Maybe I’ll get flamed for this, but yes, target random Americans for their government’s behavior is normal and effective, depending on where you are.
The idea that protest can succeed without causing trouble for someone is naive.
Yeah, if I went to Afghanistan in 2003 i’d expect to be targeted as an American, regardless of my personal opinions.
And so if I were personally invested in visiting somewhere, but found out it’s dangerous for Americans, that would definitely impact my opinion of the current leadership and what I’m going to do about it.
People tend not to actually change unless there’s a strong motivation. Not being able to go places you want to go, own things you want to own safely, or simply exist without being hated are some of the oldest reasons why a populace might rise up against their government
