I think that means you do not like American government and foreign policy.
Not the American people.
I think that's the line that becomes vague when you say "anti-American".
Americans in history have been trying to fight the evil machine and have been assassinated or villianized.
I'll also say that other countries are not without blame. There is no reason why other countries should have trusted another country to protect them.
Every country should have invested a healthy amount into their armies and never let one country get so powerful.
Or exploit their populace for pennies. (INDIA/MEXICO COUGH)
Imperialism is the devil on this planet but were all responsible for not fighting back against the machine or uniting the world working class.
We have the technology now with things like the fediverse. The doors are open for now for open communication and coordination.
Wow, so not only you're justifying the present actions of your government but you also manage to slide in some victim-blaming in the process.
I fucking despise America's principles. It's stolen land built on genocide and perpetuated by constant war.
Victim blaming who? The UK taught America how to exploit and also did the same. Heck they even did it better in terrifying way.
Other countries just now thought of adjusting their GDP to account for not relying on the American Military.
Can you explain to me how that is not oversight? How that is not irresponsible?
Im Mexican American so I understand how the fucking border flew over my people.
But there isn't a black and white villian here. Plenty of powerful people in multiple countries help create the reality and dynamics of the countries.
American principles? There hasn't been a united states of America to have unified principles since our inception. It was just loud propaganda to tell us so.
I don't even think we should be this big. You know how many countries are unified in ideals because they are monoculture, monotheist, monoracial? Were not it.
But its also what makes us beautiful. Being a melting pot not often seen in a majority of countries.
Jesus fucking Christ, do you believe in meritocracy?
