    It’s funny to think that any of these comments are relevant. Are you new to the internet maybe?. The best I can do is hope to influence. The best an American can do is contact people already working to correct this and ask them what needs doing. This leads me to wonder how all the Americans are posting in this thread, being that they are all so exhausted. Why not go to sleep? Then wake up later and get in touch and involved.

    It’s almost like Americans are here trying to convince themselves there is nothing they can do.

    How brave of you. What a testament to your freedoms. What a fine demonstration of what it truly means to be American: A blame shifting, feckless inheritor of a once great country. All hype. No substance, apart from the folds of blubber around their mid sections. What a legacy. All your talk of freedom backed by nothing. FREEDOM!

      Because that would require more effort than posting a comment online.

      Because freedom is propaganda unless you fit certain demographics. Otherwise, everyday you’re just surviving.

      White dudes can walk around heavily armed, try that as a black dude and see how free you are. We can’t even go for a run in a lot of places without the cops or neighborhood watch showing up.

      So shut the fuck up and stop blaming people caught in this bullshit and do something to help.

        No thanks. I’m done sugar-coating it for Americans. They are all too good at doing that for themselves.

      What are YOU doing that’s useful? Besides blustering on the internet that is.

          But I’m open to suggestions. Are their “missions” to save Amer8cans from themselves? Maybe some sad commercials showing masses of dumbfuck Americans all pointing blamesticks at each other like a spiderman meme, asking for donations?

        Calling for action. Could also be directed to Europeans btw, with obesity and fascism also growing hand in hand there.

          When European leaders start threatening my country I will do that. Until then this sounds like fictional whataboutism.

            I meant that Europe is moving in the same direction as the US is, with fascism on the rise again. European leaders are now merely reacting to what the US leaders are doing in terms of tariffs, which will increase costs and inflation for both the internal markets.

            When you see your country as more important than (people in) other countries in the rest of the world, that’s just short-sighted and unjustified.
