Oh fuck off already. The general US hate on Lemmy is fucking ridiculous, especially given those of us on this platform don't share the hateful rhetoric in the least.
Hate the admin. Hate the minority of morons who blindly support their bullshit. All the general hate for all US citizens does is show ignorance of the situation we face here.
The culture of the US is a product. It is designed to be apathetic if not hateful towards the enemies of the state and intentionally developed to misguide the populous. US culture is systematically created by the business owning class who recognizes that pointing the US population's understandable ire over their own destitution at foreigners is in their interest. I can hate that fascimile of a culture without hating the people who have fallen victim to it. My enemy is not the American people but the American people are taught to believe I am their enemy.
Tankie bullshit. Awesome. You still profess general hatred of all US citizens and can go fuck yourself courtesy of the large portion of the population who support immigrants and understand that this country was formed by immigrants and depends on them as well.
If you truly believed the shit you just posted you wouldn't have posted this meme.
The meme is expressing is general frustration that I commonly experience when engaging fellow Americans in political discourse. It is undeniable that it is very common for Americans to blame their problems on foreign nations or peoples. The meme does not express hatred of the general American population and I am uncertain where you got that idea. If you could elaborate I would appreciate that. Believe it or not a 14 word meme meant to vent frustration does not express the full complexity of my political and social views.
It is literally stating that all Americans hate foreigners. You're bloody delusional.
Have you never heard of hyperbolic humor? It's a fucking meme dumbass
Bro, I don't even know how to describe this.
Like many memes, it is not meant to be taken literally
What is the hate here? The meme is making fun of the tendency of USians to blame immigrants for every problem they face. This is not spun out of nowhere.
It's probably at least partly a reaction to decades of US exceptionalism where the US (and many citizens) proclaim it's the greatest and most developed nation on the planet (and definitely the good guys) while anyone with a little travel experience already knew that's not the case.
What's true though is that it's a large but relatively young nation with the biggest military, biggest economy and biggest tech companies on the planet.
On the other hand, fuck this evil country and the rotten fucking people who live here.
