"AND YOU DESERVE IT THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT YOU DID THIS YOU WANTED THIS YOU'RE ALL THE SAME I HOPE YOU SUFFER YOU MADE THIS HAPPEN WHY AREN'T YOU DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT"
Someone from Lemmy, probably
"If this was in my country, I'd be goddamn John Wick right now!"
The concept/nation, the people in power, or every citizen regardless of circumstance?
America is not a nation. There are indigenous nations, but the idea of an "American nation" is a fiction to justify the ongoing process of settler-colonialism.
fwiw: the ones that survived and are still coherent/organized enough to still be considered a nation represent a cultural/social/linguistic minority in north & central america -- an overwhelming majority no longer have a nation to claim as their own and the trend becomes stronger the further away from the anglosphere you get.
in other words: either the united states or mexico are closest thing they can identify with as part of a nation and this phenomenon is most prevalent in the american southwest and northern mexico -- geographically & broadly between salt lake city and mexico city.
and it'll forever be odd to me that the worst colonial settler examples that the world had seen thus far in the anglosphere resulted in the most intact and cohesive indigenous nations that are still in existence today while the relatively tame -- but still outrageously inhumane -- settler colonialism practiced in the rest of the latin america has relatively few such indigenous nations still going today.
First peoples of Canada
the indigenous people of canada probably have it the best out of everyone else and i suspect that carney is going to take away their resources.
Turns out, the rest of the world is not sympathetic towards yankees when their chickens come home to roost.
And then when you ask them what we should be doing they get mad and call you stupid.
and they would be right.
But no need to do something.
On the contrary, glad to see them go down the shitter.
Given how many countries the US has victimized, it's at least a little comforting to know they're getting some of it turned back on them.
They had a chance to make things better, unlike so many other countries. They had it good for decades, only to blow it all up for some narcissistic, billionaire pedophile. Fuck em.
The libs were perfectly happy to live in their american bubble of 'democracy' getting the crumbs of the empire's looting and murdering.
As long as it happened far away they could turn a blind eye.
