people are fucking stupid.

"Wow, would you look at that, the orange man is the president of the US again, and suddenly, everything that's American is bad now. Suddenly, it's okay to be xenophobic towards the citizens of a country simply because their government is shit. Ya know, cuz every single American is the same, am I right?"

There are no words to describe how much I despise this logic that lots of people posses. And I'm not even American.

I simply don't understand why the government is seen as the main and only cultural face of a country by many people, when it should be simply an agency that moderates society. The biggest keyboard warriors on the internet that supposedly

fight against discrimination will say death threats to people because they live in a country with a malicious ruler. I just don't understand how the fuck the culture, language, nationality and ethnicity is tied to the current government. Just because it might abuse those things to manipulate society doesn't mean that those things are bad. Not every single citizen of a country supports said country's government.

Why the hell "xenophobia is bad, illogical and unjust" needs to be said out loud in 21th century, it should be general knowledge.

Humanity will never unite until we stop being fucking stupid. A lot of people who say that they don't like discrimination, when in reality they just don't want hate towards the groups they belong to. Think of a racist conservative on Twatter who says that he cares about well being of white people, when in reality he just hates minorites, or that one Reddit "communist" who does the same thing as the conservative but vice versa.

Trust me, I know how shit it feels when the world hates you without even knowing you and wishes you death for things you haven't done.

You can blame mainstream media for that. Society is slowly in the brink of collapse.

Most social media are based in America, so I'm sure it's mainly Americans talking about how much their country sucks and that they're sorry for being born there. Either that, or Americans silently agreeing with non-Americans making fun of Americans voting for Trump.

But I do agree with the sentiment that too many people assume every citizen of a country is as bad as their government or 100% responsible for their ruler getting elected to do bad things.

I remember when Asmongold got under fire for saying Palestinians deserved to be bombed because of Sharia law hurting the LGBT(a lot of people may have even agreed with him if it weren't for the ongoing war)

One shouldn't be ashamed of their nationality, ethnicity or place of birth. Those things do not determinate what kind of person they are. Self hate in this case is just as bad.

Take it from an American. Many of us have been doing everything we can to resist the dumb shit that our president is trying to enact.
Unfortunately most of the country reads at a 6th grade level and sees a lack of education as a virtue for some reason. Explaining this shit to other Americans is EXHAUSTING enough on its own.

@Chdonga It should be noted that it is believed Trump won at the slimmest margin since George W. Bush won re-election 20 years prior, and he won with only about 30% of registered voters, so unfortunately he won simply by demotivating the other side from actually casting votes (or voter suppression) and STILL barely squeaked by the popular vote. Yet he himself is acting like the whole country is on his side when justifying his obviously-disastrous (for us) executive orders.

The upside is that I finally know what it feels like to be, say, a Russian or Chinese person on the Internet that does not support their government, but gets ridiculed by Americans and Europeans online as if they were Putin or "Whinnie the Pooh" (can't remember the Chinese President-for-Life's name) themselves. Need to give people the benefit of the doubt, no matter where they're from or whatever idiot is currently running their country to the ground.

But yeah, Trump has basically destroyed the last 4 years of economic progress in about 4 weeks of his second term so far, deliberately raising the prices of needs like groceries and gas. I'm pretty sure the Americans that DID vote him back in were under the impression he would REDUCE the price of necessities, so he's already stabbed his own supporters in the back on top of everyone else. Mocking Americans as if they WANTED Trump to deliberately gouge us out of our own money again, among other things, is just adding insult to injury.

There is no United in United States anymore. When one side is trying to maintain peace and stability while the other side rejects reason and embraces reckless destruction, you end up with a weakened nation unable to plan around long term trends and sudden events.
It might as well be the Fractured States of America, and I don't know if it can be fixed in its current form.
