The loathing for wide groups of people from countries with bad governments that include comrades and are mostly working class people get me a little bit. Americans are evil racists, Canadians are genocidal pigs that hide it better, Germans have nazism in their blood, Europeans are fascist scum, Hindu-Indians are far-right supremacists, British people are neo-colonial transphobes, South Koreans are socially backwards bootlickers, Japanese are atrocity denying fascist sympathizers, etc. etc.

I feel like using extreme general statements about working people is not only dumb but anti-materialism, it's like, you're implying certain groups of people are inherently more [x negative quality] because of the imaginary construct of a region they happen to be from? And people only get how this is bad when reactionaries stereotype Russians or people from anti-west states? Even when large swaths of a country are basically ignorant, that's just humans being shaped by their culture, environment, laws, material conditions

E.g. I didn't like the posts about how Germans fucking suck, are apparently prone to supporting Israel because of their genocide-conforming-skull-shape 80 years later, and should be lucky their people weren't wiped from the face of earth when most of my family are leftist anti-zionists in Germany

I also don't get the extreme hatred of everyday liberals, from my experience, most are naive but well-meaning. Like cmon, most of the people in your life and the people you care about would probably be (rightfully) banned from this site for liberalism
