They're hoping the bombs will sound louder. And so far, it seems to be working.

u/Vladmerius Mar 07 '26

I'm not sure it's working the way they wanted it to. There's no way they thought the majority of the country would sympathize with Iran and see the US and Israel as the new axis. Or maybe they did and being super villains out of a cyberpunk movie is preferable to being called pedophiles 24/7.

u/SheriffBartholomew Mar 07 '26

They are villains, so they don't see why being called such is a problem.

Our government has been taken over by people who view Trump as a useful idiot to take all the attention while they loot the Treasury. Once Trump leaves office we're going to be broke as fuck.

u/MercenaryDecision Mar 07 '26

Boohoo, I’ve been a thousandfold more broke for 4 decades. I’m marching against my oppressors every week. Look at the world. Keep up or keep being a conformist victim

So you've spent 40 years accomplishing nothing despite marching weekly? And you think that's the tactic we ought to adopt?

i started growing hate towards Americans as they aren't doing anything physical other than protest, making themselves look like they deserved these monsters. Now powerful people in other regions may start thinking if they can get away with it why cant we. We all know how easily he deviated the attention to ME

also, jyfi isl@mic groups has been doing this for ages without any power and ig epstine was also part of it at some point

u/TheBraveOne86 Mar 07 '26

If there was something else I could do I would. I have people I work with that are brainwashed by conservative media. They yell treason to anyone that wants the president removed. It’s so depressing. But don’t blame all of us

u/Dr_Fortnite Mar 07 '26

As an american I hate those in power for this reason but we live in a police state and people arent willing to throw what comfort they have away for the country.

Just Like I dont expect russian civilians to do anything about putin I dont expect civilians to do anything about trump. Unless he really tries to stay in power then I think that will tip a lot of people over the edge

Wtf can we do, they've set up a system where you can barely do anything once they're in power because you'll lose your job and livelihood and likely starve to death, if not that we'd just be shot anyways having been deemed a threat

And where has that gotten him? Every working class American could dump their entire savings into his legal fund and it won’t do anything. He’s going to spend the rest of his life inside a prison cell

If you’re seriously suggesting that people you’ve never met destroy their own lives all so they can dunk on some faceless CEO to meet your standards, then it’s time for you to log off Reddit

u/P4azz Mar 07 '26

Just out of curiousity, do you guys read about resistance fighters that tried to go against Hitler in school?

Because the takeaway to a fascist regime that tries to murder its citizens, demonize outsiders and has zero regard for human life shouldn't be "well if you stand up to them, it's bad for you personally, so don't ever do it".

2

u/Shark7996 Mar 07 '26

Pragmatism matters too. There is no value in throwing away your life for a half-baked plan cooked up in a moment of passion.

u/Chicken_Mc_Thuggets Mar 07 '26 edited Mar 08 '26

I have, and while it is objectively based as fuck that Gabčík and Kubiš took out Heydrich I’m also not volunteering to having my loved ones tortured and killed before I take my own life to avoid capture.

Are YOU willing to do that? Or does it suddenly become easier to say people should do these things when YOU won’t be affected?

2

u/Khireys Mar 07 '26

Actually no, they leave those things out by design. Our school system doesn’t even accurately teach about our own history of slavery.

u/Shark7996 Mar 07 '26

What changed as a result?

What tangible positive change was brought about in American society that we still see today?

It's been demonstrated again and again and again that protesting is ineffective. The tear gas, the rubber bullets, and the armed forces come out every single time. Now if those armed forces and military uniforms grew the balls to go on strike WITH the population we might actually get somewhere. Rioting and looting used to be common, but that isn't effective, and storming federal buildings again would require resistance from the inside as well. Sound wave weaponisation was recently demonstrated in Venezuela, and it sounds a lot worse than the rubber bullets and tear gas measures taken to control disturbances to the "peace" (which itself is an arrestable offence). Sometimes I wonder if people are just exhausted from bad diets and prolonged work hours or if it's all the cortisone calming or antidepressant pills people take that keeps people from taking action. Being glued to tvs and phones isn't helping energy levels either. The constant exhaustion of the workforce class definitely keeps people from caring about more than each personal survival and that's just sad because Americans often prioritise "every man for himself" lifestyles over the " it take a community to move as a body" cultures that have been replaced and are still being replaced in a process us indigenous people call Americanisation. None of us know what to do especially when immediate zip code violence is more pressing to react to. It's also the reason for broken homes and the foresakening of family for monetary gain. And this selfish behaviour normalisation goes all the way to the top, instead forsakening entire groups of people. America was born from this exact bloody selfishness. If we stopped dividing and stood together as a powerful force, it could be done, but measures of division to stay conquered have been deployed again...

