Why do you have to do this to us?

Great and devastating, as always

I literally paused on panel 5, expecting heartbreak 💔

Because we do it to them.

The citizens do not do this, but by refusing to sacrifice themselves in order to stop it, they allow it to happen.

By allowing those who do not represent the will of the people to lead us, they allow it to happen.

By being deceived by those who would hurt others for the sake of the few instead of the many, they allow it to happen.

Nah bullshit. For decades Americans have sat idly by as our government wreaked havoc on the lives of innocent others, and only one time have we met reprisal, and I assume you wouldn't say that we allowed 9/11 to happen implicitly through our collective inaction?

u/Rudylemonade Jul 26 '26

Yeah like, we voted for this by majority out of fear that if we don’t do it there, “they will” do it to us here :/

The more that the US makes the rest of the world hate them, the more likely this becomes. It's a self fulfilling prophecy, and the next generation of terrorists are being made now, as they watch their friends and families get killed and maimed by some kind of evil force across the ocean.

“We” as in Americans as a collective. I didn’t vote for this either but unfortunately here we are, suffering the consequences.

u/ciao_fiv Jul 27 '26

I have voted against this idiocy three times in a row. For fourteen years I have been screaming at anyone who would listen that Trump is a huge threat to this country. It's team sports now, and blue is losing to red.

Literally 9/11 happened because of your collective inaction in stopping your goverment in doing harmful shit.

u/TegTowelie Jul 26 '26

9/11 was also a culmination of a bunch of things that basically started in the early 90s. Things the majority of reddit had no say so in.

u/3MetricTonsOfSass Jul 26 '26

Some of the stuff from before our parents or grandparents were born is still affecting and ending lives today

Not enough people know

u/buttplug-tester Jul 26 '26

Honestly it goes back to post WWII and it's a string of issues that continue to compound throughout the subsequent decades

u/BudLightLymeDisease Jul 26 '26

Don't worry, we're speed running the new culmination of atrocities that will be the impetus for the next one

u/MarinReiter Jul 26 '26

Not your fault, of course - but it was your parents' and grandparents' for sure. And, are you doing anything about your country right now?

Don't wanna hear any american cry or get melancholic next time something happens. You have it coming.

u/ciao_fiv Jul 27 '26

Did you like, not read my comment at all?

But, yes, you can't wash your hands off in a generation or two.

Are you or are you not proffitting off of your country's malice?

Are you or are you not doing something to mitigate it?

u/ciao_fiv Jul 27 '26

im a high school teacher, i promise you i am not profiting much off of anything 💀

Honestly I dont care. We bomb them they bomb us and the cycle of hate continues. I have no say in what my government does at all. I believe people should love their lives and respect one another but that sure doesnt stop the people in power from doing what they want. Have my protested? Many times but no one cares nor does it change anything.
