The cancelling of the email account is not the reason. Its a very small part of the reason. The reason is that the US has for decades been fascist (as I have been saying in other threads, it didn't turn fascist overnight with the election of one man), imperialist, and generally a bully. As the UK was before it (and still is, apparent from their aid to the genociders), and as all empires have been and will be. It's always been fascist just been very good at biding it's time before "going public" with it, while working from the shadows to further its own agenda.

More hate leads to more wars, and we could do with less of those in the world. If you hate them, and brand them your enemy, you push them further away.

Be better than them. Be stronger than them. Educate them and show them how to improve. It's harder than hating them but ultimately more productive. Hate is easy.

Im not calling for war by any means, just saying theyre not allies. China/Russia arent allies, but that doesnt mean i want war with them. But I also dont want us to align ourselves with fascists, they have nothing good to offer, and it feels disgusting being associated with them in aby way, and hoping to regain our friendship with them.
