I can’t see the US flag anymore, without my mind adding piss and shit stains on it.
If your system can only be healed from the outside, than you never had a system.
If you can’t solve all of your problems alone, then you don’t deserve to live.
fuck that individualist approach. we need communities for a reason.
Very impresive strawmen, dude. You are arguing against something that was said only in your head.
Where was the “deserve” in what I said? I agree with the post. Very much agree that US should be sanctioned to accelerate the changes.
What I’m pointing out is that is the clear sign that US trouble is deeper than trump alone. The hope that a broken system will be healed with the change of people in charge of broken administration is like hoping that a loveless marriage can be healed by making a baby.
Full embargo: no trading of goods and services whatsoever.
Boycott any international events in the US.
Ignore any US patents, royalties, copyright and similar devices.
Invite usonians abroad that only have an US passport to kindly leave.
Seize all murican assets abroad, like company headquarters, factories, etc.
No travel.
No trading in USD.The small caveat being that some areas are overly dependent on US (like the EU on AWS and Visa/Mastercard), so step 0 would be (re)building local infrastructure.
Edit suggested action to muricans: follow the Luigi way.
Just stop recognising US copyrights and make the euro the default currency for international trade should do it nicely.
The US isn’t the way it is because of Trump, but Trump is the way he is because of the US.
“Help”
Nah man, they did that to themselves and now the rest of the world have to face the consequences. Im sorry for them but i have 0 sympathy anymore, they are not the ones who are going die in a cold trench in the middle of the artic or gods know where because they elected a psycho compromised by Russia. Stop crying and do something about it.
God, you make it sound so easy. I feel so stupid. Why didn’t I think about just doing something about it? Don’t worry mate. With your brilliant insight I’ll have it fixed by Wednesday.
And yet you’re expecting the rest of the world to fix it for you.
Imagine saying this to the Jews in 1930s Germany.
“Jews” didnt elect Hitler, germans did.
”Akshually” Hitler wasn’t elected, he was appointed by the president who was pressured by industry magnates, the tech billionaire parallel of that time. That isn’t to say he didn’t have support, he barely lost the election, but he wasn’t actually elected to lead the nation.
The US is one Reichstags fire away from going down the same road.
Very similar to Trump gettinginto power too. He didn’t win by a majority of the popular vote last election (only had a plurality), and he lost the popular vote the first go.
dude, the world already hated the usa before trump. clean up your own mess.
Stop being lazy assholes and work on fixing your problems yourselves.
The tools of geopolitics aren’t all that granular. The only thing an outside country can do is make your cities like the cities of Germany at the end of WWII, or like Gaza is today. If you’re asking for other countries to fix your problems for you, that is the result.
Banning the US from the Olympics, World Cup or whatever doesn’t change anything, and it probably would just be more fodder for your fascist propaganda.
Ending trade with the US? Yeah that’s happening, but it won’t be something that’ll happen tomorrow. This is something that will happen over the next decade. You might even have a Democrat as President when things get really bad because of the shit Trump is doing today. And then you’ll vote in another fascist. The stupidity of Americans has become incredibly predictable. Which is why no one can trust you long term.
You’re just stupid, and there’s no fixing stupid. And you have nukes. You’re the guy that gave a monkey an uzi, and then wants someone else to deal with it. Nah, we’re just going to stay away from both the monkey with the uzi and we’re also going to stay away from the idiots that gave an uzi to a fucking monkey. You go take the uzi away from the monkey, you’re the one that gave it to him.
I would never give a monkey an uzi, but my neighbors believed it was an awesome idea. The neighbors far across the pond think we’re all the same over here and that I’m to blame for the monkey having an uzi. So idk… I just pray we all survive this without everyone picking up an uzi.
I just pray we all survive this without everyone picking up an uzi.
Thoughts and prayers eh?
Ban us from the Olympics
Greetings from Los Angeles 2028
Starting to call orange pedo’s bluffs would be nice however other governments aren’t unfortunately the only players in this game. There are quite influential actors (i e tech billionaires) that are probably quite happy with Trump giving them the green light to do whatever the fuck they want.
Tanking his investments with a unified response would be nice too but they couldn’t even do it for Putin for which the aesthetics would be much cleaner, so I don’t have a grain of hope they will do it when Trump is in power. Maybe only after he leaves office, but even then not sure they would want to “damage the reputation of an ex-president” (as if he has any).
they couldn’t even do it for Putin
They barely tried… did gas ever stop flowing from Russia to Germany?
While I do support the world doing all it can to end the U.S. empire, I think it is a case of “you broke it, you fix it”. The USA was born out of genocide, grown on slavery, and continued to expand from imperialist exploitation of every county and people they could exploit. The U.S. citizenry has been just fine with supporting (or at least turning a blind eye to) dictatorships and fascism all over the planet, but now that they are getting a taste of it at home it is suddenly a problem.
The world can’t mend your problems, USA, YOU need to clean your own fucking house.
Yes, you tell them. On Lemmy, of all places haha.
best we can do is strongly worded letters
Thoughts and prayers 🙏
Sorry. You got us all to fall for capitalism. Now our governments only think of the profits. They don’t care about your personal freedoms and liberties. Or ours, for that matter.
We all need to organize and unionize.
Except that we are also victims of capitalism. What’s that about class consciousness?
We need to be defeating capitalism in our countries first to then come to aid our neighbours after.
Who is you? The English?
Yes
This isn’t political humor. Its real. Please NATO, other U.S. allies help us.
