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.
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.
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.
Funny that you think civilians being bombarded is bad now, but in other threads about other countries being bombarded, you advocate for them to lay down arms and surrender to the people doing the bombing. How’s Gaza different?
It is kind of annoying people blaming Americans as if I personally am responsible for the shit Trump does.

Critics in general understand this, but not most lemmy.ml users. Just read the other replies here.
“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.
I’m not from .ml, just pointing out the irony.
Lol, ok sorry. I don’t blame you for wanting to make that clear.
Americans are a small group of people in terms of the entire planet.
And they (we) are also “literally all like that, to a person” as Americans
It really is that easy, see? Clarified
“To be fair, doubles down”

God it does my heart good to see such embarrassing smug pieces of shit like you get down voted in your own safe spaces 🤗
I meant myself as an American
Americans love to scapegoat trump as if genocide isn’t bipartisan policy
As if genocide wasn’t a formative policy of the United States itself.
If you collectively (and thus, somewhat personally) aren’t responsible then who the fuck is?
Collective punishment is dumb, just ask Palestine in regards to hamas
Settle down now, people are saying shit about y’all on the internet, not quite what’s happening to Palestinians is it.

I would say it’s more annoying to be genocided by American bombs.

I advocate for what the majority of the people fighting want, lmao. That’s quite obvious, I thought!
Blame Trump, Hegseth, and the people who voted for Trump.
Oh yeah? Anybody else we wanna add to the list?
