You're right, we should have tried rolling over for the literal Nazis in less than a day like you effete, rich fucks in Western Europe. Pretty easy to say nothing short of a general strike is worth it when you live in the actual first world, have unions, and know that you won't get evicted and start starving after one month. But please, keep the chorus of unhelpful advice coming from the countries that haven't actually struggled against tyranny since they manned barricades with muskets. We'll try surrendering even faster next time in your honor.
Edit: meanwhile some of us are out here actually risking arrest and detention in a concentration camp in the swamp trying to do the right thing.
I live and Western Europe, and ai have to wholeheartedly agree with you. I think a lot of people here are really naive, thinking toppling the US government is something you do on a normal tuesday or sth like that. I really feel with Americans who want change, but can't do much because there are no social safety nets in the US.
Anyone who posts this nonsense on lemmy of all places has to be some kinda op lol
