If that’s mind boggling then you really need to read an actual history book.
Life for the avg America is FAR from problematic enough to have riots start yet. Even our worse off tend to have just enough care from other Americans to be upset but content. We are taking care of our down trodden just enough.
You need starvation, active destress, or wide spread unemployment.
We have food it’s just expensive.
We arnt in active physical danger.
We have just enough jobs that groups of people arnt massing together.
End of the day the very same message of help your fellow man, do good in your community and decades of social safety nets put into place. Are doing their job of allowing the American people to coast by happy enough.
If you want riots then you need to start making people physically miserable, scared and hungry.
“I want to make everything possible to stop this government- as long as it doesn’t make me involved in anything “
“I live too far from everything to do anything “
“Our politics doesn’t work that way, you don’t understand that”
“We are the land of free and all the guns and something “
“we can’t do it in 24 hours, so we are not gonna do it at all” - that’s a new one
Funny (but not in a good way) reading all the different kinds of excuses Americunts come up with to justify their inaction when their officially elected corrupt fascist pedophile president threatens to wipe out an entire nation in a genocide.
I bet you also don’t have the time because you need to go to work, right? This one excuse was used quite often.
As a side note, the usaian culture about work observed through internets is just… absolutely bonkers. Everyone is constantly complaining how terrible their jobs are, how they suck them dry emotionally, physically, financially - yet even if nukes were flying they’d probably still just meekly say they gotta go to work
I’m curious how it is you know that Americans aren’t already talking and planning insurrection, since it likely takes weeks to months to plan out. You just know, I guess. If some disingenuous Eurocunts halfway across the world don’t see direct evidence of what would be necessarily hidden activities, well then…
It’s almost like the most egregious and non-sensical anti-American comments in here are indistinguishable from the world-class paid trolling efforts of a couple of major players we’ve all heard of.
It was always bullshit the joke used to be they would be helpless and guns useless against a corrupt government. And as we learned it was always projection they want to be the corrupt government.
Everyone’s to broke to travel and it takes 8 hours to drive across Nebraska
Jesus tap dancing Christ, man… It’s an illusion to make people believe they’ll always have the power to stand up. It clearly works, considering you’re quoting it and blaming the average citizens fighting back and going unnoticed because you couldn’t find the time to realize they’re trying to barely scrape by themselves. Blame the leaders who have a face, not the average citizen who’s actually protesting. Not everyone can light themselves on fire in public protests to appease you.
The US has been openly genociding trans people within its borders and no one cares. People turned out for Palestine and Venezuela to the extent that the state allowed them to, but have been seemingly silent on Cuba. Genocide is as American as the Kardashians.
To be clear, I’m not talking about politically savvy users on Lemmy. You’re not the problem. The problem is the “white moderate” that MLK talked about in his letter. The problem is the apoliticals who complain about having to take the scenic route to Starbucks because of protesters on the streets. It’s the so-called “adults” who treat politics like an optional sport. It’s the people who have never heard of AIPAC, and who act surprised to learn that the US is at war. Those people need a good wake up slap.
The cultists are too far gone, the only hope for them to rejoin civilized society is literal cult deprogramming
Look, I agree with every one of your other points, but to say that “the US has been openly genociding trans people” is ludicrously stupid. Yes, some of the states are making anti-bathroom laws, and some of the states are making laws about not allowing medical/therapeutic support to minors for transitioning, and the federal government is making anti-trans executive orders about colleges… but genocide? Seriously?
Don’t water down the use of the word genocide. It’s a very serious thing that is currently happening and supported by the US, but that is not what is happening with trans people. Yet. It might happen with the way things are going, but not yet.
Most people on here gave Jewish pundits shit for calling 700 Jewish deaths in the October attack another “holocaust” and “genocide.” We give those same people shit for not calling 70,000 Palestinian deaths a genocide. Don’t be like those people.
or, to put it another way, what are we supposed to do when we can’t go out in public because we don’t wanna get arrested for using the bathroom? what are we supposed to do when we are stripped of necessary healthcare that we NEED to survive? when our passports and driver’s licenses are revoked? when bit-by-bit we are erased from being able to exist in public life entirely?
Trans people being effectively legislated out of existence and the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention has issued three red flag alerts, but go on about how it’s not a genocide
the Lemkin Institute believes that the United States is squarely within the early to middle stages of a genocidal process against trans people, the goal of which is to completely erase transgender people not only from public life but also from existence in the U.S. and globally
