    The protests last year were some of the largest in US history

    Yeah, I dunno if marching dressed as inflatable Pokémons did anything. In fact, I know it had an absolute zero effect, things only got worse, way worse. What was the point of that?

    “B-b-buT tHeY wErE bIgGeSt eVeR”.

    Sure, pat yourself on the back, but your country is still run by a pedophile war criminal.

    It still blows my mind, what kind of fucked up people elect such a person as a President… Fyi, Germans never elected Hitler, but you did! And now the world, suffering at the hands of your elected “President” are supposed to feel sorry for you?

    “B-b-buT i DiDnT vOtE fOr HiM” is what your gonna tell me, aren’t you?

    It took a decade for the Civil Rights protests to get any real change to happen

    Isn’t that just proof that your “protests” are useless?

    As recently as September 2025, Nepalese people overthrew their corrupt government in just 48 hours.

    Your average person - even in Europe - won’t go that far unless pushed.

    Bulgaria (Europe) changed their government in December 2025, because they were corrupt fucks, and people didn’t need to be pushed nowhere near as far, no one got abducted or shot dead in the face. This happened just over a month ago. Get your facts straight. I guess you didn’t know about that, because it doesn’t get nowhere near as fucked up as in your shithole, because we don’t let it.

    You see, in Europe, we learned about how fucked up Nazis were and how fucked up fascism is and we have way more checks and balances in place to keep the government from doing whatever the fuck they want.

    There isn’t a single country in the EU where a president or prime minister would have the power on their own to just decide and bomb fishermen, or abduct a leader of another country, or fuck children and get away with this. What is happening in the USA is beyond fucked up, and your response so far was to dress up as inflatable Pokémons.

    It took a white American citizen getting shot in the face, for people to start taking this seriously…

    Over 60% of history taught in the USA is American history, yet the country is not even 250 years old. In the USA, all you learn is your propaganda called “America the greatest”.

    No wonder fascists had such an easy way to rise to power.

    Sure, it’s not perfect in the EU, but what is happening in the USA is whole magnitudes worse.

    But you keep patting yourself on the back for marching in Pokémon costumes, that surely made the government think twice. That is, think twice whether to make a video of Trump pissing or shitting on the protesters.

    Seriously, I have no words how fucked up the USA is, and you clearly can’t the forest for the trees.

    Europeans were perfectly fine with Nazi fascism right up until it was knocking down their door.

    “B-b-buT wHaT aBoUt EU nAZiS.”

    GTFO with your aboutism.

    Go ahead, keep acting like the USA is the greatest of all. That’s what got you fucked in the first place.

      Pretending that Nepalese youth didn’t spend years organizing which culminated in that 48-hour successful revolution diminishes the otherwise-valid points you’re making here.

        How many years did Americunts had to prepare? Haven’t they been preparing their whole lives to overthrow a tyrannical government?

          Well we had a decent start going until COINTELPRO.

          But anyway that’s not really my point. Americans should be doing more, I agree with you there. My point is that it’s disingenuous to present the Nepalese revolution as just suddenly happening within 48 hours because people got fed up.
