    So if you don’t want it, why aren’t you stopping it or trying to overthrow the government? Your biggest protest was 2% or so of the population.

    ~98% don’t give a shit, they might care about their petrol prices but that’s it. Dead Iranian children and US foreign policy isn’t a deal breaker for them.

          france is a fraction of the size and population of america. if we were that small and homogeneous, we would probably be able to be more effective too. the best equivalent would be expecting the entire EU to organize and protest as one large country.

        No, it’s your fucking responsibility to fix your nation and you pathetic fucks only give a shit about voting every few years despite the fact that its never once fixed you being the most reprehensible evil nation on the planet.

        Go fucking vote harder, maybe you can get another dronebama to bring about fake change as he bombs middle eastern kids.

                    Citizens have 100% responsibility for their government. All over the world people have rioted and revolted to bring down their governments at risk to their own lives, so can Americans.

                    Literally no one else in the world is coming to fix your mess for you. And until you do, you are complicit in what you allow to happen. But nothing will happen because you have your bread and your circuses and you don’t care enough to risk that.

                    What makes it even worse is that MAGA has rushed your capitol to attempt revolution, MAGA has tried to kill Trump. And the better people have done nothing but wear frog costumes and hold up signs. It’s disgusting and I cannot respect it one bit.