I urge anyone skimming by to the article I linked, if you have 5 minutes. It’s actually a pretty good read. I’ll also note that this is why I fled the US when I had the chance
There’s literally one window with a large X in the top right. NPR and Wikipedia do the same thing. But here, I copied the first three paragraphs for you so you don’t have an excuse.
The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security is releasing this third Red Flag Alert for the USA related to the Trump Administration’s anti-trans initiatives, which have continued to expand nationwide since our last Red Flag Alert (RFA) on this subject. Over the eight months since the second RFA’s publication, the Republican Party’s anti-trans agenda has radicalized and continued to intensify. 2025 was the sixth consecutive record-breaking year for the number of anti-trans bills considered across the country. There was a 45 percent increase in bills between 2024 and 2025. Between 2021 and 2025, the number of bills in consideration has increased by 668 percent.
The Administration has moved from identifying transgender people as a threat to the family and to the nation’s military prowess to claiming that transgender people constitute a cosmic threat to the spiritual health of the nation and the greatest direct threat to U.S. national security in the world. Given these ideological developments, especially coupled with the increasingly hostile and draconian legislation against trans identities, the Lemkin Institute believes that the United States is squarely within the early to middle stages of a genocidal process against trans people, the goal of which is to completely erase transgender people not only from public life but also from existence in the U.S. and globally.
Genocide against trans people takes on patterns that set it apart from the mass murder genocides that people commonly associate with the crime, such as the Holocaust. Currently, the genocide against trans people follows a pattern – denial of identity (pattern #9 in the Lemkin Institute’s Ten Patterns of Genocide) – that makes it more familiar to the colonial genocides against indigenous populations, including the residential/boarding school systems in North America and Australia, where indigenous children were “allowed” to go on living if they gave up their identities, including their languages. Denial of identity involves two main steps: preventing people from openly expressing an identity and destroying institutions that reproduce the identity. Given that the denial of identity is the consequence of a well-defined hostility, even hatred, for the identity, the pattern is often characterized by incitement against the group. Alongside suppression and incitement, perpetrators of this pattern of genocide will simultaneously criminalize the identity, so that expressions of it or institutions that reproduce it become characterized as threatening and corrosive to the body politic and warranting state violence and coercion. People who assert or support the denied identity then become criminal elements that must be eliminated. In the case of the boarding schools, children who used their mother tongue or otherwise showed signs of their independent identity were severely punished.
Ok, the first thing you guys need to do is shut the fuck up about Kamala. Nobody outside the US cares that you’re mad at the people who didn’t vote for Kamala because of Gaza. It’s in the past. The snark makes you feel good but is 100% pointless.
The people have all the authority. The people are the country, and all agencies are there to serve the people. The people are the highest authority. The people should fix the problem, since it’s the people who voted in the corrupt fascist pedophile into power.
Even the local traffic cops have enough firepower to take down a village; the farce of a 2nd amendment does nothing against real tyranny, it’s just for meatheads to injure themselves or their loved ones and oppress minorities when they get scared. I’m in California; all my votes go blue and are meaningless on the national scale. No amount of standing in front of buildings or blocking roads will make a dent in the capitol overlords that own the levers of accountability.
What do you suggest? I take pretty extreme “voting with your dollars” positions that have excluded me from a ton of social and family things. I have protested, taken days off work, marched, signed petitions. I’ve donated to progressive politicians, I’ve talked about what’s going on to apathetic people to the point where they don’t talk to me much anymore or ask to stop talking politics. Everything I’ve voted for has pretty much passed, and my representatives do the right things for the most part. I actively participate in a local network of people connecting resources to protect immigrants by hosting some services on my self-hosted network for people to organize on (I have personally sponsored meshtastic communicators and provided access to an anti-ice private channel).
I’m pretty tired of doing what feels like a huge amount of effort, only to be told I should be doing something different or more. I fought so hard against the right, that the flanking snark attacks from the left and the implication that I’m somehow complicit by not doing enough or the right thing are driving me towards apathy. I’m fucking exhausted.
So, hey, Americans, your president is openly threatening genocide. You might uh, want to do something about that. Just a thought.
Open to suggestions.
I don’t think any of y’all know how well protected this asshole is
It’s mind boggling to me there have been no riots by this point.
If that’s mind boggling then you really need to read an actual history book.

