    For Americans, for the rest of us, we can confidently say, you failed to win a war you started for no reason at all, your country has become an utter failure, no one can trust a single thing coming out of your country, from the food, to the media, to the words of the president, absolutely nothing is trusted with the american seal of approval, your tech industry is just an extension of the goverment now, so can’t trust that either.

    I’ll give you one thing tho, you are unifying the world in mockery of your sad pathetic actions.

      As an American, I totally agree. I am at a loss as to how we got to where we are so quickly, how it can be fixed, or what I should do as an individual. Feels like a slow motion train wreck that was easily predicted and warned about, yet nobody changed anything to avoid it.

      The most frustrating thing is that writing my representatives in government, voting, and protesting all seem completely ineffectual.

        It cannot be fixed. If you eventually come back and try to repair things, you’ll find we (Europe) have replaced your products (from tech and culture to friendship and security) with much better local alternatives.

          Good, we deserve it. Whether we take responsibility and attribute the consequences to our actions or not is a big unknown. Hopefully we can fix ourselves internally at some point so we can at least try reconcile with the world.

        Like, dont get me wrong, we want to like you guys again, you just need to get the exterminator in and exterminate the rat infestation you have going on.

        Unfortunately beyond another assassination attempt, which isn’t the best option, its gonna take your politicians growing a fucking pair and removing him themselves, they have the system to do it and he sure as fuck meets the requirements.

        You all also need to get the fuck out and vote them out next election, dont listen to the bots saying “stay home” go out and vote the Nazis out.

        Here’s how I see it, if you dont vote, you dont get to bitch about the government.

        I’m gonna shoot straight with you: USians haven’t been protesting nearly enough. Like not even remotely close. You all need to be out there, striking, organising.

        Please don’t fix it, the world will be better off without you being able to act in charge. You have objectively been a force for evil my entire life and long before.

        Let your global reputation and power forever be damaged.

          To be clear, I don’t mean “fix it” as in restoring our reputation or power. We need to fix ourselves internally. If you think we have been a force for evil in the past, imagine how much worse it could be if we continue in the direction we are sprinting now. That is why we need to fix ourselves.
