Why I Think The USA Should Be Sanctioned & How


I believe the usa should be sanctioned because its actions within its country and outside it are akin to the terrorist and dictators they support around the world. Terrorist and dictators who, like the usa, don’t get sanctioned for their actions. Examples of these terrorist actions are the dismantling of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Ukraine; just to highlight the more polarizing foreign examples. Domestically this government and its corporate allies manipulate the true value of goods making for a casino like economy, fast tracking of gas pipelines, militarizing the police, and on and on. I’m sure you could think of some actions of the government and other factions have taken, that violate constitutional law, human rights laws, and environmental laws.

 The reason the usa can’t be sanctioned is its population goes along with the actions of the government, its military, and corporate partners. Back in the states they tell you “if you have nothing to hide, you have no concerns”  The general public's acceptance of a non representative government, that plays on its emotions to get votes; only to give the illusion of a choice, the multi-nation conglomerates your military props up.  The general population buys into the media line that it’s a good thing to support the troops; even if they are going off to fight for oil, land grabs, or just reasserting its dominance in foreign lands

In effect, you sanction the usa by not voting for a fake two party yes or no. Another way to sanction the usa is by producing more of what you consume, in all aspects of your life For example:  growing food, alternative heating and cooling sources, and if you are ambitious, finding alternative ways to receive and distribute bandwidth and data, maybe creating a niche industry if needed to control more of what you do. The final example of ways to sanction the usa is forming innovative ways to exchange goods outside of this taxation without representation system.
