You seem very passionate about directing others to put their lives and livelihoods on the line. Perhaps if you feel so strongly you should do something yourself?
I picked up on that. But my premise stands if they are that passionate that they feel the need to direct others to endanger themselves, then they should try to take some direct action.
Donating to political parties, lobbying for your interests etc.
But telling Americans to attack our fellow countrymen or endanger our livelihoods isn’t going to inspire us. Just like an American directing you to attack yours would likely not work either.
As an American we fucked up and we shouldn’t require other countries to step up for us. We should do it ourselves. Sure it’s great to get support and all but we done fucked the pooch. It’s on us.
Mate. The mess in the US is affecting everyone. EVERYONE on Earth. So we reserve the right to tell you to fucking get your shit straightened out already because unfortunately we cannot call the police on you when you burn tires in your front yard and blast your music and fire your guns at bottles and bother your neighbours for sugar at 2 in the morning and demand that people pay a toll when they cross the bridge 5 streets over.

Judging from the fact that they say “over there”, they are of that rare type of people who don’t live in the US.

How do you expect us to influence US politics, directly at that, from the outside exactly?

Such kind words… guess you voted for him.
Facts might be uncomfortable and hard to swallow… but they are Americans.
We may not agree with them and abhor their policies but they are our fellow countrymen. The rest of the world certainly sees them that way.
If you say so…
I’m supposed to donate to political parties of a country I don’t live in and am not a citizen of? What?
Perhaps you can adopt that same attitude when telling citizens of another country what to do?
But talk is cheap.

What “same attitude”?

So why aren’t you doing anything?
