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.
