I love how this blames a group of people for inaction while also itself being another form of inaction.
Embargo the shit out of us, stop buying our gas and oil, pirate our movies and software.
We want them out of power too, but most of us are so vulnerable to job loss, home loss, healthcare loss and food instability that there isn’t much we can do until we are properly organized across 50 states, 100 million people spread across 3.12million square miles (8,081,000 million square km). That’s the scale of the situation.
Also we know national politics aren’t democratic. The senate is intentionally disproportionate representation, but the house isn’t really any better, because the minimum is 1 representatives per state, even when one of the states has 1.5% of the population of another. So Wyoming has 1 rep per 500,000 people, while California has 1 rep per 750,000 people. And in the senate it’s roughly one senator for 250,000 in WY and 1 for 19,000,000 in CA. That means people in densely populated cities (who tend to be higher educated left leaning voters) are way under represented.
Do you seriously believe that most people outside the U.S. aren’t aware that the U.S. is, by virtue of its Constitution alone, merely a sham democracy? That they don’t know the U.S. has actually been an oligarchy for a long time? Or do you really believe that ordinary people in other countries aren’t boycotting U.S. products and urging their governments to do the same? And the most important question: Do you seriously believe that any other country of the world would or could come to America’s rescue?
If you think all the countries of the world can’t do anything, what do you expect your average Joe in America to be able to do? What are you, and your country, specifically doing?
Amerikans are complicit entirely, making excuses and pushing the blame on others while doing the exact same thing you did last week while being defensive is how we got here. Take action. Get involved, burn something down, manipulate your taxes, pirate your subscriptions, resist in any way you can.

You’ll find the answers to most of your questions in this thread.
Fuck that.
