Actually the Avengers from Age Of Ultron is appropriate because they destroyed a country fighting an enemy of their own creation and expected everyone to congratulate them for it.

Also they started a Civil War after that, given the domestic political situation that's not too far off either.
I assume at this point, the world sees us as the 3rd picture.
2013 international Gallup poll: "Which country is the biggest threat to world peace"
France pointing to... Syria? Seriously?
Pakistan to India: I don't think about you at all.
There really should be an American flag over Scotland in that one.
It really should be British one.
We don't think the world sees us as the Avengers anymore. At this point things are so bad here we've stopped thinking (which is different than not caring) about how the world thinks of us. For fuck's sake our president started a war when we weren't looking. It's like riding in a bus the size of a football field being driven by a drunk, that's what living in America is like.
More of you could have gone out to vote against him. More of you could go to more than a one day protest once every few months.
Make May 1st your general nationwide strike with more people than the pitiful efforts that have been seen at this point.
I think something most of the outside world doesn't understand about the USA, there are very few "us" unless you're conservative. It's a hyper individualistic society in an extremely large geographic area. The idea of collective anything is a foreign concept to me and I'm literally in a work union for the first time in my life for the worst job I've ever had. Unless my current Union is ok with the strike I can't afford to skip work. If I didn't have a union then the striking would be completely out of the question. I've been let go from jobs at the drop of a hat growing up in a "right to work state". There isn't a social safety net and my neighbors are completely ok with me becoming homeless. People who get to protest I've viewed as being privileged beyond my means. Community here is for the privileged and I'm scraping by to survive.
Then you have nothing to lose, except what little freedom you have left to continue this endless suffering of hand to mouth bullshit.
I can lose my life. I can lose my health. I can lose my freedom. All those things could happen with a high chance of failure without anything changing. In fact I could make the situation worse. The failed assassination attempt on Trump boosted his poll numbers and contributed to his victory and his paranoia.
It's very easy for people like you to tell me to sacrifice, but people like you will never help me.
Make a sacrifice for me first. Do anything to make my life tolerable. Put your money where your mouth is. Then we will discuss what I'm freed up to do to help the world.
How can I help, not being a US citizen?
Get someone over here to give me a full time job. Or sponsor me to move wherever you are. Have a job ready for me when I get there. I got PMP, PMI-ACP, and PSM I certifications along with AWS certifications. I need either a source of income that can support me without firing me for protesting or a way out after I do whatever you want done.
