Yeah, Americans can be insufferable but I try to consider that they’re indoctrinated from birth and people be people. Birthplace doesn’t dictate the person
Comment on me irl

To be fair, at least 1/3 of us are the deplorables who got us here.

And even they are mostly decent people, just misguided by propaganda/misinformation.

I don’t think anyone not living in America understands how deeply propaganda is pushed here across media and culture. The ruling class has distorted everything so much it’s hard to have a coherent conversation with most people on real issues. The misinformation and capital class talking points are intensely deep seated.

I think it’s pretty obvious for us here outside the US too. It is like bad body odour, it is harder to notice when you’re used to it.

Eh, the rest of the western world aren’t really any better in this regard, as much as they try to pretend that they are

No. I’ve had several people admit to me that the hatred is the point.
Anyine who still supports this regime is supporting them because of the hatred.

Most people aren’t born hateful. They’re taught it, and you can unteach it too.

Hate is a multi-billion dollar business in America. The capital class spends obscene amounts of money to keep people hating each other and stoke the culture war. It’s the evolution of the old school union busting on the 1900s.

So you’re hating them back? That’ll teach them!

Their comments are kind of easy to pick out luckily.
