      Broadcasting the Vietnam war brought immense pressure against the government and led to tons of rallies and protests.

      Make the American people uncomfortable with what is being done in our names. Bring the realities of war home.

        The difference is that the media used to be independent. Now the media is now almost completely captured by the accomplices, supporters, and puppeteers of these atrocities.

        Yeah there’s got to be tens of millions of Americans, maybe hundreds of millions, that have no idea that their government is bombing schools abroad. I bet there’s millions if not tens of millions who don’t even know anything about what ICE is doing in their own country.

        Make them see it and maybe they’ll be uncomfortable enough with it to go out and protest.

        Somehow we need to overthrow the government otherwise we’re equally as bad as trump supporters and deserve to die. All the while their leaders enable Trump’s madness

          Clearly you didn’t check your notes very well if you think there’s been nothing significant achieved by American citizens against the government over the past 250 years. It’s fun to dunk on the US these days, but you should at least make valid criticisms.

            if you think there’s been nothing significant achieved by American citizens against the government over the past 250 years.

            As I very clearly said in my comment, I’m specifically talking about US foreign policy (aka imperialism), and historically the best Americans have been able to do is make their military leave after bombing everything to the ground. Maybe you have a different idea but I don’t consider Iraq or Vietnam to be success stories for the American public, and again those are the very best Americans have been able to do.

              There have also been a couple of world wars that the US has assisted in in the past 250 years that I would consider success stories, it wasn’t just Vietnam and Iraq.

          I’m sorry, is there something specific you wanted me to drop my entire life to go do that will put an end to this shit storm that has been decades in the making? Or are you just being an absolutist piece of shit for no reason?

          Also when the Iraq War started I was in middle school, so shame on our preteens for not putting an end to the rise of fascism!

          None of these useless fucks your’re arguing with here have the wherewithal to understand how they are part of the problem and that unless they are as prepared to die for the cause of someone else’s freedom as they are their own, regrettably, you’re not going to get any traction with them or surface understanding.

          The concept of self sacrifice is a completely foreign concept to today’s American, and they FUCKING HATE FOREIGNERS.
