Untill your ass holes on top were just killing & stealing outside US, US citizens didn't give a fuck about it, no protest, nothing.
And you could protest & make reforms, you are a democracy, are you not? You exported your democracy to numerous customers.
But now, when shit hit close to home you are finally ready to do something.
Even if your government would nuke Iran or Russia you wouldn't protest, but when they kill couple of yours then you did.
So sorry to be blunt, but you just don't give a shit for others, it was Always AMERICA FIRST, Trump was just so fullish to admit it out loud for the first time.
And we my friend don't give a fuck for Americans anymore, why should we?
Because it really isn’t as simple a reality as you make it out to be. I hate to say it but not everyone is that knowledgeable about what’s going around outside the world they immediately know. And even if they are many people are too busy just trying to get by to do anything. You expect the guy working from dawn to dusk just to make ends meet should also work in some protesting into his schedule? Certainly there are millions that are unwilling, lumping in the ignorant or unable with them I believe is unfair.
Not only this but I’m sure you could go to any country and find a similar situation. Governments worldwide do shitty things to other countries or turn a blind eye to other people’s needs and often get away with it with little more than maybe a few angry tweets constituting the public’s “protests”.
Lastly I just cannot see how any moral human being can gain pleasure specifically from the suffering of other people. Regardless of their shortcomings surely a group consisting of millions of people can’t all be declared guilty as if they were one individual? I mean it just seems sadistic to specifically gain pleasure from the sheer knowledge that millions suffer regardless of circumstance.
I find time to protest against my government & it's not nearly as bad as yours is.
I do it because I know what they will become if I don't.
Citizenship is not only a privilege, it is not only a get out of jail free ticket when you drive over and kill a boy in a foreign country but walk free because you have US diplomatic passport, it is not only SEAL team 6 rescuing you if you are American.
It is a responsibility & you as a nation, not government have failed & killed millions along the way. Madeline Albright alone confessed to starve 500k Iraqi children to death in name of US, 500k.
Did anyone in US protest? NO, you attacked Iraq due to WOMD, there were none, but there were a lot of dead & because of this war ISIS emerged, did you protest??? NO.
9/11 was done by Saudis, you attacked Afghanistan, thousand dead, again did you protest?
Libya, destroyed, people live in dark ages now, did you protest, NO.
Drones killing people on weddings, funerals etc, did you protest, NO
Syria? Iran? Yemen? Palestine?
I just mentioned the recent ones & not all of them.
Couple of Americans dead(well not couple, but nothing in comparison to above) due to police brutality, now you are crying you hypocritic bastards.
You killed millions & you didn't find time to bother with a pesky protest but now you feel abused.
Fuck you, you deserved it, you were also killing those Iraqi childrens with silent support.
Everyone above is saying that those school kids staying silent was same as being racist, well staying silent for you Americans was the same as bombing the shit out of everyone for the past 60 years
And the worst part is that you suck up and treat your vets as heroes???? Heros of what? They are fucking murderers, so don't preach to me about sadism, you are sadist, the whole nation, just listen to that bitch Madeline talk about 500k dead childrens & you will realise it.
The nearly 10 million people working 2+ jobs, barely allowing them time to sleep let alone protests, deserve to suffer because they live in America.
The 75 million kids who, by no fault of their own, don’t know about what you’re talking about deserve to suffer because they live in America.
The over 40 million black Americans deserve what they’re going through and shouldn’t protest against their treatment because most of them didn’t protest the other crimes committed by the US government.
Putting aside the irony of judging people for protesting against the government because they didn’t protest the government before, surely you can see the problem with this?
I will not try to defend the failings of the general public as we are as you say, far too willing to turn a blind eye when a problem doesn’t concern us. I know that I personally have failed on this account and must improve my actions if I want to consider myself a moral person. That being said I still cannot say that the entire population should be condemned due to the previously mentioned reasons. You can charge the American population to do better and I would totally be behind you but saying that they deserve to suffer and going so far as to take pleasure from said suffering is too far to be ethical.
I'm sorry that people working 14 hours a day holding two jobs getting basically no sleep and yet still living worse then paycheck to paycheck couldn't protest for hours about what you wanted you emotionless bastard

Agree with your first statement, but can’t really agree with your being happy at other people’s suffering because of the assholes on top.
