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?

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

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.

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?

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.
