What are YOU doing that's useful? Besides blustering on the internet that is.

But I'm open to suggestions. Are their "missions" to save Amer8cans from themselves? Maybe some sad commercials showing masses of dumbfuck Americans all pointing blamesticks at each other like a spiderman meme, asking for donations?

Calling for action. Could also be directed to Europeans btw, with obesity and fascism also growing hand in hand there.

When European leaders start threatening my country I will do that. Until then this sounds like fictional whataboutism.

I meant that Europe is moving in the same direction as the US is, with fascism on the rise again. European leaders are now merely reacting to what the US leaders are doing in terms of tariffs, which will increase costs and inflation for both the internal markets.

When you see your country as more important than (people in) other countries in the rest of the world, that's just short-sighted and unjustified.

I'm confused. Are we still talking about the USA threatening Canada, Panama, and Greenland? And your response is "other countries might do that someday"?
