I found this Reddit post and I wanted to comment on it: https://www.reddit.com/r/usa/comments/1jrx01z/as_a_nonamerican_watching_america_implode_i_cant/

My comment: Wherever country one is from, one can partly or mostly agree with the observations made. However, it needs extended perspective and accountability.

People are responsible for actions of their country only to a certain extend, after that, the accountability goes to the country government. I sympathize with all the people ashamed of and angry at their government, whichever it is.

Back to the US.

We are all responsible of what is happening, and we all empower the US government.

By "we" I mean everybody on this planet who:

• eats and drinks at Mc Donald's, Subway, KFC, Starbucks etc.
• works on a computer and smartphone (Microsoft, Apple, Google, Intel, NVidia, etc.)
• consumes centralized numeric media (Netflix, Reddit, Youtube, Facebook, Spotify, etc.)
• orders products online (Amazon, Uber, etc.)
• has a pension fund invested in treasury bills
• invests in global ETFs (Vanguard, Blackrock, Bank specific ETFs, etc.), treasury bills, crypto (USDT, USDC, USDe, FDUSD, etc.) or simply in US stocks
• has a credit card (Visa, MasterCard, etc.)
• buys and spends dollars
• uses GPS
• uses centralized Internet platforms (Google search, ChatGPT, etc.)
• buys US army weapons
• goes on vacation (Boeing, etc.)
• and the list is not exhaustive

QED: we are all accountable.

If one wants to change the world, one has to responsibly and consequently change one's own habits.
