Its your fucking country, how about you do something about it?
Re: World Cup
There is no guarantee your fans/teams will be able to enter the US. There is no guarantee your fans/teams will be able to return home. Don’t come to the US.
Read the 2nd amendment
Use it
I mean why the fuck is it there anyway they’ve literally spent decades shitting on the sport.
(Yesyes i know, fifa is a corrupt pos but honestly how the fuck this was even floated as an idea is beyond me)
Major League Soccer has been gaining traction for a few years now, teams getting big and rich enough to buy Messi for $150M for 2.5 years, Apple bought the US MLS distribution rights for $2.5B over 10 years, a lot of people stand to make a lot of money. A whole new untapped market for fifa and the teams and advertisers and every company who advertises.
If the US arrests a bunch of our football hooligans and throws them into a cage, good riddance.
It’s more the teams that would be in danger. Especially from any South American countries.
Nobody is forcing them to go there.
Maybe they need them to show them how to riot. Fresh blood and all that
The US isn’t the way it is because of Trump, but Trump is the way he is because of the US.
Bit of column A, bit of column B.
Trump is not a uniquely American invention and he’s not the first bumbling dictator to gain power through populist bigotry.
However, there is a significant feedback loop with America outright rewarding craven Nazis, handing them “success” and then allowing them to continue perpetuating and emboldening people just like them.
Stop being lazy assholes and work on fixing your problems yourselves.
The tools of geopolitics aren’t all that granular. The only thing an outside country can do is make your cities like the cities of Germany at the end of WWII, or like Gaza is today. If you’re asking for other countries to fix your problems for you, that is the result.
Banning the US from the Olympics, World Cup or whatever doesn’t change anything, and it probably would just be more fodder for your fascist propaganda.
Ending trade with the US? Yeah that’s happening, but it won’t be something that’ll happen tomorrow. This is something that will happen over the next decade. You might even have a Democrat as President when things get really bad because of the shit Trump is doing today. And then you’ll vote in another fascist. The stupidity of Americans has become incredibly predictable. Which is why no one can trust you long term.
You’re just stupid, and there’s no fixing stupid. And you have nukes. You’re the guy that gave a monkey an uzi, and then wants someone else to deal with it. Nah, we’re just going to stay away from both the monkey with the uzi and we’re also going to stay away from the idiots that gave an uzi to a fucking monkey. You go take the uzi away from the monkey, you’re the one that gave it to him.
Yes, writing off the nation where everyone is an idiot, that’s armed with nuclear weapons, and has expansionist ideals and deciding to just leave them to their own devices because pushing back is possibly difficult or risky will work out great.
It should only be a problem is you’re a nation in the western hemisphere without nuclear weapons, so I’m sure it’s fine. Mexicans, greenlanders and Canadians aren’t worth causing a fuss over, and I’m sure they’ll stop there. Just ask Poland.
You’re assuming that a whole bunch of countries aren’t busy acquiring nuclear weapons right now. So when you’re surrounded by countries with nukes pointed at you because you elected a child molester that destroyed all of your alliances, will you then admit that America is a stupid country?
The US invading Canada would be the end of the US. Yeah the American military is good at invading countries. Occupations, not so much. But unlike other failed occupations where you had an ocean in between you and the other country and you could just pack up and go home, there would be no going home from an invasion of Canada. Again something stupid that only an American would think is a good idea.
Y’all get emotional and want to do stupid things for the sake of your pride. Worrying about pride while you have a goddamn child molester as a President. Stupid people.
Why are you mad at me? I’m not the one saying we should do those things, nor did I vote for him or support him. I’ve done damned near everything an individual can do.
Americans aren’t a monolith. Some of us are terrified of the things that are happening and want them to stop. You’re mad at the people who want it to stop and are desperately saying “we might not be able to stop this, please help”.
You’re arguing that people you think are stupid wouldn’t do something you think is stupid. Think about that for a minute.
America’s ability to occupy is more complicated than you think. We regularly set unattainable objectives, but it’s not like we were forced out of Iraq or Afghanistan.
An invasion of Canada would definitely go poorly, but do you think it would go worse for Canadians or Americans?
Our invasion of Afghanistan lasted 20 years and cost us around 2,000 lives. It cost the Afghans more than 100,000. In excess of a million if you count non-direct deaths.
Failed occupations because they didn’t complete their objectives, not because of an ineffective military presence.
