You’re one hundred percent free to take that position, but it’s not arrogance when half this thread is Europeans looking down their nose as if they have any fucking clue what’s happening in the USA today. Spare me the lectures if it’s an internal problem.
I don’t want to read a single comment panicking over a Trump tweet or letter. I don’t want any more debates with EU commenters pretending they know the US constitution, laws, election process, or insitutional corruption better than I do. I don’t want to hear from anyone who’s reading headlines from halfway around the world and dismissing my experiences (“just do something”). I don’t wanna hear shit from any armchair revolutionaries living in countries where the police can’t even carry pepper spray.
If you all can’t agree to do that then see my original comment: fuck off and take your own political initiative. Maybe you’ll start to understand why this isn’t some inconvenient internal problem when the largest military in the world is blockading your ports and kidnapping your leaders. “Good fucking luck”
Maybe “FuckTheUSA” should be something besides hand-wringing and lectures. Clearly you’re not committed to the cause if you’re complaining about me pointing out tangible, real world actions they can take to “fuck the USA”
I’m not the one who’s commenting “[Americans/Europeans/Canadians] are all cowards” like some people in this thread. I am not denying that there are people who are pushing for real political action in other countries.
What I am doing is calling out specific users painting 340 million people with a broad brush while remaining completely silent on their own country. Somehow they’re allowed to give unchecked criticism on “internal USA problems” while not even touching the subject of what they can personally ask their country to do to “FuckTheUSA”.
Somehow taking the basic precaution of not associating my real world resistance with what I post on this platform automatically makes me a complacent sheep. What the hell is stopping anyone outside the USA from telling us what they’re doing about the march of fascism led by the US federal government? If it’s not pressing enough to take your own political initiative then why are you commenting?
The only answer I’ve gotten is “my life is hard and it’s Your Problem to solve”. Fair enough, then refrain from making comments in the same way I don’t make comments on the state of EU politics.

Do you not see it?

You mean like
touching the subject of what they can personally ask their country to do to “FuckTheUSA”.
You’re literally ranting at people complaining that they are doing the thing that you then proceeded to do yourself. It’s okay when you do or don’t do something, but that doesn’t extend to anyone beyond yourself.
Your reading comprehension is really lacking. These are replies pointing out the hypocrisy of the people in this thread. Look at the original post ffs, painting 340 million people as illiterate and then getting defensive when I ask wtf they’re doing that gives them the right to say that. If you can’t understand the difference between those comments or the context of this post that’s on you.
“oh but it’s FuckTheUSA, we’re allowed to say stupid tribal shit”
Like fuck you are, tell me what gives you the right? It’s the paradox of tolerance on full display.
Right, you got all defensive when they asked what Americans are doing, then complain that they got all defensive when you asked what they are doing. It’s the exact same thing but for some reason it’s okay when you do and unacceptable if someone else does it.
Yeah if someone walks up and says you’re a piece of shit and everyone you know is an illiterate coward you’re allowed to be defensive and ask who tf they think they are. That’s how the world works. It’s not “exactly the same thing” at all

Maybe you shouldn’t come into a community called FuckTheUSA then…
