Yet, they love to talk about Muhammad’s child bride (not condoning here). It is very important to condemn some guy who died 1500 years ago, but not the human skidmark walking among us.

I’m well aware of the issues in the US and caused by the government. Much of it affects me. My point is that Europe, Canada, and Australia have been happy to go along for the ride, as well as causing problems of their own. Now, every time I get on lemmy, I see these same people who have benefitted from these policies and actions saying “fuck ALL Americans,” when there are so many of us that have been fighting this bullshit all while actually being victimized by our own government. Now that they’re experiencing the slightest inconvenience, they want to cause an uproar and shit on everyone who happens to have been born here. It’s hypocritical and gross. You didn’t care before, so what changed? The only time I can recall in recent memory when any of these folks actually gave a shit about us was during the Floyd protests, which was certainly appreciated.
Oh? What amazingly wonderful country do you hail from?
As an American, I have no love for my country or its history. Europeans and their descendants around the globe, however, are quite hypocritical when it comes to the US. They have their own horrendous histories and currently do terrible things around the globe. They love to point to the US to take attention off of themselves, all while they enjoy taking US money and benefiting from the protection the US military industrial complex affords them. These benefits allow them to do wonderful things for their citizens, all while my brethren are held in bondage, murdered by the state and white supremacists, and homeless/ starving in our streets. It isn’t too dissimilar to slave bonds. Europe condemned American slavery all while participating in the “slave bond” trade. Now they are all in a tizzy and butt hurt because the clown ass president said some mean things and started economic slap fights that primarily harm Americans. All that to say, anyone complaining about the US that isn’t from Latin America, Africa, or certain Asian countries is just a hypocritical toddler throwing a tantrum.
Where are people getting this idea that there will ever be any type of trails for this? I’ve even seen some talking about the Hague, which is particularly laughable because the US has an invasion policy specifically regarding the Hague, predating Trump.
That isn’t remotely close to what I said. Wow.
