    Americans seem completely fine with mocking and insulting Russians, Israelis and others, but when someone mocks Americans, all of a sudden it’s inappropriate to make fun of the general population for their government’s actions.

      American here, I’ve never agreed with mocking the population for the actions of the government. But sure generalise hundreds of millions of people, anything to avoid thinking about your hatefulness and it eating your soul bit by bit.

          Maybe I’m fucking tired of being told that I need die for the sins of others or suffer despite not doing anything wrong. Maybe I’m tired of the constant hypocrisy from both sides.

            No. Fuck you. What YOU SHOULD BE TIRED OF is living under a fascist regime that is sucking the life out of you and everyone around you.

            Foreigners making fun of you should be the bottom of your problems lists. Again Americans just have no sense of priority ranking.

            Grow some skin you dainty delicate little flowers. Makes me ashamed to be American.

                    Nah, please stay. I appreciated the genuine emotion.

                    We can hardly ever fully know another person, and what they’re going through, even face to face. On anonymous forums it’s easy to forget we’re communicating with actual humans.

                    A heartfelt comment like yours is a good slap on the cheek to remind us.

              Valid. Americans get angry at the wrong things. It’s a lack of Critical Thinking Skills being taught in public schools.

      Israelis overwhelmingly support the genocide in Gaza. Bad comparison and bad take

      And that’s completely ignoring the fact that not a single person has even remotely approached what is being said about random citizens directly, about Russian or Israeli citizens. But yeah we’re just uniquely bad and evil keep telling yourself that
