As a part of this socially-asocial #Fediverse network I would like to talk to you on the other side of the ocean.

I rarely write posts in #English and I only have very few followers that are not #Czech or #Slovakian, so I'm not sure if this ever reaches my target audience of this post - the #USA citizens.

I am seriously concerned about what is happening lately with your country, who was supposed to be (or was acting like) a #democracy beacon. Yet, somehow you managed to reach the point, where #president, who most of you (!) elected is felon, who pardons criminals and does pretty rude political statements to country, who is losing lives of it's citizens only because they have chosen the path of being a #free nation.

As a person from central #EU I must admit this is seriously hard to watch as I expected your society to be #freedom and #liberty friendly and yet I see your president fueling #propaganda from #Russia and bullying president of #Ukraine.

I do not think this is a great way to #StopWar - this is a way to lose it. I'm hell-of-a-sure that befriending pretty much dictator of #Russia while his propagandists talks about nuking Washington is not a good idea, but somehow your president believes it is.

Please reconsider and act, this is not funny and people are dying. Your voices need to be heard or somehow you might find out you live in country you never imagined...

" #democracy beacon" Granted, there are parts of Europe where their propaganda worked better than in others for understandable reasons, but even so that's a uniquely delulu European view of the US to take. They were never a democracy beacon, they were just the biggest, most powerful democracy that kept you in happy vassalage as long as you served their interest. Not a bad deal if you were in Europe and paid the pizzo. But democracy beacon? lol.
in reply to Schmaker

Not all of Europe is a vassal to the same degree, but no need for copium. Obama told 🇩🇰 to spy on its 🇪🇺 allies and 🇩🇰 duly complied. It's just that Obama stuck to the bare minimum of segniorial obligations.
Let's not make this about this one president, the relationship has been one of vassalage for 80 years. Even spending more on defence came with a "but not on YOUR industry" disclaimer and a phone call to Warsaw, Berlin or Copenhagen to block funny 🇪🇺 autonomy ideas was usually enough.

That impression you have of #America was mostly #PR and #propaganda, since the beginning in 1789 - when they foisted on their states their second constitution.

If you read American #history, neither was it created to promote #democracy. It was created as an #aristocracy - where only white, male landowners could vote.

They chose independence from #Britain in opposition to the king's land decree of 1763, where any land farther west in the colonies had to be brought from the crown.

(It wasn't for reasons in their fairytales about democracy and "taxation without representation". They pay a level of magnitude more to #Washington now!)

Then it just expanded in worldwide influence you imply through cancerous growth of their #DeepState bureaucracy, fueled by a continent full of productive land and resources expropriated from the #American natives still living in the Stone Age then.

Read about the history of cronyism and graft there from the #Founders throughout, and you'll see that your view and expectations of #Americans and their gangsterment are unfounded.

An admirable trait and ideal of American culture more developed than elsewhere, is self-sufficiency.

It's time to return to that ideal in #Europe also! A start would be to eject from power the collectivists and socialists ruling from #Brussels #EU.💡

News companies distort / lie about the news. The reports of Trump, Vance, Zelensky show 5 minutes of meeting leaving another 44 minutes off. Very deceiving.

The US President is the only politician here that is voted for by the whole country! And the US citizens voted overwhelmingly for Donald J Trump. We want his Agenda. No more money or supplies for Ukraine. 3 years is too long.

in reply to Faelyn

I consider your answer - even though I do not like it - as valuable.

First of all the lie thingy - as a man, who was manipulated by media and algorithms for ages I mostly do background checks to find out why people do what they do, so I of course found the whole meeeting footage, that was of course freely available to watch. I so far got impression that this all was staged to bully him and it worked exactly as expected. Actually - I had this feeling even before this meeting was announced.

The later part - US president is voted by whole country - that's the worrisome. Yes, I can understand people do vote for somebody purely focused on national profit and consider this as a legitimate interest of voter. What I do not consider this way is, when the leader threatens neighbours about seizing lands, bans words or whatever stuff like this. Not only that - your president continously lie and to me - on the other side of the ocean - it seems like for some reason you don't care you guys are not allies, but threat to the world.

To be clear - I do not consider Biden to be so much better - he was just an really overaged man to do the job and unlike Trump - he was really slow to do any decisions. But to me it seems (not saying it must be true) that you're on the wrong road at this moment.

First of all - no more "niggers" and "retards" under my posts or I'll block you. I'm talking you with respect and expect you to do same. If you can't both give and take, we have nothing to talk about.

Now, for the Czech government - women in my country have hard times to do politics because our politicians made it so unfriendly to them, that they cannot actually combine politics and family. All because of having possibility of obstructions in parliament, that basically means that one speaker talks even for more than 10 hours and blocks ruling ability of the government. I consider this wrong, but we never reached agreement between oposition and government to have this fixed. Sadly.

Anyways, back to the US politics I'd definitely could not vote for someone who's acting as a threat even to their allies while constantly lying about pretty much everything.

How is this possible to you to be fine with it?

in reply to Schmaker

well it's a good thing you're not a US citizen. We (the US) gave that damn country (Ukraine) every weapon they have to fight with, along with 1/2 of a TRILLION tax payer dollars. You should be more worried about the EU and the loss of free speech happening in Germany, and the UK.. that's what's really scary. The EU hasn't spent NEARLY what the US has spent to defend their country. The US IS essentially NATO, there is no NATO without the US, take a look at the defense spending differences. We are the most free country on Earth. Worry about yourself.

