    It is kind of annoying people blaming Americans as if I personally am responsible for the shit Trump does.

      If you collectively (and thus, somewhat personally) aren’t responsible then who the fuck is?

          Settle down now, people are saying shit about y’all on the internet, not quite what’s happening to Palestinians is it.

            People also say that we deserve Trump and we are responsible for the genocide in Palestine if we criticize the dems. Collective punishment is a through line for our systems to justify its actions.

      I think critics of our fascist American leaders understand that not every single American voted for them but they are criticizing America as a whole, not you as an individual. It’s like how I appreciated Hungarians for starting to break away from their ugliness, even though plenty voted for Orban.

          “I don’t like people grouping me in with actions of others”

          Proceeds to complain about a group of people as a whole.

            To be fair, .ml is a small group, and you’re literally all like that, to a person.

                And they (we) are also “literally all like that, to a person” as Americans

                It really is that easy, see? Clarified

                  Yes, you self sort into this group. This is unlike a group such as ‘all Americans’, which is much larger and heterogeneous, with involuntarily membership. I know, it’s complicated, and you’re more concerned with impressing your peers than forming a coherent worldview.
