   If Americans had the ability to change our government simply by "trying harder", it would have been done already. We would all have healthcare & food to eat at the very least.

   That's not how this goddamn works, & it's weird seeing cozy liberals in other countries talking like it is.

   For one, y'all are doing genocides too. Looking at you, Canada. You need to get right with your indigenous population, because your governments & your "law enforcement" are still perpetuating a genocide.

     It's not so fucking easy to stop violent oppression. It doesn't work to just say "stop doing this to us".

     We're fucking working on the resistance. We're working on what we can do to end cycles of violence.

     Stop hating people for not being able to immediately & unilaterally end oppression. That's not how any of this fucking works.

     I think the person responding angrily to this a) only read the first post & b) assumed that when I said we couldn't win by trying harder that I was saying we shouldn't try.

     No, I'm talking about timelines & I'm talking about *methods*. A lot of the people saying angry things about Americans right now end up coming back to wanting us to vote out oppression or protest until it goes away, neither of which works, no matter how hard we try.

     The things we actually need to do to put a stop to the US's reign of terror are not polite, nice, or safe things, & I suspect a lot of the foreign liberals criticizing us for our supposed "inaction", would not actually support us doing the things it would take to make lasting change.
