Ewww. Dude, your American Victim Card isn't accepted in Canada anymore. Sorry. Nearly everywhere outside the USA stopped accepting it. It's still used widely in the U.S. I understand you all have one, and present it to each other regularly when the topic of 'doing something' comes up. What a testament to your 'Land of the Free' and 'Home of the Brave'.

If you think my posts are insulting hold-on-to-your-RED-hat. I'm just a private citizen with no political power afterall, so you are not going to believe what your elected Leader has been saying about my country! And yet, I haven't seen any victims up here in Canada. Crazy huh? I suspect it has something to do with our "character". It's a word your great grandparents knew a lot about.

It's also affirming to be called 'shitty' by the people who brought the world Donald. Please, continue... or go do something more useful to help out those working against Donald. ... Hahahaha ... nah, why bother, amirite? Predictable. Better to put your energy here, defending yourself against me, someone who could-not-matter less.

Your turn snowflake.

I think you may be confused. Americans tell the international community who represents them as a whole, as most countries do. In this case America picked Trump. They picked him using the method they created. They enforce their pick with the institutions they created. How self-absorbed and entitled do you need to be to call someone bigoted because they don't have the time / inclanation / patience / stomach to then make their own arbitrary decision on each individual in your shithole country?

Maybe, if Americans weren't such feckless, lazy, cowards you wouldn't be in this situation. But no, the American way is to blameshift, like their Leader does. Like you do here: unless their is 100% internal consensus in your electoral process you expect the rest of us to distinguish between each of you. And those who don't are bigots. Not your fault, is it... we are just bigots to you.

Do they still teach critical thinking in America, or is it just Pledges of Allegiance to Dear Leader now?

Maybe stop posting and go do something about it? One has to have their fat American neck buried pretty deep to not know how to help nowadays. Find people in your area already doing something and go ask them what needs doing. Or, as I expect, post about how it's not your fault and how you can't do anything. In 5... 4... 3...

"Home of the brave." Ha ha fucking ha.

As we all know, a person defines themselves through their actions. So does a country.

Imho, saying Trump(ism) isn't America is like people who do evil, but still think they are good people. Admitting you have a problem is the first step in getting better. You need to hate what America has become. Shifting the blame to the current administration just lets people feel good about themselves. They shouldn't. There is work to do.

The second step is meeting up with others in your community already working to fix it.

Damn.

She should leave Gilead and join us up here in Canada. Staple the news article to her immigration paperwork. It's a badge of honour. How can you all have pride in a country that does this shit? Stay safe down there!

Spoken like a true American.

It sounds like you've completely exhausted all options. Anyone can see you have taken your civic duty to defend American FREEDOM seriously. No one has done any more than you have. History will record your deeds and future generations will say, "He voted, protested, and talked to his family. We owe him the FREEDOM we have today." Statues will be erected. Schools will be renamed. You are remarkable. I'm honoured to be in the presence of such a great person.

Although...

Reading these "History Books" it seems that some of your ancestors did find a few more things they could do. I understand if you haven't read "History Books" as they've probably been burned in your country. Sad.

... post historys are public, I think. You can read all the constructive stuff I've written. Nice to know I have a follower! :)

Now say please... good girl. Now thank Daddy... that's right.

Unfortunately Americans are convinced they can't do anything about it, so they don't.

I'm confused. Are we still talking about the USA threatening Canada, Panama, and Greenland? And your response is "other countries might do that someday"?

Ah yes, American Freedom, amiright? Freedom that exists as long as they don't have to excercise it. Or excercise anything, really.

Do American schools still have History classes? Or is it all just Pledges of Allegiance to their Dear Leader now? If they did then you would know of "The Boston Tea Party". It was what your ancestors did when the government of their time kept taxing them without giving them a fair, democratic vote. See also: "Electoral College".

I have an idea, why not stop arguing with an internet stranger and go get involved in your political process? Think of it like "compound interest" - the sooner you get involved the bigger your impact! Alternatively, keep telling me how you are impotent to do anything while celebrating your July 4th freedom celebrations unironically.

I haven't made any moral claim. I haven't said anything about right or wrong. Is this a case of you getting your platitudes mixed up? So many for Americans to choose from, hard to keep them straight I imagine. Words are hard.

The original post was some FREEDOM loving American asking where their saviour was. I responded by saying (essentially) look in a mirror. The Americans then all jumped on me to assuage the guilt they feel because my point is an obvious one. Then they all did that thing where they point to someone else to blame rather than doing the relatively simple step of getting involved themselves.

So,it's billionaires now is it? Wow. The level of delusion is remarkable. for liberals it's billionaires, foreign governments, and rogue news stations. For conservatives it's immigrants, liberals, and the Clintons. Its remarkable to see the manufacturing of consent demonstrated so clearly. See Noam Chomosky's book of that title for context - though I don;t expect anyone reading this will. low effort posts are easier.

Ahhh, yes. An honest mistake to make I suppose. Keep in mind, as this is print media tone is often lost. To help you out: I've been told I have the patience and persistence of a Norm MacDonald, the charming sarcastic undercut of a Seth Rogen, and the positive, contagious smile and beauty of a Rachel McAdams. I blushed at the comparisons, honestly. Surprisingly they are all Canadian as well.

Otherwise by mindful that someone can be both a douchebag, while also being right. I'd draw a Venn diagram for you, but as I expect you were "educated" in America I think it would just add to the confusion.

Clueless? Arevyou denying that the American president is threatening Canada? And let's be honest, it's more likely he is a Russian agent than I am.

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

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?

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

This is a really flimsy talking point I'm so sick of.

We refer to you as Americans because that's what you told us to call you. We are judging the actions and system of government you set up, and are paying for.. Are you somehow now suggesting that unless there is 100% internal consensus you are unresponsible for the actions of the government your money pays? Your internal politics are your god-damn problem. I could not care about how you internally identify.

Reality check: The man you all tolds us is in charge of your country now is threatening me and my family now on the international stage.

So own it. You are literally paying your money to keep it going. It is yours. You built it, you are funding it.. For decades we've listened to you go on and on (and fucking on) about your freedoms. Good. Now is the time to prove you are both brave and free. Stop posting on Lemmy and go get in contact with people doing the actual, real work of defending your country. Stop coming here and defending yourself from me ffs. I'm just your pissed off neighbour. It doesn't matter what I think. Go do something useful ffs.

As it stands, it seems that Trump represents you feckless cowards perfectly.

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!

a) "Not my fault" should be tattooed on the forehead of every American at birth. In this they're current president represents them perfectly.

b) Lazy, true. I didn't put in foot notes or provide links. However, a clearer example of laziness would be responding to an internet post to complain about how offended I feel instead of starting up a browser and find out what who locally is already doing something, and what still needs doing.

c) If my little post offended you then you are not going to believe what the leader of your country has been saying about my country! He is threatening our soverignty even! So you will excuse me if my response to your offense is this: ..|..

Sorry.
