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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

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

    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?

    Blame Trump, Hegseth, and the people who voted for Trump.
