The Americans get very upset when you point out what theyre doing isnt enough. Its like the myth of American exceptionalism will magically protect them from reality.
I get it because I used to be that way. I've hand-waved a lot in my life because I naively felt the swinging pendulum would balance things. I believed shit like good always prevails, taking the high-road will pay off, etc.
But as I dug into it more and learned more and saw more, it is undeniable what is actually happening. We've been on a bad path for a long, long time and the slow frog boil has duped many.
And because things are so far gone at this point, what used to appear to work won't anymore. What comforts and conveniences some of us used to be able to somewhat hide behind no longer exists.
Sadly, I'm not sure a critical mass of people are ready to face and accept this reality. I'll be honest, part of me barely is, but most of me knows the truth. I also know my line of work gives me the luxury of being able to care and take a step back sometimes - not everyone has that and it is purposely manufactured to be that way.
Im glad to hear this, honestly. I think people are taking it personally when people from other countries point it out but it isnt out of malice. We're concerned for you and your country and instead of listening the overwhelming response has been to lash out. Its baffling from the outside perspective.
I think it's mostly just fear. Like a fear-induced executive disfunction.
Reminding them "you need to get out and do something, you need to get out and do something, you need to urge your representatives to get out and fucking do something" sounds to them a lot like you've just tied a bungee to their waste and are telling them to jump off the bridge. And they've been afraid of heights their whole life, you know?
Unironically, we have too many sugary treats here for a meaningful resistance to mount yet. American's lives need to get less comfortable before they (finally) start feeling like they have nothing to lose.
