    I hate bigots. On Lemmy every day it is commonly expressed that millions of people are trash because of where they were born. Hundreds of users cannot wait to tell you how evil ALL Americans are. And somehow this form of “I despise vast numbers of people for being born somewhere” is supposedly not bigotry (it very obviously is). I will never believe that these users want what’s best for us. They want us to suffer. That is why they cannot wait to tell us how much they hate our guts for being born a place.

        Did you see this thread? Because a lot of it and a lot of American politics threads are “fuck Americans they’re all stupid and evil!”

            Oh shit. I just looked out and saw the “bigotry against americans is the only valid position” billboard. My bad. Thanks for the absolutely bad faith fake ass question tho.

              You are living in an evil empire that’s building concentration camps and shooting civilians, starting wars and funding genocide, yet you expect the rest of the world to treat you like you aren’t a citizen of said evil empire?

                We expect people who are supposed to be progressives to understand that no one chooses the circumstances of their birth dipshit. I’ve been speaking out against America since I was a teenager, and have no means to escape. Yet in your eyes I am no different than some conservative dipshit who helped drag all of America into this.

                Its literal fascist thinking, you are equating a human being to their nationality. I see it on Lemmy all the time, usually from idiots whose own countries have their own histories of vile and evil shit. Its stupid, pathetic, and not at all congruent with progressive thinking.

                The idea that anyone should treat someone poorly because they live in a place is called bigotry. Any words you want to say to excuse that are just bullshit

                  Treat you? We’re not having you over for dinner, buddy. This is a comment section. Get over yourself.

                  We’re sick of hearing you bitch about Trump while doing nothing about it. It’s been ten years, either do something or shut up. We have no sympathy left for you.

                    Keep the hate flowing, particularly toward Trump opponents which you know this platform is almost entirely comprised of. Blocked for bigotry.

      Yup, and ironically a very fascist view of nationality from those who like to think they are progressive. It’s even funnier that most of them are European and their countries histories are also full of atrocities.

        Exactly, exactly, and exactly.

        Fuck countries, let alone utilizing that construct to justify hating large numbers of people. I despise what Russia has been doing and that there is a lot of support for it there. And yet if I catch myself saying “the Russians” I have to check myself because I usually mean the Russian government. I damn sure will never use it to say “I hate all their citizens”. And I would hate it if that’s how someone took it.

        Edit: comment instead of downvote, cowards.
