That like 3 billionaires directly control all media in my country? That I was never in possession of any political leverage to oppose the oil/pharma/tech/etc… lobbies? That it’s completely impossible for me to find any suitable representation in a two party system that has been entrenched for 200+ years? That my politicians have been steadily captured by domestic and foreign money, ruled as “free speech” by a group of robed geriatrics who have held their lifetime seats since before I was old enough to form a political thought?
Unless you’re going to sell me some plausible counter history where the entire system was upended, where the fuck does any American’s personal “responsibility” come into play? Telling me I should have saved the world by voting better is as big a lie as telling end consumers to save the ecosystem by recycling.
Americans need to take responsibility for the state their country is in, and not find excuses or scapegoats to blame.
Lol wtf is my “responsibility” here?
