Mali and Burkina Faso banned Americans a few days ago. What with Maduro's kidnapping, it looks like that decision payed off in more ways than they might have anticipated!

Better than nothing and much better than the opposite, but that's fair.

It's literally nothing, and Americans thinking dumping their feeling into the cyber abyss is "doing something" is a huge part of the problem.

You're too negative. You have a country full of people who think it's okay to carpet bomb and pillage foreign nations because MURRICAFUCKYEAH, anyone who has fought against the indoctrination and thought just enough not to go straight to Hell has certainly done... something. Can't expect everyone to go full John Brown.

You're right. My congratulations to the few Americans that somehow manage to figure out that you're not the inherent heroes you've been raised to believe you are. I guess that is something, sad as it may be.

Yeah but don't let them weasel out of this shit again. Americans breaking their conditioning is good, but the vast VAST majority of american leftists will think thats good enough and stop. They love to operate on their little feelys and feel goods as if akin to action.

This shows they haven't really broken the conditioning that much.

Good job recognizing you are fucking evil, now what actions will you take besides voting for a fucking democrat?
