Um… Enduring? If thought Iranians are the ones enduring stuff… like, bombs…
We’re going to need a shit ton more memes to distract americans from the nightmare they created
K
We need memes for the people on the receiving end so they can forget about getting bombed for a second.
How are Americans enduring anything for a war halfway around the world? The defense sector is hiring.
“Defense” sector
Those JLTVs and THAADs won’t 3D print themselves
me last night reading the news as i’m trying to go to sleep
Seriously, Americans need to stop acting so helpless. GOP. Trump. NAZIs. They’re not us.
and i’m certain you have a detailed plan that involves you staying put behind your keyboard.
Such animosity towards someone saying we strictly shouldn’t do just that. Probably just telling on yourself.
if you need a translation for how everyone reads this conversation:
“all these people (not me) need to go do something about it!”
“which includes you”
"
stop projecting"uhhhhhh sure dude
Oh, so its just me. Im the lone soldier. You’re right, your way makes the most sense.
Troops assemble! Hear my detailed plan! Meet you all in the town square at sun down. Leave it to me, anon!
How very American to worry about the nightmare you’re enduring.
Nope, just worried there wont be enough memes to keep the people complacent.
distract americans from the nightmare they are enduring
I assure you the nightmare is being experienced more acutely and directly by the people being actively bombed.
Yes but this is .world, so only Americans and the protocols of the elders of Zion larp group count as people.
was about to say lmfao
good old american exceptionalism. couldnt believe i was reading that right.
It’s “lemmyshitpost” not “lemmybetakenseriously.”
Yeah, but do they have memes to distract them?
Check out my post history fam, I got you.
that’s pretty wholesome

What’s super weird is that it resembles the war in Iraq but dumber.
After 9/11 Americans were out for blood, for revenge.
This time they were out for blood, democrat blood. Revenge for… being told to stay inside.
I guess every 20 years they realize they hate each other so they outsource the violence?
America is truly that neighbour which has constant domestic drama that the rest of the neighbourhood has to put up with constantly cause they are too nice to shun said neighbour.
America is also low key invading america
The US made the first move. The US-citizens should get cover now since they opened the Pandora’s Box…
This country has been divided since shortly after the revolution in the 18th century. It all boils down to racism and selfishness. I’m so ashamed of this country.
I hate that 2/3 of my fellow citizens support this, either directly or or tacitly by choosing not to vote.
I really hope the protest/non voters are happy with the outcome they chose. I can’t wait to hear them tell me that Harris would have done this too! Anything to justify intentionally causing the suffering of more people…
‘voting is the only indicator of support’
You are the problem please leave this country.
No, voting is literally the least you can do, and that’s too much for some people…
You mean the people getting gassed and beaten and locked in cages fighting these bastards?
Who’ve been getting shot and stabbed and run over by them in street fights for a decade or more?
Yeah. Couldn’t be asked to lift a finger
That’s not ‘the least you can do’ by any means, but good try at a lazy gotcha to someone who has been tear gassed at these kinds of protests for years.
Yes, voting is the least you can do. Protesting is a very good tactic, but choosing to disregard political opportunities tells me you’re not really worth listening to.
Have fun playing computer warrior, kid, I’m tired of you.
Does that mean you’ll leave?
Protests
I also meant literally fighting these bastards, you know ; the Nazi gangsters?
Whitaker followed up, asking, “If Iran is building a nuclear weapon, would you take military action?”
“I’m not going to talk about hypotheticals at this moment,” said the vice president.
Bombing the shit out of the Middle East is the only bipartisanism the US has ever reached, therefore yes, a Democrat would have had to bomb something because that’s what US presidents do. Anyway, keep on blaming voters instead of holding the party accountable for its mistakes.
“Don’t blame the voters who elected the president” is the sort of argument I’d expect from someone intentionally ignoring that he bombed nuclear sites.
BoTh SiDeS arguments are stupid and people who make them should be ignored. Like I said, anything to justify your bad choice.
You are the problem please leave the country.
I’m not the one who helped let a Nazi win. I’m doing what I can, but I can’t change things with citizens who ignore how the system works and choose to sit out and let this shit happen.
You are. You continue. Please actually do something or leave.
How the system works
I don’t think I’m the one who’s been ignoring that.
What a Trumpy thing to say.
Voting doesn’t mean shit. I’m sick of arguing with bluemaga. Fuck it. Fight or get out. Stop blaming people who you think have a responsibility to lick your copmommy’s boots.
If fighting fasch were so important, you should have made literally any compromise.
I’m sick of arguing with bluemaga
then don’t.
Take your own advice and go fight or get out or whatever. Stop blaming people who you think have a responsibility to do whatever it is you think they should be doing for you and go do the thing yourself.
If fighting fasch were so important, you wouldn’t be indoors on lemmy telling people to leave.
go fight
No that sounds scary. I don’t want to go outside! There’s robbers and stuff out there!
If fighting fasch were so important, you should have made literally any compromise.
Any compromise other than voting for the Democrats, you mean. Clearly that’s a compromise too far for plenty here.
Or just any policy compromise. Don’t suck so much billionaire dick, 20% less enthusiasm with the genocide, do something about the cops, whatever. I don’t need everything.
Both sides arguments are actually pretty enlightened. You can have criticisms of both candidates and vote for harm reduction. If anything the inability to criticize both sides for where they are the same is the same type of belligerent as MAGA. Harris running on building a fucking wall was a fucking disgrace.
But fuck not blaming voters for their stupid fucking decisions and fuck the sham of a democracy the US electoral system is. FPTP and WTA elections in the modern age are a fucking disgrace as well as no equal representation and voting with money.
I didn’t make a choice. I don’t live in the US. But my country is strewn with US military bases and it wasn’t Trump who put them there.
Trump is simply more ignorant about how a US president should bomb the shit out of Middle Eastern countries, but don’t act like he invented anything.
And yes, on some things “both sides suck” because the US have been terrorizing other countries for decades.
They bring desolation and have the gall of calling it peace.

Bombs are falling in the Middle East, but it is Americans who are in a nightmare? Lol.
Please have a little empathy for the americans who bomb innocent people.
Well, this is on .world, so only Americans and the protocols of the elders of Zion LARP group count as people here.
I have a hunch the title might have been cynicism.

My previous comment on another thread was pretty much the same: https://lemmy.world/post/31795092/17812429
You’re right, things are just peachy here. Disregard.
No but to OP’s point, the only reason why this keeps happening without Americans fighting back is because enough of them have it good enough.
So not peachy, but clearly good enough for a comfortable enough hole in the sand for your head.
If there are enough memes, that is.
No, the Americans need to be consistently reminded of what their government is doing so that there’s at least the slightest chance they’ll put a stop to it. They don’t get to ignore the problem, it’s their job to fix it. They are not babies to be coddled.
We are. There are protests throughout the country every day that the media is either ignoring, or painting as “riots.”
I have no clue what to do. I’m American. I’m trans. I voted for Harris. I live in a blue state. I’ve gone to protests. I’ve talked to state senators about legislation. I’ve canvassed. I’ve talked to Trump supporters and tried to get them to change their minds.
it all feels totally useless. nothing I’ve done has had any effect. my own mom voted for Trump three times. it’s like being chained to an anvil and thrown overboard. I’m swimming but I’m still drowning.
Thank you for your efforts, I hope things improve for you ❤️
You do know what to do and you are doing it! It’s not going to magically solve everything but you are doing more than most people.
Continue doing exactly that and convince others to do the same. It’s a slow process but the only way to fix things.
