It's we. It's our government. It's our country. Any action or inaction is on all US citizens.
As a Native American… no.
You get a pass.
Agreed
Settler-democratic imperialism kinda disempowered you, so your no counts big, but sadly not where it counts.
Unless you pay American tax. That's what puts the blood on your hands... Funding it. That's an unfuckwithable fact.
Lawsuits are already in place to remove tax burdens from Native Americans following the McGirt decision.
Good to hear!
Will have to look into this. Though I assume it's more for those in reservation/tribal lands? I am in the rolls but not the reservation myself.
Well, the alternative is basically suicide by starvation, suicide by other means, or becoming a mass shooter. You over-estimate how much others can do.
Fuck that, I didn't vote for the people making these decisions.
The State gets legitimised by more than just voting.
Cool, spread that blame around on every country that legitimizes the US by recognizing its sovereignty and cooperating with its military and every citizen of those countries.
EU, Russia, China, UN et al cannot legitimately make a constitution for the US. Hell, they even let West-Germany after freaking WW2 have their own constitution for a reason.
I can't make a legitimate constitution either, any amendment requires 38 of 50 states to agree! The entire system was built to disproportionately empower rural areas because we "needed" their economic support to break free from Great Britain. (And we had substantial foreign assistance in that endeavor)
Think inside the box speedrun
Forgive me if I'm not receptive of people thousands of miles away from me telling me I should go get shot by a fascist government or else it's my fault they're evil.
I'm sorry, if I made you solely responsible for "your" country's government's actions, I didn't keep attention to the handle. As I see it, federal and federating states, the two US parties are co-enabling each other and as a result, no one can really vote about a political system change. AFAIK, peaceful change has happened before, where they had some sort of constitutional assembly. Sure, given the unequal political mobilisation status atm, it seems unlikely, but if such ideas are unthinkable in the rigorous definition of the word, long term or massive violence will be likely, because no system is forever. Again, not your fault or sole responsibility, beyond "your" country identity, read: you as part of 340,110,988 people ± your sociopolitical power. Don't get shot.
You are exactly as capable of flying to Washington DC and "storming the capital" as I am and the result would be identical.
Mate, I’m 100% confident I am on a no fly list.
Likewise if you haven’t noticed, there’s something called border security and your country has been been locking people up at airports for not having ample social media accounts and talking badly about your fuhrer.
Stop making excuses for why everyone else should clean up your mess.
Come get your boy Rupert Murdoch and his spawn then since we're cleaning up our own messes, or is the architect of contemporary right-wing media control my responsibility as well?
He has been an American citizen since 1985, when he also renounced his Australian citizenship.
Or are you one of those racists who thinks immigrants never belong in their new home?
Nice b8 m8.
It's not bait, you're literally denying an immigrant their citizenship in your country and treating them like they still belong to the country they grew up in.
It's pretty sad how low you'll go to find an excuse for why Americans shouldn't have to act to stop Trump.
We do
