I’m also American. yes we are to blame for the actions of our country because our country was founded on the principle that we would get a say in what it does no matter what. We even have a hierarchy of rights to protect our ability to take responsibility for our country’s actions. From our right to free speech that protects our ability to protest, to our right to vote which protects our right to choose (in theory), to our right to own guns which allows us to protect the first two rights (when we don’t let anyone limit 2a), to our right to be educated enough to exercise all the previous rights.

When things have gone as wrong as they have, sure there are bad actors involved but at some point we fucked up and that’s on us. There will always be bad actors and we gotta be more responsible than just letting it go saying "well I didn’t have a choice ". Our failures affect the whole world.
