      I ain’t American but I don’t believe a whole group of people deserves that kind of shade.

        The people don’t. The whole American Exceptionalism thing – which I was raised to believe by the Colorado and California public education systems, and remain sore about the countless deceptions intrinsic in its ideology – can fuck off right to Hell.

            That’s like genocidal talk man

            America is big and diverse. Stating all are the same is ignorance, of which the commenter likely thinks he isn’t. Hell, go to NYC and the public bathrooms by the Brooklyn bridge have like 12 languages. I’ve experienced so much of this prejudice ignorance ilk working and living abroad as an American; judging those who are prejudice with equal prejudice themselves, unaware of it and self-righteous, yet showing their true self to anyone who can see.

            The amount of Europeans who have denied me entry to their bar or restaurant, or ridiculed me, or harassed, without even knowing my name, or where in America I’m from, or what I support, and actively fight… You don’t want to alienate the Americans working to keep at bay the fascist takeover. The slander right off the bat. It’s just gross… If you think you’re better, BE BETTER.