I have no idea if we’d succeed or not in an annexation of Canada, and it doesn’t matter. What matters is that optimistically millions of people would die, and they would be disproportionately Canadian civilians.You’re assuming that a whole bunch of countries aren’t busy acquiring nuclear weapons right now.
I make no such assumption. The reality is it takes time to actually produce them. It can take years to build the equipment needed to start production on the materials. A nuke in 4 years isn’t a deterrent to an attack in less than 3.
Y’all get emotional and want to do stupid things for the sake of your pride. Worrying about pride while you have a goddamn child molester as a President. Stupid people.
What are you even talking about here? Do you think my comment was in someway a statement of pride? You’re mad at the people who are saying they need help because they don’t know if they can stop them from hurting you.
They’re threatening me with economic hardship, my neighbors with deportation to a random country, and my friends with erasure. They’re threatening you with starvation, bombing, death by infection, and being arbitrarily shot because your car was a convenient target.It’s our problem, but that doesn’t mean it won’t hurt you.
Just because it’s your problem doesn’t mean the rest of the world won’t hurt you. Don’t whine to me about how you didn’t support Trump and do that bullshit American superiority thing where you imply threats to everyone else to show dominance. That’s the big reason you’re as fucked up as you are right now.
Understand the reality of the situation you’re in. Stop thinking you’re superior to every country in the world and think the world has to convince you to stop being bad guys with bullshit around sporting events or whatever. Start understanding we are heading to the point where what may happen is someone from another country might kill you for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It doesn’t matter that you didn’t support Trump or whatever excuse you want to make. You may end up dead and considered by history as just another body in an evil country that destroyed itself for stupid reasons.
I’m starting to hate Americans for just sitting around and thinking this shit is a joke or whining about democrats or thinking about anything else other than the evil you’re all bringing to the world with your collective ignorance, arrogance, greed, and hatred. Will you still not take it seriously when you’re driving across a bridge that the US military uses and you see a drone coming to take out the bridge you’re on? Are you going to explain to the drone, you didn’t support Trump? Complain about the democrats for the situation you’re in?
Stop being stupid. All of your bullshit excuses don’t matter anymore.
You are one dense person. You’re literally asking me to understand what I said to you.
What part of anything I said to you implies I’m not taking it seriously? That I don’t understand the dangerous path we’re on?
You’re saying it’s an American problem, so we should fix it ourselves. I’m saying that we quite likely don’t have the ability to hurt the people in power meaningfully before they escalate things further.
Saying you should stop giving us money because it’s one of the only things that might hurt them or get people desperate enough to depose them before they start a war with Canada or Denmark isn’t failing to take it seriously or not understand it.
I’m truly confused how you’re ending up in that place.Are you going to explain to the drone, you didn’t support Trump? Complain about the democrats for the situation you’re in? Stop being stupid. All of your bullshit excuses don’t matter anymore.
Are you just using me as a punching bag because you’re mad at Americans as a whole?
I wish we could just stay away, but if you’re a Greenlander, that’s already not an option, and if you’re Canadian, that may not do it either.
Solution might be just like Hitler’s Germany. We will need the Chinese to replace the Soviet Russians.
I would never give a monkey an uzi, but my neighbors believed it was an awesome idea. The neighbors far across the pond think we’re all the same over here and that I’m to blame for the monkey having an uzi. So idk… I just pray we all survive this without everyone picking up an uzi.
I just pray we all survive this without everyone picking up an uzi.
Thoughts and prayers eh?
nobody needs a shitraeli gun
Their point wasn’t that anybody needed an Uzi.
I got that, you didn’t get mine obviously
“Change comes from within.” - Ghandi or something IDK
“move the world cup? corruption is what turns me on” - fifa
Bulldoze the white house, build the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial World Peace Fütball Colosseum.
Honestly, an empty stretch of grass would do a better job of it all
It’s really unusual how everybody seems to talk as if the World Cup is only taking place in the US this year. It’s in Canada and Mexico too. Just shift the matches so they’re mostly / all in Canada and Mexico.
I don’t follow football so I didn’t know this and it cracks me up. Japan and South Korea also did the World Cup together and it made sense because of their geographical circumstances. The USofA not being able to host on their own is comical (and that’s on top of the question of who tf even wants to go there right now).
