Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Well then the "world" is wrong. Stop being so fucking stupid and abandoning factual reality.
You sound like that Tesseract guy. It must be everyone else that's wrong. Not Americans. Factual reality is that Americans caused this mess and no amount of "I didn't vote that way" whining will change how you're viewed.
I know my opinion isn't popular, not even with me, but this is the way it is now.
It is sadly true. Just like the Nazis in the past, we Americans are all in the same bag whether we like it or not. Can't really blame you.
Yeah ok, we're all Nazis now apparently. Cool.
Kinda, yeah. We are currently sitting at the table with Nazis. They are our administration, and we have yet to clear them from the table. And until we do, it's not unfair for other nations and their people to assume we're Nazis as well.
If we don't want to look like Nazis then we have to clean house until none of the filth remains. And if you're not willing to do that, then you should get used to the same scorn Germans had to deal with after Hitler, because you deserve it.
TL;DR Don't want to be accused of being a Nazi, then we shouldn't let Nazis sit at our table.
Do you think that people worldwide made distinctions on who the "good" German's were while the Nazis steamrolled Europe?
Look, I don't like it but this is what the rest of the world is going to see. Relax, if we didn't want people to think this maybe we should have fought harder than just thinking voting would solve all our problems in a broken system.
Do you think literally ever German was responsible for Nazi policies?
Do you think it's WRONG to say every single Japanese person deserved to die in the American nuclear bombings, even children and infants? I do. I don't care if other people are so stupid that they make such careless generalizations. We should all be better than that. You're excusing their bigotry.
Voting did solve our problem, not voting is what caused this. Another one you stupid fucking keyboard revolutionaries, right?
No, I am not going to accept blatant falsehoods to make non-Americans feel better about their bigotry and I am not taking the blame for something I'm not responsible for.
Lmao my god man, get a grip. You're making it worse and sound like a hyper nationalistic jackass.
Your opinion is wrong, factually. It is based on an incredibly poor understanding of the situation. You're just looking to excuse your bigotry.
Some Americans are to blame, some are not. Which incredibly simple concept are you not getting? Democracy? Or the fact that the US is made up of more than one individual?
There is no logical basis for your bullshit argument and thankfully, no matter how presumptuous and pompous you apparently are, you don't speak for the entire rest of the world.
Unfortunately unlike previous decades, you Americans don't get to ignore the other 98% of humanity. Welcome to the century of American humiliation. You chose it, you live with the consequences.
You're the one ignoring a huge chunk of our population. Shove your hypocrisy up your ass.
Oh, and also apparently we're simultaneously policing the globe but also ignoring it entirely?
