Europeans: "Well at least children aren't dying in our schools. At least we don't see street memorials on television every other week. Haha, owned."
Americans: "..."
Europeans: "See it's funny because people are dying and voters are powerless to stop it"
Americans: "What the hell man"
Europeans: "Wow, you guys should seriously get some thicker skin"

You are not powerless to stop it. Who is telling you this and why do you believe it? Your group is much, much bigger than the one who fucks everything up. Go out and show them! Nobody is telling you to get thicker skin, they're telling you to get off your ass and get angry about it.

Nobody apart from the guy I'm replying to, of course.

And everyone who downvoted my comment.

And for the record we've been voting. We've been protesting. We've been trying to get the rules changed and we're getting stonewalled by the 50% of the population who only listen to media that makes up reasons for them to hate things that would be good for the masses because it would be bad for a few people at the top and I'm sick to fucking death of people making fun of us for not trying hard enough and treating actual dying children as some sort of own.
