I am so tired of the fucking usa, wish they would just implode, fuck off, and leave everyone alone.
I live there and basically... Yeah. I mean, it feels like we are on a direct course for implosion.
Sorry the rest of you have to deal with our bullshit.
It would be cool if you and your fellow citizens (millions of you, not just the handful who have been shouting into the wind so far) got together and did something to prevent that implosion.
I have to apologize. Venting is one thing, but I don't think I really have an excuse for that, so I'm going to leave it there and maybe I'll learn something. Having said that, the position this has put me in has been a nightmare to say the least. And I know I'm not the only one. The shit I've had to do in the last month alone to prepare for possible shtf is insane, and it's far from over. If it was just me alone, I'd be ok, but it's not. Just fuck. Sorry.
As another US person, I don't think you have anything for which you should apologize. Everyone, everywhere, should be angry about what the US is doing - internally and externally. I would never think it's wrong to say "I wish Nazi Germany had imploded before it became WWII and mass murder"; Nazi US is no different.
It's terrifying to be here but I don't think anyone should be quiet about how awful this is.
Hugs to you, friend. I hope we all come out of this okay.
No worries, I get it. This shit is terrible, and while its not all Americans, its embarrassing how many of us are for the craziness. I always knew I was surrounded by dumbasses but holy shit, its way worse than I ever expected.
its embarrassing how many of us are for the craziness.
It should also be embarrassing how few of you are actively fighting back against the collapse of your own country.
Those few hundred person protests? They should be millions. And they should be constant.
That's the only way you'll reclaim your country from the fascists who are taking it over and destroying ~250 years of progress.
But who can keep them safe from the Nazis in America?
Vance says whatever he's told to say.
And his traitorous wife
The US made agreement with Denmark to do this in 1951. Instead, the US has gone from 10000 personel to 200 and closed the majority of their bases. From 17 to 1 base.
This is Danish foreign minister on the subject after it being clear that JD Vance has no idea what he's talking about
what in the fuck leads him believe that Greenland is in danger?
It's a racket, a stick up job. "Nice country you've got, it would be a shame if anything happened to it. We can help you keep it safe, for a price."
Who exactly is the intended audience?
Same as it ever is. Their Russian handlers and their mouth breathing, Nazi loving supporters.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
