I don't think they are blaming all Americans they are just saying the rest of the world doesn't care about individuals as it's irrelevant when war comes. Don't take it personally but you are the enemy to them, after the war we don't associate innocenct civilians with the german war machine but during the war is different. You are basically an innocent civilian who never supported the rise of hitler in Nazi Germany right before ww2. Right now for them it's about safety and survival they don't have the time or the responsibility to care that it's not all Americans.

    Being incapable of separating suffering civilians from a fascist regime is myopic, tribalist, and only helps perpetuate more of the attitude that caused the US to be in the situation it is now.

    Nazis killed innocent Germans first. Most of the world didn't give a shit until they had solidified power enough at home to target other nations.

    I was born in Germany. I was there when the Berlin wall came down. That history was real for me.

    Our arbitrary borders mean nothing when we are all facing the global threat of fascism.

    Damn I guess you all blame the Jewish people and everyone else that got targeted just because they lived in Nazi Germany? Are you all fucking stupid?

    No im saying the people of Rotterdam should not be expected to have consciously seperate the good Germans and the Nazis as the city was being marched on. You seem to be intentionally misrepresenting what I said. Your country voted for all this and you are not some special person who should be seen as seperate from the rest of the Americans by the victims of America. I'm not saying you are to blame I'm saying the people of Greenland, Venezuela, and everyone else America is threatening aren't responsible for caring you didn't vote for trump.
