    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.

      our fellow countrymen

      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.

          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.

          What “same attitude”?

          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.

              I keep asking what we’re supposed to do from the outside. I cannot walk over to the US’s house and into the US’s living room and turn off the music and tell them to go the fuck to sleep it is 2 am on a work day and they’re keeping the entire street awake. I’d probably be shot.

                You literally can. It’s called a plane ticket. Come over here and get shot immediately like you keep advocating I do. No? Didn’t think so.
