Isn't that like saying all Americans are evil because our president is a piece of trash?

[–] subOrange@lemmy.world 39 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Well, yes, thanks for the reminder!

Ey guys, before you go buying or using some USA software, make sure they don’t support or have ties with the Trump administration!

[–] Bohne93@feddit.org 25 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Fun fact, the US was already a warmongering shit stain long long before trump.

Fun fact, so was every other nation in the world that ever fancied itself important enough to compete with others. America is just the latest bully to come out on top.

Well yeah, since its conception. Idk how much my perception of when Europeans became "Americans" is synonymous with historians, but.. After the Europeans vastly destroyed the American population and took the name for themselves, Americans used violence to secede from English command. Iirc it was started by a plainclothes soldier shooting a soldier, starting a massacre.

I have been boycotting american products since they voted a pedo in office.

You ae not alone.

Regardless of your actual politics, we're still funding MAGA shit because we're too poor to dodge our taxes. So I fully support people boycotting American businesses, same as with any business based in other countries doing evil shit.

I know i'm fully nitpicking in bad faith here, but which are the countries not doing evil shit ? There probably are a few that are mostly good, but even those are quite rare, aren't they ?

[–] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

shrugs The various Pacific island nations probably don't have any fuckery going on, even if only because they lack the ability. Or if they do, they're too small to be obvious about it, which I'll admit is probably as good as it gets.

The majority of you voted for him, so it's fair to assume a majority of you are like him, yes.

[–] gilokee@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

*the majority of old idiots voted for him

[–] gressen@lemmy.zip 3 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

No. you made a jump from not knowing a stance of a single person to attributing evil to an entire nation.

[–] Viceversa@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Because need to know the stance of a single person implies attributing evil to his whole nation.
