everything handed in a tray, no wonder why that country is in that state. There are plenty of examples on protests made in other countries. do some fking research on how to fix the mess of a country that you have (which is leaking to other nearby countries).

“What do you want us to do about it?” It’s your country???? Figure it out!!

When you have 300 million weapons in circulation, your main option is relatively obvious.

so, your country threatens one of its allies, you say "my bad, not me" and your responsibility is over. and if they reject your thoughts and prayers THEY need to come up with a solution? saying you're sorry someone's husband died when your city voted for the husband killer mayor means nothing

They’re preaching not only in the wrong way, but to the wrong choir.

ok for the 50th time do something means , walk out of work , stop paying taxes and bills , draw your money out of the bank , buy only essential foods , take to the streets and stay there < shut the fuck up with your excuses >

The Europeans will know soon enough how helpless ordinary US citizens are in the face of Trump tyranny and will probably not have an opportunity to apologize for their cruel dismissal because Putin, nukes, and a toothless eunuch called nato.

Also... it's a little presumptuous for them to say we don't see a difference between those protesting Putin and his war and Putin's regime. I, for one, am grateful for them all. I'd hate to lose'm.

You know what you need to do. What would Luigi do? What would Tyler do?

if you are opposed to the descent into fascism happening in your country, you need to decide how much that means to you if it’s not worth fighting for, just admit it - say “fascism isn’t my first choice but it isn’t worth making my boss mad”

here’s how: 1. write every elected official in your district 2. general strike: everyone downs tools and takes to the streets EVERYWHERE 3. repeat 2 one day per week for 2 months 4. repeat 2 every day for as long as it takes 5. remember who did not show up

We ARE doing something. Many things. The regime doesn’t care. There is no rule of law anymore.

Of course there is something to do. Massive, unlimited strike. Soldiers drops their weapons. Marches over every Republican institutions. Administrations refusing to work. Those things should have happen long ago.

We are doing nothing so long as what we’re doing doesn’t eliminate the enemy within. There’s no credit given for fruitless efforts, we’re not children.

What are YOU doing? I'd be happy to follow your lead if you have one.

A planet is its inhabitants. The action of a planet are performed by its inhabitants, in their name, with their money. You can claim that you do not have any more responsibility or duty regarding earth's action than a stranger has to the death of a father, but that is not true.

And an underrated component that's also more specific to the US: AIDS and how it was queer & farther-left populations who were decimated by it. A whole generation of elders was lost far too early, and it took decades for the US's grassroots left to learn how to organize well again

You're talking like this is some sort of hazardous events that happened outside of anyone's control. Who could have predicted that weak union and worker rights would prevent effective protest? That unchecked megacorporation would have tremendous political influence?

Do this. Ongoing nationwide peaceful protests in numbers growing to 12 million demanding the Trump regime resigns, until it does.

As someone who would be an ice target for being hispanic, didn’t vote for this, and does protest, I cannot do anything outlandish as it would further enable the right to escalate their terror.

Americans (any country really) always respond so well to outsiders telling them what they should do.

Actually no. “Do something” means sacrifice something. Go on a general strike. Don’t buy consumer goods. Do something that could involve suffering and discomfort for you.

The issue is, as someone who's been involved in grassroots organizing for years, there always HAVE been people calling for a general strike. It's just that they're randos with none of the connections to make it happen, and oftentimes they make people put their names on a signup list

You want suggestions? I think this is what they're talking about. Unlike many countries we have a second amendment that allows us to bear arms against a tyrannical government imposing a coup d'etat violently yet we are too cowardly to do that. That's definitely what it looks like to a lot of people

Regarding how: Solidarize and form groups Bring life to a still-stand Dont obey in advance Speak openly. Like Ruffalo. I am sorry for you that you are forced to be brave. I am sorry for all of us.

We should blame Democrats who agree to fund the government too. @aoc.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @jenpsaki.bsky.social @chrislhayes.bsky.social @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social

So true. If Congress won't act, we have consider going beyond the Constitution to save the Constitution, something I've never contemplated in my life.

O estadunidense lavando as mãos em relação aos atos do seu governo.

With all due respect, many of us are doing both. I’m sorry we’re not doing it quickly enough or visibly enough to make you happy.

Vote. Fight to vote if they try to stop you. Fight for your neighbor if they try to stop them. Vote and don't vote for a single Republican. They are running as Democrats too so be sure you know who you are voting for. A supermajority of Dems might not save us but we know what Rs will do.

we eagerly await President Xi's military intervention.

This world would survive just dandy without the US, actually. The US is a big boy in its own mind, but it's a rampaging infant to the rest of the world. Whether it's a pariah state or simply dissolved entirely, it's only a minor influence on the rest of the planet as long as it's dead.

Fair.

WAY too sophisticated for a typical Amerikan, who is stupid, ignorant, and depraved.

VERY goofy thing to say. I'm not sure I have to even say why, just give it a moment of critical thought from any perspective that isn't your own.

I appreciate it, but some of us are struggling to get medication.. some of us are being kidnapped in the streets.. if "sorry" is all someone can give, perhaps accept it, or help.

Well said!

It’s not necessarily a need for sympathy. We did this to ourselves through years of disaffection, frustration, and complacency; it’s our job to fix it through information, voter engagement, and supporting legislators who are willing to actually do the hard work by putting their constituents first.

