Political Memes

Where, where is everyone saying "fuck ALL individual Americans"? They're not.

Europe, Canada, and Australia have been happy to go along for the ride, as well as causing problems of their own.

Happy to go along with what? Global stability and trade? America develops nuclear weapons, demonstrates it will use them and then it's all the rest of the world's non-action that's the issue?

What problems has the European Union Caused for the world? Go on, I'll wait.

What policies specifically are you miffed with? That the rest of the white-European descended world went along with?

when there are so many of us that have been fighting this bullshit all while actually being victimized by our own government.

Yeah, you sure did a great job fighting it. I'm sure you were out there tirelessly campaigning against the GOP and spreading awareness of what would happen. I'm also sure you've had to deal with endless torrents of mean Europeans harassing you and telling you to KYS because of the last 250 years + Trump. Luckily, because you're so busy fighting, you probably haven't seen all those mean comments.

Stop Victimising yourself. Green Day came with American Idiot in 2004. You have had two decades to come to terms with criticism of modern American foreign policy in pop culture, act like it.

Now that they’re experiencing the slightest inconvenience,

Undermining global efforts to stop/reduce the climate catastrophe, the systematic erasure of personal freedoms, illegally tracking and spying on the whole world contrary to every law encompassed by GDPR which every American company agrees to to operate there. Creating the migrant crisis out of the middle and near east and creating the far-right after covid in order to exploit the economic recession, largely caused by the then American president's denial of science. The next global pandemic you're currently cooking up, the re-establishment of measles as a serious threat to Human life. The creation of Elon Musk and the Silicon Valley Technofascists through loans lent out by The US government. I can go on, endlessly. It is not "the slightest inconvenience." It is, emphatically, everything.

they want to cause an uproar and shit on everyone who happens to have been born here. It’s hypocritical and gross.

Well, now because of your countrymen, being born in Americ doesn't make you American, altgough there are still Americans who weren't born there. (For now.)

Complaining about American imperialism is not "uproar." What part of any of that qualifies as hypocrisy? You don't think people around the world have been criticising America for over a century? Buddy....

You didn’t care before, so what changed?

Nothing, people have always been critical of the United States. But you never had reason to listen to those criticisms. Now, America is threatening, not just the global order, but our continued existence as a species on Earth. So, yeah, the criticisms are getting louder. That's what happens when you elect the Nazis. Germany still gets criticised, that was 80 years ago. You better get some thicker skin than that friend, because you're gonna hear a lot more and rightly fucking so.

The only time I can recall in recent memory when any of these folks actually gave a shit about us was during the Floyd protests, which was certainly appreciated.

Yeah, because the idea of egalitarianism is inherently part of what makes being European a thing. Because we didn't censor our history in school to create the myth of a monoculture descended from a group of British settlers. We are a collection of individual identities, languages and ethnic groups who form a union based on our similarities as humans seeking peace and prosperity through mutual co-operation. Which is why your media hates us, because you guys have created your own aristocracy and we don't like that.

Dude, you have to separate America the Federal State, VS America the Geographical location, VS America the idea, VS America the population that inhabit the United States and Territories. They are not the same thing. I get people might be mean to you on an individual level, but contextually you should be able to separate that from criticism of America. You should not feel the need to be personally offended at individuals who criticise the actions of the American State Policies. It's intellectually disingenuous to do otherwise and it doesn't make anybody -regardless of nationality- sympathetic to your personal situation to be indignant and act like you don't understand that. Or, the global consequences of the "slightest inconvenience" you have gifted to the rest of the world.
