I'm interested to hear from people around the world on a few subjects. Answer as many questions as you like.

  1. What country are you from?

  2. In general, what do you think of the USA?

  3. Has this viewpoint changed over the last few years?

  4. On a global scale, how you think the actions of the USA will play out over the next few years.

  5. How has the US actions affected you personally this last year?

  6. Anything else you want to add.

Yank here. I would rebut by pointing out that Canada has bloodied its hands on Native Canadians and participated in American imperialism as a toady. But honestly? It would nakedly be the pot calling the kettle black. And the kettle's at least started scrubbing off the char.

I plan to keep fighting my government, any way I can. But I feel so isolated and desperately outmanned and outgunned. Other nations that have successfully overthrown their oppressors didn't have to battle the surveillance and military industrial complex up close and in its own house. As awful as our abusers-in-chief have been to the world, people tend to forget that the first ones they every abused were us. It's the difference between growing up next door to the abusive psychotic gun-waving alcoholic father and being their child. He doesn't even have to get off the couch to beat us.

It feels like suicide to fight back, but the few of us who have humanity left are doing it anyway, even though we know that we don't have a chance. Not unless a chunk of our military decides to exercise an iota of independent thought and remember that part of their oath and a heap of our national myth was meant to give them permission to shoot the President himself if it came down to it.

Please, save us. I'm begging you, save us however you can. We're already suffering. It's going to get worse no matter what we do at this point, so fight them while we have time. Please.

Yes, the racism in Canada is still all too obvious and certainly pervasive. We up here have just not been given the OK to exercise it openly like you guys down there.

Please, save us. I’m begging you, save us however you can. We’re already suffering. It’s going to get worse no matter what we do at this point, so fight them while we have time. Please.

I would say the only thing that will stop it is mass non-cooperation. Those in power still need (at least for now) workers to run their shit, and consumers to buy their shit. Join the general strike, prepare for many more. Talk to neighbors, friends, family. Organize, learn simple sabotage.

The people, united, will never be defeated. The machine will grind to a stop when enough people say ENOUGH! and stop funding and participating in it.
