Comment on Why do some Americans "feel ashamed" for being American even when it's not their fault?

So for anyone keeping score at home:

This is exactly what OP is talking about. Instead of answering the question with anything even remotely resembling a nuanced take- we have instead, decided to make an uneducated blanket assessment of an entire group of people based on zero evidence and a lack of qualifications to make such an accusation.

For example, I am an American liberal. And everthing they said doesn’t even come close to describing my stance on the issues of nationalism or how I feel about my take on personal political representation.

But one should never let this get in the way of a good ol’ blanket statement! Because nothing says “no need to take anything I say seriously” any louder than this.

  Get this, they responded to me saying that checked my profile- and apparently saw that I somehow equate leftists with liberalism and because of this, I don’t know shit, so they blocked me.
  
  I don’t think I’ve ever put the two in the same bucket.

    I saw that. A lot of people out there think they are really smart and also that we care that they think that.

Jesus how dramatic. Please explain liberalism for me so that I know what I’ve gotten wrong here.

  LMAO.
  
  They checked my profile, found that I’ve never once said liberalism is leftist, and created a reason to back out of the argument.
  
  You can’t make this shit up.
  
  And they blocked me? Well, some gifts just wrap themselves, don’t they?