Why because he's destroying democracy and freedom, Biden was incompetent bafoon pushing identity politics, LGBTQ+ agenda, cancel culture, and woke-ism to divide the people and demoralized our great nation. The reason you don't understand is because your not a fucking American. Yes we did give them almost all their war fighting weapons and Yes we did give them nearly 1/2 trillion of tax payer dollars.

I'd never say Biden was competent either. I'd say your country has better offers than Biden, who's not mentally competent and Trump, who's trying to act like some sort of mafia head.

@slamy We care about our country... For years USA was a beacon of freedom at the end of the tunnel of totality for our people.

And now, at least from informations we're getting, it looks like there's totality on the rise in US and Europe with it's "pesky" war against US's (former?) arch-enemy is supposed to be responsible for a big portion of problems in US.

So forgive us for asking what's going on there...

in reply to Schmaker

@eriner First off, no, most Americans did not elect Trump because most of them do not vote. And calling Trump a felon sets the tone for a conversation that turns into people calling each other retarded. Nelson Mandela was a convicted felon; it means nothing. Trump is lying when he says Ukraine started the war.

The US was the initial aggressor in this war and the only reason there is a war now. The US war on Russia through Ukraine is primarily aimed at looting and subjugating Europe, cutting them off from Russian energy to starve them to death. "It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal."

You should be angry with the country who blew up Nord Stream and you should want them out of Europe permanently, regardless of who the actor playing the President is.

Somehow I like your points in this comment, I'd like to discuss them further, if you don't mind.

And calling Trump a felon sets the tone for a conversation that turns into people calling each other retarded.


I can understand why people are offended by this, got your point. Yet I find hard to believe people in America did not found anybody better than this as - and here you might disagree with me, I'm not sure - Trump has not much in common with Mandela except for being accused of crime 😀

The US was the initial aggressor in this war and the only reason there is a war now.


Can you elaborate this a little more? I'm interested in your point of view as rest of this paragraph quite makes sense, only the aggressor thingy does not seem to make sense to me.

You should be angry with the country who blew up Nord Stream


Someone may be, but I'm personally grateful to whoever done that. EU decided to take their good old superslow approach to getting away from Russian fossil energy and funding the killing of Ukrainians is not a good way to help defending country in this war.

Unlike lot of people I do not consider this an American proxy war, instead I consider this war a way free countries try to tell Russia "no, you can't do what you want to, we arent your satellites anymore"

Democracy is about letting black and brown people tell you how to live


No, democracy - in the western point of view - means every single person should have same rights. Actually - I have the feeling that for some reason both people of color and whities confused it in USA. Being criminal should have same consequences for black or white, rich or poor and even though society is not really always successful in it, it should keep on trying.

Democracy is about funding infinite proxy wars


If you talk about Ukraine war, then you propably should look at what Budapest memorandum was supposed to mean.

Democracy is about having zero say unless it's about what certain people and special interest groups want


If Americans made it this far, then I pretty much understand the hatred it caused. Care to elaborate?

Wasn't Hunter Biden pardoned by Joseph Biden by the way?


I'm very far to defend Biden's moves. This shall never happen.

you were sending people straight to the meat grinder


No, we didn't - Russians did. Feel free to watch what you are trying to legitimate.

When people decide that eroding a nation with the freedoms they are afforded is their primary usage of those freedoms (...)


Let's try - does that mean that capitol attackers should be considered subhuman?

I don't care. Do you not realize, these are not my people, they would not do the same for me, I do not care about them. I care about the welfare of my friends and family here.


Even though I understand this, your country (not you personally) somehow told Ukraine, that they will be safe if they give up their nukes. And lies are bad, aren't they?

We haven't made it "far." We have regressed due to the inorganic social pressure these subhumans have created, and now we have teachers in schools trying to fuck children up and make them a carbon copy of a perfect, dopamine obsessive state-loving dog. That or make them a faggot. Same thing, really.


Please do not use word subhumans under my thread, thank you. How do the teachers do this?

So you're bragging about people dying either way after the fact that you were just crying about it. Good look for you, really sold me.


Not really .. Russians wanted to make these horrible crimes from the linked video all over Ukraine. We gave them weapons to defend themselves and somehow they used it to have like 70% of their country relatively safe from Putlers army. It's not enough though and I'll support anybody who will push nations to do more for them.

Yeah, that's exactly why what I'm asking you.

Good to see you don't care about people dying though.


I do. I even hard times seeing young Russians die there - yet, they are the bad guys there who did a lot of criminal shit, so every single weapon given Ukrainians to defend themselves is thing I like.

In the past times people fought for their freedoms numerous of times and words rarely helped.

That has never been democracy ever since it was conceived. There will always be inequality in a system that accepts the tyranny of the majority

@jeffcliff @IlDuWuce @ThePoastmasterGeneral @KingOfWhiteAmerica to be fair, both theists and atheists are somewhat arrogant about the unknown, but at least with theists they mean well while atheists are professional nihilists and pessimists.

@slamy
still wrong

politicians' blabbing and posturing does not constitute a threat

the word "threat" in a headline does not constitute an actual threat.

When the United States wants to threaten another nation, it stations one of its aircraft carriers and associated battle group off of their coast, and conducts military exercises designed to probe their defensive posture. Or some such similar deployment of actual military forces.

in reply to Schmaker

@slamy
nobody important was laughing. All insiders knew the threat was real, which is why they spent a more than a decade deliberately provoking Putin. Putin finally found himself in a circumstance where he was forced to cooperate in the charade.

Ukraine is the victim in a three way tug-of-war between the U.S., EU/NATO, and Russia. They were always, always, always destined to be used up and discarded, after being rubble-ized.
