To be fair, immigrants kinda ruined this place starting in 1492.

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 developed 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.
To be fair, Murdoch and Musk hold significant responsibility for the dumpster fire currently taking in this country...
Admittedly fair but they follow a home grown trend. If they did not fulfill their current roles some other loser would.
Outside of news media, I dont really ever hear this. Then again I dont have any magats in my life.
I learned early on immigrants uplift their communities, and we have both emperical and ancidontal evidence to support this.
Sorry for my spelling, the app im using now doesnt seem have any spell check. I either did spell correctly, or I was so wrong my phone offered no other suggestions.
I hear it from the few liberals in my life who think Russia has immense influence on Trump and the current state of our country is therefore Russia's fault. I hear it from people of many ideologies who push the "Zionist occupied government" rhetoric to avoid confronting our states track record of being a genocidal monster and our power over the Israeli state. Of course I also hear it from fascists who blame jews, arabs, and mexicans for their financial troubles. It's very common. I'd argue most politically aware Americans passively subscribe to one of these beliefs if not actively but this is just my subjective experience.
When the US blames foreigners, it's racism. When foreigners blame the US, it's anti-imperialism. Is this the double standard everyone talks about?
