I'm trans I barely get treated like a person and have my options severely limited. Don't give me that shit about how every American is responsible when we tried to tell people and got ridiculed and called slurs for it and got rape threats. Kiss my ass.
Another trans person here. Wasn't born here. Neither was my wife. I didn't ask to be brought to this country as a child. I'd love to be able to leave.
I have spent my entire adult life voting in every single election and working toward making this a more bearable place for myself and others. A minority of this country is happy with what is happening. A minority.
A larger portion of Americans are actively doing what they can to push back, but fascists have had decades to enshrine themselves into every foundation of this country. It's not a matter of protesting hard enough or voting hard enough. There is a lot of work to do and those of us who have been doing it the whole time still are.
This victim-blaming bullshit has got to stop.
Right there with you. Stay safe
I don't think they are blaming all Americans they are just saying the rest of the world doesn't care about individuals as it's irrelevant when war comes. Don't take it personally but you are the enemy to them, after the war we don't associate innocenct civilians with the german war machine but during the war is different. You are basically an innocent civilian who never supported the rise of hitler in Nazi Germany right before ww2. Right now for them it's about safety and survival they don't have the time or the responsibility to care that it's not all Americans.
Being incapable of separating suffering civilians from a fascist regime is myopic, tribalist, and only helps perpetuate more of the attitude that caused the US to be in the situation it is now.
Nazis killed innocent Germans first. Most of the world didn't give a shit until they had solidified power enough at home to target other nations.
I was born in Germany. I was there when the Berlin wall came down. That history was real for me.
Our arbitrary borders mean nothing when we are all facing the global threat of fascism.
I'm not saying they should be unable to seperate just that they shouldn't be expected to while their lives and home are actively being threatened.
Damn I guess you all blame the Jewish people and everyone else that got targeted just because they lived in Nazi Germany? Are you all fucking stupid?
No im saying the people of Rotterdam should not be expected to have consciously seperate the good Germans and the Nazis as the city was being marched on. You seem to be intentionally misrepresenting what I said. Your country voted for all this and you are not some special person who should be seen as seperate from the rest of the Americans by the victims of America. I'm not saying you are to blame I'm saying the people of Greenland, Venezuela, and everyone else America is threatening aren't responsible for caring you didn't vote for trump.
You're not being misinterpreted you're just a piece of shit. If this is the attitude in Europe then y'all are fucked.
