This is a global platform. Unfortunately, the world is tied to American politics and economics. When Americans on the whole fuck up, the world suffers, look at 2008.

Not every fucking American caused this shit and I'm tired of the ignorant sentiment that I somehow did.

Sure, I really understand the feeling. I was born in the UK which did some fairly horrible shit for years in a time where the vast majority of people had basically no control of anything, but you still get shit daily online. Grow a thicker skin or live in a bubble.

LOL. i am german. thats not how that works. i am born way after the war and cant remember a vacation without anyone mentioning the war.

Just think about how all those folks that mentioned it somehow thought they were immune.

Whatever you do, DON'T mention the war. I did once but I think I got away with it.

[–] yournamehere@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Did you not pay taxes for your government to screw up the rest of the world?

[–] FuckFascism@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Yes next time let me just not pay taxes and go to federal prison instead, silly me.

"I was just following orders!"

Your tax money pays for the drones

Y'all know that is automatically deducted from paychecks, right? I guess we should just starve.

Were you forced to stay in the US or did the benefits just outweigh the guilty conscience

You really think a minimum wage worker can afford a plane ticket? You're a joke.