Edit: regarding the 2002 WC, Wikipedia says: “FIFA has said that co-hosting is not likely to happen again, and in 2004 officially stated that its statutes did not allow co-hosting bids.[7][8] This policy has since been overturned as the 2026 World Cup will be hosted jointly by the United States, Mexico, and Canada.” Excellent show, lads.
and in 2004 officially stated that its statutes did not allow co-hosting bids. This policy has since been overturned as the 2026 World Cup will be hosted jointly by the United States, Mexico, and Canada.” Excellent show, lads.
Just tells you that the US is behind schedule and that Mexico and Canada should have been conquered by now. Another thing Russia spoiled with their war in Ukraine. /s
It’s not that the USA can’t host its own. It has already done that before. It’s more that multi-country things are apparently in favour at FIFA right now, for some reason.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they threatened to move it though. They want some of that sweet sweet corruption money!
Whenever the economy of the United States is starting to go down, the US starts a war somewhere. During the war, someone has to sell weapons to them, and after the war, someone has to rebuild the country (and guess who decides which construction companies and from where get to do that). While the clock of those countries goes back a few decades, the industry in the US gets revitalized.
Now that the problem is internal, the US wants the rest of the world to be destroyed in order to put the United States back on its feet.
Frankly, I would say the better path is the one that’s already happening. The European Union, after more than a quarter century negotiating with the countries of South America (Mercosur) finally agreed to compromise. Canada signed a “no tariffs” agreement with China. NATO is sending troops to Greenland, not many, just enough that if the United States attacks, it will be immediately in war with every country with an army there.
The world is moving forward, as it happens when one side pushes too much. As Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney said while talking about the trade deal with China:
“We take the world as it is, not as we wish it to be.”
(Apologies for the long rant.)
ur smart thx u
Leaving us with some hope
This unfortunately is not a joke, I endorse this.
You ain’t alone
I keep thinking how you would have never expected this sort of thing from nearly any American even a couple decades ago. It feels like a sign of the times.
Yea probably not, but honestly who gives a rats ass about all these circuses when you can’t afford food or a home
Sure but please select electable representatives in the Democrat party and stop daydreaming about a communist revolution. You have midterms coming up and democracy in USA still exists as far as I know.
As for political humor

Create the strongest military in the world by far

“Oh help us, we have fallen and we cannot get up”
Sure, we’ll get right on that.

Dear US,
You got the world in this mess. You voted a criminal pedophile dictator into office, twice.
Clean up your shit yourselves. It’s what your precious second amendment is for, right?
Honestly after decades of ego and exceptionalism, this demand that other people fix issues they’ve caused themselves is pretty on-brand for the US
Manifested a destiny not to their liking and suddenly it is other people’s responsibility.
Yea those of us that tried kind of figured our allies would use some of that fucking intelligence they have been giving our country to fuck those of us that are trying over to maybe, i don’t fucking know, tell the world how they stole the election because they admitted it right on fucking TV!
Right after they fucking declared war on us on fucking TV!
But your fucking countries are in on it, too. Just you fucking wait and see. The rich that lead you sold you out too and are just waiting to cash in on you. If you let them do it to your greatest ally, you’re fucked.
Sleep well.
Spoke like a true murican.
You’re on point though, which means that because we have problems of our own, in part caused by you, we’ll just let the Great US of A solve its own shit while we’re busy solving ours.
Issues they caused themselves that we warned them about for decades, even
The most aggravating thing is they’ve polarised themselves into thinking any outside force refusing to “fix it” is being sanctimonious.
Nah fam. this is something you’ve built from the ground up and entrenched into your culture, so you have to fix it. Outside forces imposing will end up with another iraq. (Or afghanistan. Or libya. Or Iran. ). Hell, even Germany was headed towards burying its cat turds until niemoller & co grassrooted the idea of collective guilt to come to terms with their crimes.
It’s gotta come from inside the house.
True, but it’s time to tell them to fuck off.
There’s nothing more American.
Then creating a mess, and expecting someone else to clean it up.
Maybe an immigrant cleaner that they can threaten with ICE deportation to keep in check. Very on-brand.
The second amendment is for school shootings and dick measuring contests
While I empathize with the sentiment, I’ve been listening to A People’s History of the United States lately. My takeaway so far is that change is only allowed to happen by the monied interests that control our government when it becomes in their financial interest for it to happen.
Guns won’t do it. Civilians 1) can’t effectively opposed state violence with the arms and organization they’re allowed, 2) our society is violent enough that killing civilians opposing the government will always be sanctioned by some.
