  • As I said, I’m not a fan of generalizations because they have little to do with reality. The US has a political system that doesn’t even take the population of states into account. If that were the case, Harris would have won back then with almost two million more votes.

    What US citizens can certainly be criticized for, however, is their passivity. Yes, there are protests in the US, some of which are among the largest this country has ever seen, but given how utterly corrupt the political system is, I cannot understand why there has still been no general strike that could very well paralyze the country until the reforms that have been necessary for decades are implemented, the failure to implement which has led the US to the brink of dictatorship in the first place - and the absence of which has ensured that the country has been an oligarchy for several decades.

    I understand your anger and I share it to a certain extent, but I can only warn against falling into nationalistic thinking, because that is precisely the kind of thinking that leads to war and misery instead of exchange and understanding.



  • I’m not lumping you all together. I’m just disappointed to constantly read comments even in the fediverse that, out of some kind of defensive reflex or whatever, defend the actions of the criminal US regime.

    I am well aware of the situation of US citizens and I am the last person who would invoke prejudices based on nationality. However, your comment insinuates that I do, even if you may not be aware of it - and that is precisely what I mean: it makes no sense to play the victim card when your own country is committing unspeakable crimes.

    To illustrate this, here’s another example: I’m from Europe and I despise the Putin regime for its criminal war of aggression against Ukraine. And yet I am very well aware that there are, of course, still many decent people in Russia - but they are oppressed by autocratic terror.

    This is exactly what I mean when it comes to the US: if you continue to do nothing, your 1% will do the same as in Russia - very soon. And you are right: The repressive measures, that you describe, are now becoming more and more apparent in your country as well, but that is still miles away from what happens in a full-blown dictatorship - where opponents of the regime simply disappear; and, as it stands, it is obvious that the US is well on its way there.

    So again, I simply cannot understand this country-centric thinking. It should be quite simple: people who despise autocracy and fascism from the bottom of their hearts should join forces instead of insisting on the very differences that fascists have always used to popularize their inhuman ideology: and that is, above all, blind nationalism.

    This may sound heartless, but it is reality: if US citizens do not rise up against their oppressors, against the Maga-regime and the billionaires who make it possible, things will only get worse for them. You still have the chance to resolve this without bloodshed and mass suffering, but no one will be able to support you, because the US is untouchable when it comes to economic sanctions or even military action.

    Therefore, you are on your own. However, you should also be aware that Trump is not only destroying the livelihoods of US citizens, but his irresponsible actions are also putting the entire world at risk. That is why I am pissed - and I am certainly not the only one.


  • That is exactly what genocidal war criminals do. And no one can stop them because they are protected by the US. The only thing that is new is that fascism no longer even bothers to hide its ugly face behind a mask.

    However, I find it quite telling how even US citizens, who are fully aware of what a monster their president is, still look for excuses so they don’t have to admit that they are now exactly the kind of utterly unscrupulous rogue state that has always been demonized and portrayed in the media as the enemy of the American people.

    A good example of this is the bombing of the girls’ school a few days ago. For some reason, “patriotism” (or whatever) creeps back in and US citizens once again believe their regime, even though they should have known long ago that everything coming out of the White House these days is a blatant lie.

    I can’t for the life of me remember the last time I read any statement from the US regime that contained even a shred of truth - and what’s more, it is by no means the only school or hospital that this coalition of mass murderers is deliberately targeting in order to spread terror.

    For this reason alone, I simply cannot understand how anyone can still be carried away by this misguided “love of country” bullshit. The only patriotic thing to do would be to finally organize a general strike that lasts until the criminal US-regime, together with all its monstrous enablers, is in prison.


  • Indeed, even in the West. When you consider that the US regime is even waging a war that violates international law in order to distract attention from the Epstein Files, the situation looks bleak, especially for underage girls - and, of course, for all the innocent children who fall victim to the bombs.










  • All too typical: slave labor! Not much has really changed in the land of the free (white men).

    Edit: It seems that many US citizens are unaware of this, but this is nothing new in the States: the majority of prisons in the US are run as private enterprises (and yes, they do put people to work for almost nothing and not just since Trump), which for obvious reasons is not the case in any other democratic country - at least not to this extent and with this level of absurdity. It goes without saying that the insanely inflated ICE budget, which under Trump exceeds that of all other agencies, such as the FBI and CIA, many times over, essentially benefits MAGA collaborators such as the Geo Group, one of the largest private prison corporations. But hey, that’s just an added bonus that the orange pedo is giving his co-conspirators at the expense of US citizens, because the real goal is obviously to build a secret police force that is loyal only to him - and, as I said, it has a budget that dwarfs all other agencies, even combined.