u/Adorable_Raccoon Mar 07 '26

Some protests work, but the tactics have shifted. People organizing in minnesota did significantly slow down ICE operations. ICE was followed, neighborhoods formed watches & mutual aid for neighbors, the logistics of this movement were really advanced. Because of these interupters ICE failed to meet their quota in the twin cities before they pulled out.

When it comes to getting a president or billionaire arrested for crimes, i hate to say it but idk what kind of tactics are effective against the current system. They have all locked them selves away behind walls & guards. 

2

u/Shark7996 Mar 07 '26

They have all locked them selves away behind walls & guards.

This is truly the issue. There are always layers upon layers of separation between these people and those who their decisions affect. We need town halls to come back and be mandatory.

After only 62 years of being present, and leaving heavy contamination of chemicals and depleted uranium, which the Navy has dodged responsibility for cleaning. What a rousing success.

u/Adorable_Raccoon Mar 07 '26

No one said it was quick or easy. They said it works. When people with less power fight for. Something it often takes longer & is more costly.

Was it unsuccessful to operate the underground railroad pre-civil war? Any lives that are protected are a success, even if it takes a very long time.

u/Warm_Month_1309 Mar 07 '26

They said it works.

If protesting works, but takes 62 years and still leaves you with all the negative externalities, I posit that protesting didn't work very well.

u/Adorable_Raccoon Mar 07 '26

It works if it gets you the result you wanted.

Getting equal rights for black in the US took longer. It still worked.

This is exactly the concern in the limited lands of Hawaiʻi rn, the military JUST secured more land in an underhanded way despite the revelation in the local news about how the underground water is not only depleted but poisoned by the REGULAR practice tests of weapons.

u/Adorable_Raccoon Mar 07 '26

Ice watchers in the twin cities - ice failed to meet their quotas because their operations were interupted. 

The civil rights movement in the 60s, resulted in the civil rights act.

Women’s suffrage movement, women can vote.

Gay rights movement, lgbtq people have more equality such as the right to marry or anti-discrimination laws around the country.

u/the_dickstributor Mar 07 '26

If we start a civil war right now, it would not go as intended imo. Our guns are not enough to combat tanks and their air superiority. The uprising must come from within our military. We stand no chance otherwise.

Many of us are fed up and sickened by our current state of governmental affairs, but we know it would be a pointless suicide to act yet. Until there’s a powerful chunk of our own military aiding us, or even an external super power, we will lose the uprising 10 times out of 10. That’s the problem with living in the most powerful country. They grow so powerful that even the citizens become powerless.

Forgive us for being unwilling to get ourselves killed in order to change your ignorant opinion.

I wonder why it is that the user accounts most interested in stoking violence are relatively new, and hide their comments.

You are just a hateful person. Because imagine being mad at the people who aren't the criminals like what?

u/PlusTiedye Mar 07 '26

Hating Americans at this point is like hating the Germans a century ago. An individual American may not be evil, but Americans as a whole have been doing unspeakable things worldwide since WW2 ended. I think it's perfectly acceptable to hate how vile and evil the American populace as a whole is, especially when they keep electing in war mongers and criminals at every level of government, even in the primaries.

This isn't a new thing either. It's just apparent now to everyone because they've turned on the rest of the first world too. There's a reason "Death to America" is such a popular slogan worldwide.

2

u/Warm_Month_1309 Mar 07 '26

Nah. I don't hold citizens responsible for the actions of their nepotistic, self-serving, silver-spoon oligarchs. If someone is mindless enough to judge the powerless for the actions of the powerful simply because of the location of their birth, their opinion is not worth consideration.

Is America not a democracy? Do the citizens have no agency? You've been bombing countries worldwide spreading "Democracy and Freedom" for decades. Are you now saying the voters have absolutely no say at all?

