  Unless you’re American, I’m not talking to you. I was just commenting on the whole “they’ll be back and respected” thing.

  I was replying that me, and many like me, will never again have respect for America. As a nation they are dead to us. A century of good will and allyship was pissed down the drain in two years and Americans celebrated it.

  Fuck that and fuck them.

    So you’re going to ignore all the people who actively are fighting against it and victims of it, and lump everyone into a monolith because that’s what you’ve been told.

    I guess it is simpler to throw out nuance and just kinda be a bigot, but it’s not really in line with reality.

      Way too late to be “fighting against it” when 2/3rds of your voting population allowed this to happen in the first place.

        So the sins of some are on the shoulders of all? There’s some Inuit corpses under some schools you might want to take care of then.

        So you don’t support fighting against Trump then? If it’s too late then why are you mad at Americans for not doing enough? Make up your mind

        That last 1/3 is really scared and you are making no effort to recognize or understand those people.

        This is how people talk before they start to commit genocide and kill people for having been born in a country. Up to you if you wanna support actual individual people or just blind nationalism, eh?

    Mild critique, there is no “American nation,” there are settler-colonists that do not form a nation, colonized indigenous groups, and semi-colonies of formerly enslaved peoples.
