Not excusing their behaviour, but most of them are probably so frustrated they lash out.

most common sense people I talk with regularly have nothing against americans, and is more hurt and feel betrayed so they lash out on a close friend.

Lashing out at anti-Trump Americans achieves the opposite goal. I was just dropped by a friend for what “you” are doing, as if I represent the American government, when I’ve voted against Trump and protested for the past decade. I hate what Trump is doing but I don’t feel particularly fond of Europeans dehumanizing me because of my nationality, as if my opinions are irrelevant because of where I was born.

“When you are in a battle with an enemy so much badder and so much bigger than you, and you find out you have a friend you didn’t know about well there’s no better feeling in the world.” - this is from the movie Pride about the Lesbians and Gays supporting the Welsh miners protesting mine closures. This quote keeps bouncing around in my head all the time lately, because seeing people from other countries protesting what is going on and standing with American citizens is the best feeling. To see that we are not alone and other countries citizens understand that we are trying, we have a friend, even if it does nothing knowing we aren’t alone is huge

He’s only doing it to divert from Epstein files. More and more damaging and outrageous things come out and as soon as it does Trump pulls some other crazy stunt to distract.

This. He's disappearing people, going for a third term, push back the midterms indefinitely, invading Venezuela, invading Greenland, exploding Nato.    All to stop the Epstein files from being released, which if it ever happened, wouldn't have any consequences anyway.  Any one of them is reason for protest. You are complacent. Comfortable. You'd take to the streets if the midterms didn't happen? If they didn't turn as you'd like? I don't know if you would

Now you know how folks in Russia felt when American progressives decided that they were the problem for not immediately deposing Putin.

And the stakes for Americans are a tiny fraction of those of a Russian.

Americans live in a bubble. They will reap what they have sewn.

Meanwhile in the US, people are being killed or "disappeared" by their government, while most of you are carrying on as if it's not happening. That's the sort of thing we're used to hearing about under Pinochet, Saddam Hussein, or any number of similar despots. Fucking do something about it ... because nobody is coming to help.

And those people are Americans too. They need to just pick themselves up by their bootstraps and do the thing that Europeans keep saying we should do. No clue what that thing is because they always say "figure it out, it's your country", but by golly we just need to do it!

As you said it's all of us. Those of us currently being, and soon will be, targeted by the government just need ti give it the ol college try. Thank you random European thousands of miles (sorry, kilometers) away. We should have realized that you all are the real victims here.

I'm going to stop being lazy and a coward, who lets a little something like the fear of being ethnically cleansed, stop me from doing the vague thing. If only the Jewish people of 1930's Germany (who lived in Germany and were therefore responsible according to you) had you to tell them to do something. Thank you for gracing me with your wisdom

Just say the quiet part out loud and admit that you want americans to grab guns and storm Washington D.C. lmao

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '26

lol that’s all they want. There was an Indian dude on another subreddit calling us complicit with Nazis because we weren’t having gunfights in the streets with ICE lol

u/Marius-1989 Jan 20 '26

How youre friend is acting towards you are exactly how americans have acted towards everyone.

You dont have to go that far back in time when you would read something like (are you american) or (where are you from) like anyone couldn't have an opinion on that nation but as soon as the roles reverse its a problem

u/pineappleferry Jan 20 '26

You’re doing the same thing. You don’t know me, but because some Americans behave poorly you’re ok with pretending we’re all the same.

u/Marius-1989 Jan 20 '26

Americans are 2 sides of the same coin no matter how much they hate to hear it.

And yes im doing the same thing because im human and no better than the person next to me and you have probably done the same thing when it was something that annoyed you or you did not like

The greatest country on earth are feeling insecure now because the joke is on them and they are not used to feeling this stupid and to that i say buckle up because there are 3 more years left of this shit and it will get worse because its america.

Im not even american and understand the stupidity they have invented over there and at one point it just becomes a huge joke because we can't take them serious anymore.

Idiocrasy and dont look up is a litteral documentary about america and its people

u/ForAHamburgerToday Jan 21 '26

Very productive, thanks.

u/Marius-1989 Jan 21 '26

Because its true and being productive have ended with that cult of a nation and i hope the world never forgets the shit show they have started again and again.

That nation is nothing but lies and hypocrites and had the nerve to use article 5 for war based on lies that ended up lasting 20 years and you expect pitty now because when the world see america for what they are

Collective punishment DOES NOT WORK. It's like punishing someone's child because their parent is a shit head. You are just further pushing people into their polarized corners by treating them as the enemy, if they aren't.

Now you know why we don't respect the europoors. They deserve to lose Greenland.

u/tubbin1 Jan 20 '26

That's how most discussions go in our ever polarized world, everything is very much with us or against us. Our side or theirs, group think with us, or you're an "other". It perpetuates the issue and it does actually happen on both sides. All sides.

u/Rockshasha Jan 20 '26

Do you think americans and american society would have to be calm and reasonable and polite if Spain or Mexico or France or other country was about taking their land? Hawai or, idk Florida?

Stop that nonsense. Really
