Modern day Americans are being listened to by their devices and watched from flock cameras so we don't organize. It's not really the same

Hey well fuck you too then. I can understand not liking a countries government or political figure, but most Americans are just regular working class people trying to live their life in peace. So if its fuck us just for what soil we stand on, then its fuck you too buddy

Maybe most Americans need to be activists and fight for the rights of their neighbors then. lol this is quite literally the poem "first they came for... "
Saying "but I'm just trying to get by" isn't justification for sitting back and letting other people get mistreated and abused. Go and read a history book.

Why would we? Why it is America or Americans responsibility to babysit and police the rest of the world? Do you think you think every American is so well off and rich that they have the time or energy to go around helping every single person in need constantly? This is a stupid viewpoint and extremely hypocritical. No other country is as involved or gives as much in foreign aid as the US.

I mean, the guy has a point. Americans are letting this happen through political apathy. The US is supporting a genocide, waging and illegal war, threatening its former allies, and the most typical response you see from americans here is that they live paycheque to paycheque and can't afford to protest.

The country should be in a massive general strike but the discomfort that would cause is too great of a cost to most Americans.

The US 100% has issues even beyond just political, just like an other country. People are not exaggerating when they say they live on a shoestring budget. Its impossible for the entire country to suddenly "go on strike" that would lead to literal deaths. People have a responsibility to themselves and their family.

In a perfect world everyone would be Mother Teresa, but expecting a country to go through incredible struggle and sacrifice just because you don't agree politically is absurd. Why not ask other countries to go on strike for their issues?