You arent in percieved active physical danger.
If trump launches a nuke boy that sure will change lickity split tho
Wait for the military draft and the fucking MAGAts will be the first ones to cry.
Simultaneous angry mobs outside the white house and mar-a-lago could be nice. I would come out from California to join that.
Who supports him?
Who supports them?
I think the application of pressure goes where its possible to apply it, instead of where it isn’t.
Work together with independents and disenfranchised republicans to primary 75+% of the democratic party over the next 4 years.
The GOP and the DNC are the sword and shield of the wealthy elites respectively.
Not a short term solution, but the best time to plant a tree is 10 years ago. 2nd best time is today.
“I want to make everything possible to stop this government- as long as it doesn’t make me involved in anything “ “I live too far from everything to do anything “ “Our politics doesn’t work that way, you don’t understand that” “We are the land of free and all the guns and something “
Go find the richest person in your local city.
You have one, they exist. Probably several in the same area.
Make it their problem.
especially since the whoopsie that one time
Insurrection?
Can you plan and execute an insurrection in less than 24 hours?
Most people couldn’t even get to DC with less than a weeks notice.
“we can’t do it in 24 hours, so we are not gonna do it at all” - that’s a new one

Then what was the point of all that 2nd amendment talk? Was it all bullshit cause you wanted to keep your pow pow?
Guns and no balls, Thats what’s so dangerous about the regular American.
Like I said elsewhere, your country was won by fat farmers and regular people who grew balls.
It was always bullshit the joke used to be they would be helpless and guns useless against a corrupt government. And as we learned it was always projection they want to be the corrupt government.

They just filed articles of impeachment - so that’s something…
https://www.congress.gov/119/bills/hres1155/BILLS-119hres1155ih.pdf
Its been proven that the impeachment doesn’t do shit. Infact the last time we impeached our president he was allowed to run and be elected again.
Unanimously supported or is it again an isolated democrat move? Asking because it’s kindof annoying to let USA delete a whole civilization…
We’ll see ¯_(ツ)_/¯
And it’ll go just like last time, every Republican closes ranks and it wastes everyone’s time

no, talking out of your ass about shit you don’t actually know anything about is the ludicrously stupid thing. stay in your lane

they WANT us to die

I would take them seriously but their mobile site is a shit spam of donation ads and unuseable.
Seems like a shit company that’s just trying to profit off good messaging from where I’m sitting.
Pretty great example of good message ruined by greed.

They voted him into office, this is what “Americans” want
You know they are too pussy ass about it, but you know freedum!
but they didn’t vote for the genocidal kamala.
how could this have happened???
Edit: really? It was not clear enough that this is sarcasm?
Ok, the first thing you guys need to do is shut the fuck up about Kamala. Nobody outside the US cares that you’re mad at the people who didn’t vote for Kamala because of Gaza. It’s in the past. The snark makes you feel good but is 100% pointless.
I’m outside the US and am mad
Which authoritative body has the power to do something about it, that isn’t openly in cahoots with him? I’ll wait.
The people have all the authority. The people are the country, and all agencies are there to serve the people. The people are the highest authority. The people should fix the problem, since it’s the people who voted in the corrupt fascist pedophile into power.

Well it’s good you acknowledge all the things you cant do.
What about the things you can?
