I haven't bought a single U.S. product since early 2025, and I no longer use any U.S. services as long as possible—which required me to go to great lengths to make many changes.

That's probably more than most Americans have done to oppose their government.

No one but themselves can change it. But they don't, precisely because of that attitude.

I argue that U.S. citizens should paralyze the country with a general strike until the regime steps down and major reforms are implemented. Otherwise, nothing at all will change.

But yes, I’ve heard all this so many times before. Including the excuses as to why a general strike supposedly isn’t possible.

What makes you think this wouldn’t undermine the credibility of the U.S.? It’s just as undignified as a cage fight in front of the White House. But hey, I can put your mind at ease—there’s no credibility left to undermine anyway, since the U.S. has already lost it all.

To the rest of the world, however, this has more to do with the fact that U.S. citizens are unable to remove from office a president who is not only incredibly corrupt but who also uses the state apparatus to make the unspeakable crimes he and his billionaire friends commit possible in the first place.

U.S. citizens may be willing to accept it when their leaders rape children and commit the most horrific war crimes. The rest of the world will not put up with it.

In the long run, this will lead to the downfall of the U.S. If you need an example of this, just look at what has become of Russia after the oligarchs took complete control - btw, this was made possible with the support of the U.S. (Clinton had even sent campaign experts at the time to help Yeltsin stay in power).

The citizens of the remaining democratic nations do not want this, and that is why they particularly despise the U.S. citizens for the fact that they stand by and just watch even in the face of these inconceivable atrocities.

It shows all too clearly that even functioning democracies are not immune to the concentrated monstrosity that the U.S. represents with its inhumane capitalism.

This is what this regime has achieved, and one almost has to be grateful to it for that: It has exposed the U.S. for what this country has been for decades.

If even the goddamn BusinessInsider comes to this conclusion, I wonder why they don’t also realize that all stock market transactions work this way today. None of this has the slightest connection to the real world anymore. Stock prices are determined purely by how many billionaires—or rather, their concentrated capital—are betting on which companies. And here’s the key: They always win, because even with the most absurd business ideas, they can drive up the price, which only crashes after the super-rich have sold their shares.

This makes it very easy to understand why the dumbest people in the world never lose money, as long as they’re rich enough.

Humanity is footing the bill for this, and it’s now becoming very clear just how high that bill is.

It’s really astonishing that this particular scam is the one stirring up US citizens, even though the matter is absolutely negligible compared to all the unbelievable corruption of this regime. Well, apparently they need something concrete—symbols, in other words—that offend their national pride in order to grasp just how criminal their government is.

Yes, that, combined with the fact that he's orange through and through, but his posture also comes across as nothing but ridiculous with that barrel-like body and his head jutting forward...

There's something cartoonish about his whole appearance.

I’m not from the U.S. Still, I’m familiar with most of this. Nevertheless, Trump reportedly wanted to slash aid to Ukraine drastically at the start of his second term.

But yes, I completely agree with you. I’ve never been able to understand why so many U.S. citizens are always looking for some kind of foreign “agent” to explain the crimes of their own government. You hear time and again that Trump is a puppet of either Russia or Israel or whomever.

I do consider him a puppet as well, but one who essentially acts on behalf of U.S. billionaires, while shamelessly enriching himself while doing so.

I think the most important thing would be for U.S. citizens to finally realize that their worst enemies are their own so-called elite.

Welcome to 2026, a time when piracy sites continue to receive cease-and-desist letters, but the applications that are being showered with unprecedented investments in the range of fantastrillions are also piracy ventures.

Yet another symbol of the state of the U.S. The MAGA folks are pretty good at that. Take this ridiculous military parade, the absurd cage fight in front of the White House, that goddamn ballroom—and the list goes on and on....

It’s truly unbelievable that, with all this stupid nonsense, they don’t realize how ridiculous and dim-witted they are. But hey, what else can you expect from this clown show....

In a way, it’s almost a good thing for the world, because it really makes it crystal clear just how uncivilized these wretched fascists are.

Biden is still largely responsible for this. If it were up to that orange pedo, all support would be cut off. He has already tried to cut the payments, but failed.

I think it’s great that the courageous fighters in Ukraine are not only demonstrating that resistance against a supposedly superior force is possible, but also how pointless the multi-billion expenditures on so-called defense contractors are.

This should serve as a lesson to the U.S. in particular, since this country isn’t sending billions to Ukraine but is instead funneling money—which is urgently needed here—to its arms manufacturers, just so that billionaires can line their pockets at the public’s expense.

Ukraine is showing just how pointless this is and where the money would be much better spent, if it must be spent on weapons at all.

The sad thing is that the U.S. will never do that, because it is just as much an oligarchy as Russia is, and—contrary to all the propaganda—that’s why it sides with Russia. That doesn’t seem to me to be the will of the American people, but unfortunately, it is the will of their malicious, billionaire overlords.

Here, too, Ukraine is showing that things don’t have to be this way. I have the utmost respect for that!
