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.
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.

But you’d be fine with it if he did it while you were looking, of course
My point is that we’re so inundated with terrible news and horrific policy we can’t start to mount an opposition to a specific change before the next horror arises. We had military occupations in our cities which have been forgotten because that was half a dozen scandals ago.
Personally I’ve been in panic mode for a year because I was a government contractor before Trump let Elon Musk lay me off. Due to the economy Trump is directly responsible for the only job I could find pays 1/4 of what I was making with no benefits.
Now there is a war. I’m going hungry.

You didn’t do that under previous presidents either.

Damn, truly nobody has been more mistreated by the US Empire than you. I’m sure the people Gaza would be horrified if they only knew.
Now there is a war.
And apparently it would be ok if it wasn’t started behind your back?
Ahh yes. Quantification of suffering to dismiss it as invalid. The ol’ .ml classic.
That comment was not about “quantification of suffering,” it was pointing out that untold suffering was already being caused by the US and its war criminal presidents before the most recent one was in office. Yet so many only seemed to notice when it started effecting them personally. Which isn’t surprising, but when Americans who previously just went about their privileged lives up until Trump came along talk as if this juggernaut of misery, cruelty, and death is only a recent thing, that’s very demeaning to the millions who have bore the brunt of that cruelty for decades. It is also frankly chauvanistic. It is very inappropriate to write that off as “quantification of suffering” but it sounds like you just have a beef with the .ml instance.
Fair, not the instance in general, but certain bad actors among you. I still see it as dismissial of suffering through comparison. Not a valid play in my book.

What do you mean anymore? Have a look at Wikipedia. They are the asshole neighbours for many decades.
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.

You say this like it was any better before Trump
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.
Or I will do my best to divest myself from anything that involves the American economy. By starving your economy, it has less money to make military equipment, and therefore to enforce evil wars.

Not beating the stereotype
We’ve been protesting weekly here in MN.
Let’s go! 55 weeks in a row now here.
Every day, all day, clog the arteries of industry.

For the democrats, it was more important to continue literal fascism and teach the left a lesson than to win.

Major Asshole!
This implies the global south enjoyed imperialism before Trump. The global south should be far more against the US Empire in the top image.

Pakistan to India: I don’t think about you at all.
It’s very funny to see Japan, Vietnam, and the Philippines complain about China, given that China’s not the one that had a boot on their necks for the last 80 years.
Vietnam is changing on that. Hard to imagine anything that would change the minds of the other two.
You have to deny so many American atrocities to make a map like this.
Is Israel green in the bottom map or not? 🧐
Even Antarctica!
Since the Trump tariffs
Most Americans hate trump now too
Can confirm. American. I hate Trump.
Canada hated them before Trump.
Need Frank Castle in the top photo. Bottom picture should replace center photo, and bottom photo should be replaced by the video of that orangutan driving a golf cart or a photo of a group monkeys, some masterbating and some flinging excrement.
Before you laugh to hard at the Spaceballs, consider that they did very nearly asphyxiate an entire planet.

I’m surprised nobody in the 2nd or 3rd pics are morbidly obese
In space, you’re weightless.
It used to be that I hated government, not the people. Now even with people I have to consider there are openly fascist ones supporting Trump.
Why are you using the “Spaceball dollar” for most international trade?
Why are you buying your weapons from the Spaceball?
Why do you make deals conceding power to the Spaceball?
Why does the Spaceball get a UN veto?
WHY
Because I need oxygen to live and they’re the ones selling it.
