I can tell a lot of you were too young when we did Iraq, so you have never experienced a world where everyone who isn't us knows we're the bad guys and is rightfully pissed off at us for what we've done.

You are experiencing the most minor form of blowback. How about instead of yelling at the people in your replies telling you to overthrow your government you simply say "I'm sorry for what we've done; I'm trying, but Americans are not the direct action type" and move on?

Because this thing? Where you cry about how unfairly you're being treated while saying "I cannot be a revolution by myself" is unseemly and you would know it was a bad look if it was anyone else doing it.

You can simply choose not to respond in anger, and understand these people are frustrated with us because we keep electing Hitlers and we have all the bombs. That's natural. They're upset too. Have a little understanding and maybe they won't keep calling us pigs.

@AnarchoNinaWrites this is why the vision quest in Disco Elysium where you were the last communist and you were going to build communism all by yourself was so funny..

@AnarchoNinaWrites Oof, that hurts. But you are precisely correct. We are not the direct action type.

@AnarchoNinaWrites americans have their country thanks to direct action. If they aren't anymore, for some reason/despite the propaganda, they deserve the consequences of their inaction.
