This meme sums up everything there is to say about the U.S.: This war is an act of aggression against a sovereign state that is completely contrary to international law. It doesn’t matter at all how inhumane the ruling regime is (if that were the case, both the U.S. and Israel would be held accountable for their crimes).
It really is all too telling: The U.S. is deliberately bombing schools, where hundreds of children are being torn to pieces by their bombs, but all U.S. citizens care about is how much of their tax money is being spent.
This country is beyond redemption; it is the embodiment of evil. Your president represents your wreched country as well as anyone could: absolute selfishness, absolute inhumanity. That is the U.S.
Edit: Just look at the downvotes even here in there Fediverse. You'd think these would be the decent Americans...
Edit:
United Nations, Charter of the United Nations, Article 2(4), available at https://www.un.org/en/about-us/un-charter/full-text.
Pretty sure the meme is expressing that most US citizens would have preferred spending money on fixing our own problems instead of bombing innocents.
This meme expresses what reasonably educated U.S. citizens think. And it’s not even the irrational MAGA cult, which has no foothold in the Fediverse. These are U.S. citizens expressing their opinions on this platform. And their opinion is that the heinous war crimes committed by their governments don’t matter—only their own well-being does.
If these are supposed to be the critical-thinking U.S. citizens, it’s very easy for me to understand how it’s possible that a serious criminal and obvious pedophile can be their president.
Who says they are asserting they don't matter?
There are so many wrong things to talk about all at once. A throwaway meme pic is going to touch one point, not be a comprehensive dissertation on the entirety of the situation. There are tons of other memes addressing other facets.
The U.S. started this war, committed the most egregious war crimes in the process, and threw the entire world into turmoil by blocking one of the most important trade routes in violation of international law.
And then U.S. citizens still complain that the pedophile mafia boss they themselves elected is costing them money.
I find that despicable.
In a war where innocent children were killed, you complain about trade routes?
You are actually of course right to also complain about the trade routes as well as the atrocities, but by your logic, you should only be complaining about the worst thing and nothing else.
They’re complaining that they aren’t being taken care of in favor of starting wars.
You’re complaining even when US citizens express disgust at what their government is doing.
It’s clear you just hate the US, which is understandable, but attacking individual citizens in comment sections isn’t doing what you think it is.
Maybe you should leave this card to the people who, unfortunately, have to put up with your dull argument. As a European, it doesn't really affect me all too much, but it certainly affects millions of other people.
As if your constant "US and US citizens are all evil" card isn't dull af at this point either.
We get it. A meme expressing that US citizens would rather NOT be in this war or killing innocents probably isn't the place for it.
Yeah, we never ever see any US citizens decrying their governments actions here. Never. Nope. No one speaks up at all, you're right.
This is an intentionally moronic string of shit you made up to further your hatred for a nation, you fucking bigot. Thanks for letting me know though. I aim to block all the toxics.
I think your completely inappropriate national pride has made you completely forget what the word “bigot” means.
I’m really sorry, but you’re a rogue state—which, by the way, is a term the U.S. itself invented.
Here’s my point: You’re still defending the actions of your obviously completely degenerate regime because you see yourself as a proud American. Newsflash: Everything you believe defines your country is a lie.
There is no country in the world that harms the progress of humanity as much as the U.S.
The reason is your inhuman ideology.
