Usually I am sympathetic towards people losing their jobs. However, that goes out the window when their government is hostile and I am watching family struggle due to the trade war.

So all the USians celebrating that Russia is cut off from Western trade and SWIFT, and that its economy is failing, are huge assholes?
Did you actually think I wouldn't say yes to that? "No, it's fine to do it when I hate an entire people" /s
Literally the entire point I'm making is that it is horrendous to blindly cast hatred upon thousands/millions of strangers.
But yet you have no words for your own country only others.
SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOUR WORDS ARE MEANINGLESS AT THIS POINT FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD.
Well, then I don't see any shortage of USian assholes on social media, specifically Lemmy and especially Reddit.
I literally haven't seen that come up. My eyes have been opened about this "Canadians are so nice" thing though. Total bullshit.
Edit: The fact that you bring up Russians out of the blue like this on Lemmy is interesting for me personally too because my go-to example, on this topic, of what I wouldn't do is wish ill on the Russian people as a whole because of Putin's misdeeds. The reason it is my go-to example is that I know Putin has a lot of public support there.
It will never be okay to wish death and despair on large groups of innocent people because of what oligarchs do. It just makes you seem like a thoughtless and heartless bigoted piece of shit if you do it.
It literally doesn't matter. It is total bullshit, but it is human bullshit.
Some will cry, some will gnash, some will joke, some will mock, some will defend, some will be hopelessly devoid of nuance.
It doesn't matter because it's playing right into the hands of the ruling class. There is zero fucking difference between all of this, no matter where you're from, not functionally.
No matter which people from where at the time are spouting whichever opinion, it doesn't matter.
No one gives a fuck about this nihilist bullshit, ironically.
I wasn't being nihilistic. I was pointing out an anthropological fact. I can take the first Canadian comment and take it on a walk through time on the People's Canada has harmed and--
No, actually. Fuck this and fuck me for trying to help. Fuck the Canadians. Fuck you too.
... I would definitely still peg you as a nihilist, more so after this comment than before lol
You fall into the lack of nuance category. Nihilism and exhaustion can be indecipherable in the right contexts.
Lol the whole reason I'm here is a bunch of assholes see no nuance. They don't hate the trump supporters, they hate americans generally and delight in their suffering. And defend themselves as righteous for it
Obviously all Canadians being nice was bullshit lol, it’s a textbook stereotype. I’m afraid you have no one to blame but yourself for taking that at face value.
All of them? What about the "innocent" ones?
Ohh you got me! I'm a huge hypocrite. Because what I was saying is that I take great pleasure in knowing every newly homeless Canadian absolutely deserves it! Hahahha I'm fucking evil but it's justified!! /s
It's refreshing to see an internet person admit when they're wrong. That's the first step to wisdom. Don't worry, you'll get there.
