    I am not a U.S. citizen. Like any other person in the world, I can only observe that the US is committing war crimes and trampling on international law. So am I supposed to naively assume that all Americans are monsters? To put it another way: If that’s not the case, why does your country act this way? Aren’t you a democracy in which the will of the people is represented by the government?

    I am well aware that this is not the case, but the responsibility for this lies just as much with US citizens as the responsibility for the war crimes your country is committing.

      These questions dont seem in earnest. Generalizing entire populations in any society is never going to bode well. Life is not divided into binaries and nice boxes. No one in the US or anywhere 100% agrees with another on everything. So I ask you, what do you do? How do we go from where we are now to the People’s Revolution? If you ask me, you don’t. Historically it has never happened. Sri Lanka was different. So in my opinion the only thing you can do is what you can do. There is no big revolution coming.
