    They don’t give a shit because nobody is holding them accountable. The rest of the western world is waiting for the American people to start holding their government accountable and it’s just not happening.

      It didn’t happen in Germany or Japan even after they were firebombed and / or nuked.

      People really don’t like holding power - even the formerly poweful - to account; and people in power generally don’t like it either (unless it suits them).

      I suspect it’s partly because doing so would lead to the obvious question: who gave then the power in the first place?

        You are making some pretty wild statements… those in power don’t actually like holding power? That is a bonkers statement to me. The people who SHOULD have the power never do, because they simply don’t want the power. I can maybe see that, but the people in this day and age that HAVE the power? Most definitely want it, in fact I’d argue they want even more. Gluttonous savage pigs that they are. Will consume and consume and consume until someone puts a stop to it.
