    Already do. I get reminded everyday that my country is super evil but there’s not much I can do about it aside from voting which from what I understand this sublemmy doesn’t believe will do anything. So if that’s the case, guess I’m just fucked anyway? No matter what I do, my country will bomb other countries to the ground and its my fault??

      Do you actually care, that your labour and tax are used to commit the gravest horrors onto other people, or do you just pretend to care for virtue signaling? If it’s the former then there is much more you can do than vote every few years.

      Yup. Keep going to work to fund atrocities domestically and overseas. When you’re not doing that, show up at a demonstration. But don’t ever demonstrate violently like the French or anything. That’s bad, mkay?

          If every American did just a bit of that simultaneously, nobody would be worrying about either. They’d be worrying about their country and it’s consequences to the globe. Something Americans are incapable of. No mass unrest, no unrest to register. The job market is already upsidedown, again, under trump, again. What’s the worst in tipping the scale over and bouncing off of rock bottom? It’s what the world needs. It’s what you need. It’s what I need. China did it. The French still do it. Americans have lived catered to buy slaves and slave labor since this countries inception, ain’t nobody willing to get uncomfortable even in the face of oppressive regime. So, yes. Get into unsecured debt. Try out homelessness while you protest in the streets. Nobody in their right minds goes to work, protest, then work again. Fucking commit or be honest that your so called values are hollow virtue signaling. Come on in, the waters fine.
