As an non-american, I would blame american voters for supporting the US military complex. It doesn't matter what you vote for and that you've been propagandized into the "lesser evil" thinking. The blood is on your hand.
Plastic containers don’t need to be melted down and remade into anything; they can be cleaned and reused. But we just throw them away, or send them to be recycled immediately, and still consume more; completely ignoring the first two R’s.
Except a plastic bottle start leaking cancerous shit after a week or so iirc

Yes, Trump rhetoric is anti-elitist, anti-liberal ultra-nationalist targeted at an empoverished working class. Exactly like national-socialism. And exactly like national-socialism, it's profiting off the contradictions of liberals who pretend to be progressive while upholding inequalities.
I do understand (and I am sure you mean well, not attacking you as a person). But the confusion isn't just a detail here, it's inherent to what you're saying. Look up what happened in Berlin in 1933, for example. Liberal conciliating attitude paved the way to nazism.
In 1830, a slave revolt in the US saw the slaves committing atrocities, rape and murder, calling to "kill all the white". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nat_Turner%27s_slave_rebellion
Does that mean we're pro-slavery?
One day you will make up and have to face the fact you're playing semantic games with war crimes and atrocities.