French revolution entered chat
Russian revolution entered chat
Typically American to say “we can’t do anything, we’re helpless, yes we have guns but they aren’t good enough”. History shows it’s totally possible to rise up against tyrants, even when they seem invincible and untouchable, and force a radical change benefitting all. Luigi showed everyone it’s possible. Everyone says they support him but no one dares what he did. If no one does anything, everyone is just complying with a fascist dictatorship. So far only Republicans tried to change things, by attempting to shoot Trump and killing Charley Kirk. The rest just continues to use billionare’s products, making them even richer and giving them even more power. All while complaining they hate it and can’t do anything.
I find it incredibly disheartening that even on this platform, your comment got five downvotes so far.
I mean, I get it, not everyone voted for him. My comment is bold and harsh. But on the other hand, it’s not our responsibility to deal with their dictator. Of course I’m willing to help, and unlike the US without oil deals or for anything else. I’m willing to help and support refugees, people who are a victim of this regime. I can’t change their system or do anything else I’m afraid. But I also think them doing nothing but complain is also not going to change anything. They aren’t fighting for their rights in a democracy anymore, protesting isn’t going to cut it if the regime doesn’t care about the law and constitution, and doesn’t recognize the judicial system whenever they feel like it. My grandparents and great grandparents joined the resistance during the second World War. I’m afraid the US is running out of effective legal, democratic options soon to fight the current regime and dictator.
It’s not just that the people downvoting you are too comfortable to fight back, it’s that by the virtue of being born in positions of extreme privilege (by worldwide and historical standards) they literally cannot conceive of a world where rights are acquired and retained through illegal or violent means, although every civil rights movement had an illegal and most often violent component to it.
There’s a reason we’re seeing pictures of Black Panthers patrolling the streets. They remember and understand that rights aren’t handed out by benevolent elites, they are acquired through violence - either direct acts thereof, or the explicit threat of it.
I honestly don’t know what to do about any of that. The task of educating Americans on the history of effectively protesting against authoritarianism seems impossible. For all that some aspects of their society are hyper-violent, the vast majority of the anti-MAGA crowd is astonishingly uninformed on the importance of unauthorized resistance, and all the major newspapers and social media platforms are actively suppressing attempts to correct those misconceptions.
It’s fascinating. Trump is following in Hitler’s footsteps closer than anyone could have predicted, but one area where the present differs from the past is that in the years before Hitler became chancellor, Germany was rocked by frequent acts of deadly violence between Brownshirts and Communists. However I cannot think of a single analogue for the 21st century. Some people on here are talking of Civil War - clearly out of their ass, but I’m not sure that there is a line that Trump or Vance could yet cross that would trigger acts of blue-on-red violence more notable than an average British football match.
He stole that election, but sure.
Then take it back!
We’ll have to keep that in mind next time your countries are invaded after years of appeasement.
Do you mean like that time you sat on the sidelines for three years of war and startes to act only when it looked like Germany might win Mexico over to attack you guys and you guys got scared of submarine war?
Or do you mean that time you sat on side lines for two years and started to act only when Japan sank some of your ships?
Or are you talking about the Vietnam or Korean wars that went so swimmingly?
Or the dozen military conflict after those that has only succeeded making middle east more unstable?
Or the more recent where you kidnapped a president from a neighboring country?
Im not really sure if i should be thankfull for any of those.
Ratioed
Since the second World War, the US is the country who keeps invading other countries the most. Next time my country is being invaded, the chance it’s the US is the most likely. So please, keep it in mind before invading another country, and stop it from happening in the first place. And don’t act like the US helps when a country is in need. It only helps if it profits oil, minirals, shady trade deals, etc. or does a dick measuring contest with someone else.
And if you’re rusty on your history, let me remind you: only the US has invoked NATO article 5, no other country ever did. We don’t need the US help, we need the US not to become the issue.
*the western world power structure invaded those nations.
Why you people act like you didn’t get shit and it’s all the big bad usa would be amusing if it wasn’t so stupid.
I’ll prove how fucking stupid you are:
If the usa went around bullying everyone and never gave anything to our UN allies then that’s fucking funny… explain the global intelligence apparatus that the major western powers all chipped in for that allowed the usa to do what it did? How about all of those not USA troops all up in those same damn countries? Explain why the fuck that isn’t on your countries? Are your countries so weak they’ve been bullied into doing all of this? Explain how the fuck your tax dollars funding those same fucking wars isn’t also your faults? You think your own countries decisions didn’t bear the same rotten fruit?
