No

@BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world has one take on it that may indeed be accurate. My take was just queer representation. I have the same reaction as a gay dude. Seeing queer couples out and about both makes me happy that we’re moving in a direction where that can happen without constant fear and because I get to see people like me and don’t feel so alone

So this is something that I’ve noticed recently, and honestly, it’s pissing me off. America has spent an absurd amount of its existence pushing its influence around the rest of the world, whether that be media or military. In all of it, American exceptionalism runs rampant, with Americans believing that they have the best country on the planet. Often comparing America to other countries as if America is the basic template of what something should be. Yet, when someone who is not an American decides to have an opinion on America, the Americans expect special treatment, saying that we do not know what it is like there. Yet they are the country that does not shut the fuck up about themselves.

You are amongst friends and fellow trauma victims.

Good luck. That man’s two feet can’t even find a clear position to stand in that doesn’t make him look like a centaur amputee

You don’t fucking say. What convinced you? Was it the Geno or the Cide?

So does Stamets.

I am assuming the Channel 4 website is geolocked to the United Kingdom… So I really hope that they stream this on YouTube as well.

Is it really that troublesome that people from a nation made up of dozens of states, reservations, islands, etc want the same?

Yup because you’re one country.

What you initially described is one country being annoyed of getting said they’re responsible for another country. You’re all the same voting block. Moreover, a voting block that overwhelmingly voted for Donald Trump. He won in majority of votes and then something like 40% of your eligible electorate decided not to vote at all.

So, once again, I am not adding a disclaimer and caveat to every single comment just to spare the feelings of Americans. You’re either capable of going “Well clearly this doesn’t apply to people who aren’t bigots” or you need it literally spelled out for you. If you need it literally spelled out for you then you’re the type of American who the rest of the world is utterly sick of in the first place.

You said terrorist nation, not state.

American.

Here’s the definition of State:

a nation or territory considered as an organized political community under one government.

Here’s the definition of Nation:

a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory.

Glad I could help you with your civics lesson.

Okay, and what’s your solution supposed to be? To have everyone go, well the United States is a horrible country that is filled to the brim with bigots, but because there is a tiny, tiny margin of people who aren’t, we should be kind to the whole country, because we don’t want to hurt their feelings? Or do you expect me to add a disclaimer to every one of my comments saying, of course, this does not apply to those in this case or that case or this other case? Because if so, that’s also ridiculous. You might have ALSO noticed I said the country is a terrorist state and not every single person is culpable. But there’s this thing called the majority…

So no. I will not be adding a disclaimer to every comment saying something both of us are aware of. But way to go on disproving the stereotype of Americans and expecting special treatment.

The United States is a terrorist nation that should be walled off from the rest of the civilized world.

I appreciate it, but it’s all based off of only a small bit of information that you’re aware of. I suck. I hate myself. I have a reason to hate myself. I have almost no value for the rest of humanity in general. So while I do appreciate it, it’s not true for me.

Sorry fucko. The days where the United States got to have any say outside of their country are long gone.

Never going to love myself but I appreciate it. I don’t want to anyway.

Also good god… Those are a whole lot of upvotes. Thank you lol but I wouldn’t say I’m a cornerstone of the fediverse. Maaaaaaaaybe early early on but no where near it now.

It’s how I’ve felt for a long time. Had a break with them as a roommate until I realized they were doing the same thing to me that everyone else was. Meh. I’m used to it.

I have been dumpster diving for groceries the past few hours so no lol

But I do actually have a physical bitcoin

Come here big boy

Still need that hug, huh buddy?