I'm an American who is sorry and embarrassed. I knew when we were dumb enough to put Trump back in the White House, we were going to deserve every bad thing that was going to happen to us.

Maybe europe should pick better allies next time

Will the fact that I want to leave my country for a mental escape. While I’m donating money to help fund my beliefs against Trump and his hideous policy’s help?

Thats the only perspective that is important. Seeing amrikis here whining that "i didnt vote for him" or something along those lines is just pointless. When your military ( they will go through with it if asked) starts executing people on that island, that "sorry" will make you feel better?

But the nation state has been disastrous for countless countries. I very sorry what is happening there, with ICE and everything else, and my support is with the people on the streets of the United States who are facing this nightmare.

Diría que caso toda LATAM tiene mucho que decir sobre esto. Y en muchos otros países, de hecho. La actitud de "votaste algo que no me gustó, te organizo un golpe de estado" ha sido generalizada.

That’s not how I view any other country

fucking finally the burgers are getting what they deserve

For decades, all over the world, it's been "citizens are not their government", & that notion is respected in every democracy, & even from every democracy to people under authoritarian rule. I know binary & transactional logic is de rigueur, but it's intellectually lazy & more nuanced than this.

Assist? I'm Canadian.

Also applies to Israel

That would make sense if I didn't have solidarity with Russians that resist their government too

These are on all of our vehicles every day. People sometimes need a nudge.

Uh, ok....

I don't see your country doing anything. Especially in WW2

This is the same sentiment in Canada. And it increases each day U.S. citizens allow the insanity to continue.

I suspect that this rando on Reddit is most likely a russian troll trying to demoralize Americans IMO. I really don't know WTF he's expecting us to do. Best tactic is to just wear down the Machine by the death of a thousand cuts. Sand in their gears until it grinds to a halt. WE ARE TRYING!

Filthy rich, coming from a genocide denier who refuses to abolish ICE and is actively impeding a billionaire tax in his state.

My thoughts exactly. FFS, the EU through people like Orban were as much as responsible for Trump as Putin. What has the EU done about Hungary.

Near as I can tell, what they think is supposed to happen is anti-fascists who are mostly anti-gun and anti-violence suddenly pick up guns and go up against fascists who are extremely pro-gun, pro-violence, have decades of training on us, but the anti-fascists still somehow win. It's YA slop brain.

Super over all the amerikkkans whining in the comments. If you're already doing all you can, then this isn't about you. Fuck off and grow up. If you don't think something applies to you, then don't behave as if it does you toddlers. It's not always 'about you'. 🙄

Europe owns $8 triliion of the US. Just sell see how that goes. www.investing.com/news/economy...

This Sapotis asswipe can go to damn Minnesota and tell everyone there directly to their face that there is no distinction between them and Trump/ICE/Republicans, and that their fighting back against Trump doesn't matter. I'll sell damn tickets and popcorn.

How about every single moron toddler who wants to crap on Democrats and pro-Dem leftists, gets off their lazy worthless moron ass and goes and actually opposes the damn Republicans themselves, then. Go ahead, if you think you can do it better, then go do it already. Otherwise shut your damn mouth.

Greenland, we hate him too. Shop to fund the fight in Florida. #fucktrump #greenland sisterresister.shop/products/gre...

I fucking hate those "dear world" posts

Good man! As a fellow Canadian, I applaud you.

The OP is from Sweden, which has the most racially segregated labor market in Europe. By that logic, should we say every Swedish person as racist? No? Then if they won’t help us, they should stfu and leave us alone as we try to put out our house fire. Not fun being painted by a broad brush, huh?

nicely said! Us citizens: change your f*g admin now!!!

except it absolutely is. this cocksucker is blaming regular people who worked within, and are still working in, the system they were handed, to avoid all this shit and were shouted down. and calling us "complicit". how the fuck is that not about me? i did my fuckin part. what do you want?

See, if you were *actually* knowledgeable about this stuff instead of just wanting to be mad, you'd know that we are doing *exactly that*. Settling land claims and reparations is an ongoing process and can't be done overnight. How's the US doing on that front? Or reparations to former slaves?

Ok, officer.

Yeah, I've pissed a lot of the "don't blame me I didn't vote for him" people with "if you weren't giving full throated support for Clinton and Harris, yeah, you're part of the problem." My circle was smart enough to know better but oh, I'm an alarmist.

But we can’t change anything…. You can, though. We welcome foreign interference in our affairs. Please help.

They should have as much sympathy for us as we did for the people in Kursk

What exactly do they think we can do?. Why don’t the leaders of the world stand up to him and push back? They’re the ones who can do something. They have the power. They’re too weak willed. There’s nothing I can do but support anti-Trump candidates and vote.

To be fair, they should hold their own leaders just as accountable. The world leaders played a part in this too. Many of them capitulate to trump's whims even to this day. Many of them simply didn't say no. The citizens sat with mouth agape the leaders did what they always do: circle jerk each other

always has been lol trump is just a return to form. the veneer of respectability was always a crock of shit

Oh we’ve been watching seppos with mouths agape for much longer than that believe you me.

Make sure to vote in every election!

Remember, Hitler was only 80 years ago. Not long.

I am one man. A country is nothing but dirt and I have no allegiance to no one. I did not vote for the dictator. If America burns for it so be it. I'm no apologizing. I don't owe shit for this madness.

Weak. lol
