one of my least favorite themes about the internet lately is non-american people complaining that americans are talking about american-centric issues on the internet and being like "nOt EvErYtHiNg ReVoLvEs ArOuNd YoU iDiOtS" and it's like. yeah buddy. that's why we didn't apply it to anywhere else in the world. we're talking about the specific issues we are facing as americans living in the states. the reading comprehension is atrocious

#like idk how to tell you that not every american you interact with is gonna be living a rich life in a mega mansion free from strife #the vast majority of us are living under a religious rule disguised as democracy with our own police force killing us in droves every day #your biased view of the states as this place with no pain and suffering is harmful and people are dying in our streets #and its always from these people who think they're communists who care about the collective good and i just. man. i don't understand #i don't understand the disconnect. we're a part of this conversation too the real issues we face are getting real people killed #especially when its coming from leftist non-americans to leftists americans. its like #you KNOW i don't support my country why are you berating me for talking about the real problems we're facing?#individual leftist americans don't make the policies that are killing other countries and i think those conversations are allowed to be two #separate entities without people screaming at us for talking about the atrocities we're facing just bc our government that we have lost #control of is doing things we do not consent or agree to #like fuck dude. americans are still PEOPLE #we are still SUFFERING #and to be clear this isn't to take away from suffering from anyone else this is specifically about when someone from the states complains #about something happening IN THE STATES and non-americans butt in to make a comment about it not being all about us like #baby WHAT #anyways whatever i'm tired i'm going to bed
