We just had the largest set protests in history. The Republicans have followed the Putin playbook and have undermined every check and balance in our set of laws to prevent this. Most people are literally a week of being unemployed from being homeless. The shit you are seeing on the news are what the 6 billionaires that own our entire media want you to see.
On top of that the heavily armed “Americans”. You love to shove in our faces as a stereotype have been entirely propagandized into supporting the very people oppressing them.
Bad news is the same framework that fucked us is almost guaranteed to be actively working to do the same in whatever country you live in. So use us as an example and prevent this shit from happening to you early before it’s too fucking late

The people that fucked us have already fucked a bunch of other nations. The rise of right wing authoritarianism in Europe over the last few decades was aided by political operatives like Paul Manafort, who then directed that experience towards domestic politics.
And then there are the missionaries and evangelicals whose indoctrination programs pushed bigotry and intolerance in various African nations, leading to some of the harshest laws criminalizing LGTBQ in the world.
For a culture that’s constantly complaining about “globalism”, they sure spend a lot of time and money spreading their influence overseas.

Thanks for clarifying, It was a little vague. The subject of the post is the Vatican/Papacy and this isn’t a USA-specific instance (Lemmy.world was spun up by someone from the Netherlands) or a USA-specific community.
In what world do you think the general American public is in support of assassinating/couping the fucking Pope?
The fucking pudding brain in chief has surged 100s/1000s of the most villainous people in the country into positions of power faster that can even be coped with, and are doing everything in their power to end every semblance of decency, sensibility, and justice from our government. I was already mystified that Trump could possibly win again and terrified by what he would do with a second go at it. But even his first term didn’t prepare anyone for this shit. The evil bastard has accelerated the destruction of this country far faster than I could have even thought possible, and attempting to spread this destruction across the entire world. We’re drowning over here.
But glad you get to sit elsewhere and be a judgy bitch about my apparent complicity in this bullshit for not, I guess, protesting hard enough or getting myself killed?
The last Republican pol that decided to hold a Town Hall basically all their attendees were chanting “Fuck You” together at them. (I enjoy using “they/them” for MAGA Republicans)
Are y’all completely insane or just insanely complicit?

That was my point, we were the test run for the tech-bro oligarchy
I wasn’t disagreeing, just expanding on your point. :)
Be the change you want to see in the world
Ah, yes, I love engaging in suicide missions that are unlikely to actually result in real change.
This mentality is why there are more armed fascists than leftists, comrade
So you’re volunteering?
Range time starts at 6AM on the weekends.
Who are you asking?
Americans. Who did you think I was asking? The inhabitants of Cape Verde?

And here in lies one of the many problems with American exceptionalism. “It’s always from our perspective.”
As an American abroad, I have to say I really dislike the ignorance from where I was born.
In that, I congratulated you on your very Dutch directness in querying.
What country could you possibly be part of to have such self righteous rhetoric lol I’m genuinely curious