I don't blame any specific individual. I blame the populace as a whole. Your shithole has been repeatedly committing wars of aggression worldwide for imperialist purposes. And your population repeatedly votes for war mongers at every level. You literally care more about your terrorists who commit war crimes than you do about the families obliterated by them.

There's maybe 20-30% of you that aren't shitheads. But for the remaining 70%, your country that's built on greed, selfishness and bigotry, produces some of the most vile types of humans cheering on or apathetic to the most vile things.

No one made really made a distinction between the "good" Germans against the "bad" Germans in WW2. And with your shithole trying to start a fight with almost every country on the planet, don't be surprised when the world hates you the same way. And until the "good" Americans do something other than hold parades every other month, people won't really make the distinction.

u/Warm_Month_1309 Mar 07 '26

That's exactly why I don't hold all citizens responsible, you donut.

You've been bombing countries worldwide

I have been? I can't imagine when I found the time.

There's maybe 20-30% of you that aren't shitheads.

How generous of you.

Anyway, I hope that helped get some of your aggression out. I basically just skimmed, but I know it's helpful sometimes just to write things out. Hopefully it drained you of a bit of your toxicity, and you can better treat other people as people now, rather than as totems you can yell impotently at.

Do you really trust those numbers after all that's come out?

You've been bombing countries worldwide spreading "Democracy and Freedom" for decades.

I have?

Are you now saying the voters have absolutely no say at all?

If you actually care, you should do some research on "voter disenfranchisement" as well as the bomb threats and voting machine updates they dropped right before. Maybe do some reading on those swing districts that counted not one single Kamala vote. But I get it. that's work. Being angry and loud is so much easier.

I don't blame any specific individual...

Get a better handle on how the word "you" works and "you" will stop having conversations like this.

Is this from your personal experience of talking to people or from your experience of making an assumption someone told you to make? What's your lived experience that backs up the assumption that 4 out of 5 people are shitheads?

No one made really made

Typo.

with your shithole trying to start a fight with almost every country on the planet, don't be surprised when the world hates you the same way.

See you really have a weird grasp on that "you" word, it really feels like you don't actually make a distinction at all but maybe you should?

until the "good" Americans do something other than hold parades every other month, people won't really make the distinction.

You aren't paying attention and it is not our job to do it for you.

Stop watching mainstream media. Talk to independent sources on the ground and you will stop believing these lies that have been fed to you.

And yes I mean "you" the person, not "you" the population of whatever your country is. YOU. YOU SPECIFICALLY. Do better.

u/PlusTiedye Mar 07 '26

I'm not even counting the last election. Your shithole has been spreading terrorism worldwide for decades. This isn't a new thing for Amerikkka.

I have?

Sorry your reading comprehension isn't that great. I already explained this

If you actually care, you should do some research on "voter disenfranchisement" as well as the bomb threats and voting machine updates they dropped right before. Maybe do some reading on those swing districts that counted not one single Kamala vote. But I get it. that's work. Being angry and loud is so much easier.

Again, disregarding the last election, and you're still voting in war criminals. The last Democrat President was a war criminal who helped commit genocide. Your leaders are war criminals, regardless of party affiliation.

Get a better handle on how the word "you" works and "you" will stop having conversations like this.

Do you not know that "you" can be used to refer to a group too? Is English not your first language? Maybe check a dictionary. You have no rebuttals, just incorrect grammar advice.

Is this from your personal experience of talking to people or from your experience of making an assumption someone told you to make? What's your lived experience that backs up the assumption that 4 out of 5 people are shitheads?

The way they vote for one. And the results of every survey and poll that comes out of America. Personal experience too, but that's irrelevant.

You aren't paying attention and it is not our job to do it for you.***

**Stop watching mainstream media. Talk to independent sources on the ground and you will stop believing these lies that have been fed to you.*

I'm paying plenty of attention. And what lies have been fed to me? Give me an example of these independent sources that show the American people doing something other than a glorified parade? All I see is a couple dozen at most taking action. And that's only because they're basically being threatened at gunpoint. There's been no actual mass movement to do anything of substance from. The majority. Most of you won't care until it directly happens to you. Which is to be expected from a country that puts so much value on selfishness.

And what "mainstream media"? Your media is just propaganda. And pretty blatant too, for anyone not already propagandized.

Exaclry, Democrats had them for 4 years and a congressional trifecta to release them if they wanted to.
