US citizen here. We hate it. Fuck Trump and his pedo defenders. Burn it all down and start over.
This implies the global south enjoyed imperialism before Trump. The global south should be far more against the US Empire in the top image.
You’re forgetting the large amount of Americans who also hate America
Even Antarctica!
Is Israel green in the bottom map or not? 🧐
I assume at this point, the world sees us as the 3rd picture.
Always as stupid Rednecks with too much money and a big Dunner-Kruger Syndrom.
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.
Is that Oracle’s Larry Ellison on the right?
fuck it do look like him tho 🤣
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?
He’s not asking for your pity, or mine. He’s explaining why he and many other Americans are feeling helpless and are finding it difficult to mount a resistance, eventhough they know they should.
Interstingly sanctions had this same effect on the Iranian middle class. No way to revolt and replace thengovernment when your rent is double your income.
Ahh yes. Quantification of suffering to dismiss it as invalid. The ol’ .ml classic.
You people are obsessed
“when we weren’t looking” sounds like a cop out
We were looking, just not there. There was literally no preamble to this war, Iran wasn’t even in the news.
Not like every other administration was harassing them and trying to goad them into war.
What do you mean anymore? Have a look at Wikipedia. They are the asshole neighbours for many decades.

Russians be like: wow that never happened and here we go again…
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.
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.
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.
You say this like it was any better before Trump
Most of the people commenting here were probably children before trump. What did you want the children to do?
the us has been doing shit like this for decades. trump simply just made it obvious.
It was more important to teach the democrats a lesson than stop literal fascism for a non-zero portion of us, unfortunately.
For the democrats, it was more important to continue literal fascism and teach the left a lesson than to win.
The Democrats were literal fascism, genocide apologist
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.
“the americans can be relied upon to do the right thing, once all other options have been exhausted” --paraphrasing winston churchill
I think we’ve stopped at the “wrong things” part and just refuse to move on.
I knew it. I’m surrounded by assholes!
Major Asshole!
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.
Government and people are tightly linked. Governments tend not to stray too far from what their people believe, at least openly, since they want to keep power, and their heads. The fact that the US is now openly doing what its been doing for decades behind closed doors and pretending not to do, means that they at the very least hold the belief that a large portion of the population is willing, open to, and/or indifferent to their actions, finally. Makes sense though, since most US americans are disgusting, racist, fascist, self-centred isolationist rubbish, and have been for a long time. The self aware ones, or those who become self-aware after invading some far off country and realising that they are in fact, the baddies (only after torching a village or tormenting the local populace) are few and far between.
I saw a video recently of a US soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan, Id say sometime in the 2000s (2000-2010), complaining that they’re not allowed to retaliate (shoot is actually the word he used) children who it seens regularly threw rocks at their vehicles along that particular stretch of road, and he didnt seem to realise that he was the invader, nor that those are fucking kids and what he was saying was abnormal and sick…
I KNEW IT. I’M SURROUNDED BY ASSHOLES!
SUCK SUCK SUCK SUCK
Yo
Don’t need ya drugs, and we don’t ? ya grandma