Look in the fucking mirror.
to our UN allies
The UN isn’t your allies, it includes China and Russia. Clearly you don’t even know the difference between NATO and the UN.
that the major western powers all chipped in
You’re stronger against your enemies when you’re “friends” with the biggest bully. It’s just the choice which bully to befriend.
How about all of those not USA troops all up in those same damn countries
You mean all those troops forced into the wars the US started? Yeah well, that’s the downside of being friends with a bully.
Are your countries so weak they’ve been bullied into doing all of this?
Kinda, yeah. During the 30s and 40s we had the same issue as the US has today. When that was over, partly due to the US, they said they would protect us in the future in exchange of us not joining communism and helping them fight it. Every country wss exhausted after the war, so we didn’t have much choice. Also, Stalin wasn’t great either, so it was the best deal presented. Since then the US grew to become the biggest and strongest bully, capable to strike anything anywhere withing a few hours. And they used it to get rid of people and regimes unwilling to trade their souls to the US.
And we were stuck with the biggest asshole while being too weak to stand up against a bully. Until now, when war crimes and crimes against humanity went too far.
You think your own countries decisions didn’t bear the same rotten fruit?
Oh yes, I do think we are to blame for a lot too. But that doesn’t change the fact the US is far worse and a huge fucking problem right now. We know that issue, like I said, we had it in the 30s and 40s. But it doesn’t help when you say “but you’re bad too!” when someone calls out your country is run by elected fascists and should just fuck off and deal with it yourselves.
We, the rest of the world, are done with cleaning up your shit.
Look in the fucking mirror.
How ironic.
You mean greenland? Ukraine? Venezuela?
Or is this another pathetic attenpt to claim the US alone won world war II?
It’s quite telling that when you jump to conclusions as to what I meant, you end up at an extreme take.
Then tell us exactly what you were alluding to.
Go on
While you’re there, clarify what is extreme about the take.
You Mean,when You are going to invade us and afterwards say “sorry about that fellow ally, we won’t do that again”?
Wasn’t it against the king of England?
Are Americans still scared of the British monarchy?
It’s to rise up against a tyrannical government. THIS is the moment. All those people, including kids, have died during school shootings, accidents, gun violence, etc. to safeguard the right to have guns. It was all collateral damage, apparently all worth it, in case a rise against the government was necessary.
The entire world thinks it’s crazy to give up so much safety, to risk your life and of your children, for a hypothetical situation in which it’s necessary to rise up against the government. Now that this situation is created by themselves, they ask the rest of the world to intervene?
This is beyond the level of Idiocracy, because in that movie at least they listen to the smart guy.
The argument that your little piss ant semi auto AR-15 is going to do anything against a tyrannical government that can just predator drone your house has always been bullshit. They just like their toys and don’t give a fuck about children dying.
An AR15 works fine for kneecapping ICE agents though. And yes, kneecapping, I’m against killing. Let them suffer in a wheelchair without benefits for the rest of their lives, as the regime doesn’t give a fuck about sick and handicapped people. They’ll probably die in a camp as they aren’t useful workers, if the US continues the nazi Germany road.
More second amendment fantasies, that’s what I came here for. Shoot 1 ice agent and watch the army roll into your neighbourhood. Clown face.
Do nothing and you have the same result
Apparently LoL
I can’t see the US flag anymore, without my mind adding piss and shit stains on it.
Nothing will happen and Israel will still be in Eurovision.
Sorry. You got us all to fall for capitalism. Now our governments only think of the profits. They don’t care about your personal freedoms and liberties. Or ours, for that matter.
We all need to organize and unionize.
Except that we are also victims of capitalism. What’s that about class consciousness?
We need to be defeating capitalism in our countries first to then come to aid our neighbours after.
How would defeating capitalism without involving the US, the rotten core of capitalism, work?
Hmmm… that’s a good point.
Communism? (/s but not really)
Who is you? The English?
Yes
Please won’t somebody build a different system for financial transaction?
Toppling MasterCard and Visa would help a lot I think
The fact is that boycotting the us is for the good of the entire world. The Israel backed child murdering pedofiles running this country are a cancer.
I think that hate the American people, too, and a boycott is probably something they would love. These rich (think about how much musk has) can outlast most of the world. So I think the answer lies somewhere else, but I’m not saying not to try it.
I’m just saying make a plan b.
