Of course you can be forgiven, and believe me I understand your fear. It’s scary being here too, my political ideology was basically declared a terrorist ideology yesterday and met with calls from our government for mass violence against people who hold my views.
That said, I dont hold all Germans responsible for WWII. I don’t hold all isrealis responsible for Gaza or all Russians responsible for Ukraine. I think the people who dissent against those regimes living in those countries are the best positioned to meaningfully do something about their governments, and even if they haven’t done enough to fully end the problems yet they are impactful. At least Russia and Ukraine today have active protests and civil disobedience that help if nothing else push back against the internal propaganda engines in their countries
At a time when everything seems bleak, I think finding allies where you can is more important than ever. Some of those allies will come from within. My understanding is people living in Germany who didn’t like hitler were instrumental to his downfall once Germany was meaningfully being invaded.
You can and should be worried about what the fascist USA is capable of, but I promise whatever there is that can be done against it I will be there to help (for whatever that’s worth as a non military person who is also trying to provide for my family while resisting fascism). I wish it could be more.

This is someone who knows nothing about America. You either don’t know what a monolith is or you’re just grossly misinformed. You seem to think the entire population just agrees with everything the country does and you hold the people accountable for everything bad the county does.
If you’re so scared and are demanding so much there is plenty action you could take. You could volunteer, you could donate, you could do things if you are actually that worried. But you won’t. You just want to complain online, which ironically is what a lot of America is doing.
How the fuck do you think we feel? Everyone is yelling at us to fight and where people fight they are disappeared. You’re afraid the US military might come after you? They’re already after us and all everyone is doing is telling us to fight the military they are scared might come for them while doing fuck all.
Either help or move on, whatever this is you’re trying to do, isn’t helping anything.
