@the_walrusxx@fredsgunn@cobelussy Spies, criminals, and vampires have been played by various nationalities. Even though Dracula actually has real history, it became what it did with Bram Stoker. Who was Irish. Again, separate from the Cold War fears inspiring all stories with the Russian spies & espionage.
@MaikiYdl@aragornpilled So then do what you can to help in your own country if you aren’t able or just won’t. Being like “but ain’t no WAY I’m flying there,” your whole comment is just useless.
@citizen_mask & the amount of Europeans right now holding shit against America, desperate to blame us for all the problems of the world,but blatantly lying & denying their own country’s dark pasts/current issues too shows ignorance on their part.+they also speak on places they haven’t gone to.
@citizen_mask And my parents literally spent a month traveling around Australia and New Zealand last winter. Our winter. So stop trying to claim we don’t travel & learn, & try anything outside of our own borders.
@citizen_mask The same can be said of other countries/nationalities who decide what the US is like based on what they hear, repeat from media & online from afar, & don’t ever admit it either. I’ve seen it from Brits & Europeans who just perpetuate stereotypes & generalizations.
@crystalclearies You’re acting like every American is rich and can just fly off to wherever, whenever. Like no, some of us can not afford that, and have to work, and save to travel. Even within the country, it’s ridiculously expensive.
@jeynecent@soyakais Which is why Americans are calling out hypocrisy.We obviously have racists & bigots, but don’t come with the moral superiority, start holding us accountable for our dark history, use Trump to vilify an entire country, & then blatantly deny your own country’s sins, past & present.
@Maplexter@soyakais Weird, because that’s exactly what people do every single day to Americans, then get pissed and act like victims when we turn the tables on them.
@Mingoobies They also want to be like “no you’re just American,” because I wasn’t born there. Ok? Well I never claimed to be born in the countries of my ancestors. For being so superior in education, they are conflating nationality with ancestry. I’m also well aware I’m not Native American.
@Aequanimitas99@supesbutch +not everyone in the US is Trump & his followers.We actually don’t all deny slavery & the treatment of Native Americans. You guys want to come on here & blame the US for every little thing, & there’s more than one place w/current social, political problems, & human rights issues.
@Aequanimitas99@supesbutch We can talk about both the sins of every country’s dark, colonial pasts, & then still talk about the current events, and fucked up shit countries do to each other today.Which by the way, the US is not the only place with both.
@Halfemptyhearts@sunnysaturn134 Oh but next you’ll all turn around and say no you’re just Americans, because you conflate nationality and ancestry, but now you acknowledge a lot of us have Scottish, as well as Irish heritage?
@macabremotif + I never once said America was the center of the world, and I’m American.I was actually mocking the people who cry about smoking, & get offended at that.They should just never walk around the cafes &shit, because they will be pissed off that there’s people smoking all the time.
