  • i mean, it’s an article on america. there’s other articles about other countries. i think people like to see that specifically americans are facing consequences for global actions taken by the us president, which makes this one rise to the top over any other specific country’s similar articles.

    just kinda boring to see this take on every post about america facing the consequences of their actions these days. like, maybe you could link to an article focusing on the global systemic impact, and we can have that discussion. instead it’s like everything that points out that americans are unhappy has this constant comment section being like “HOLY SHIT AMERICANS ONLY THINK ABOUT THEMSELVES”. which is totally understandable, but like, what do you expect to happen? there’s an impeachment and JD vance takes over and instantly things are solved? or do you expect a significant margin of the population of the continental united states to rise up and storm the capitol in a way that’s somehow more cohesive and effective than the last time there was a violent coup attempt at the US capitol?

    inb4 something something the french protest and everyone makes fun of them, and “NO BUT I EXPECT YOU TO DO MORE THAN THIS PEACEFUL PROTEST BULLSHIT”
