Not just hate, we have seen repeated, glaring, public proof that America's leadership is

  • Weak
  • Dishonorable 
  • Cowardly 
  • Hypocritical 
  • Uneducated 
  • Racist
  • Compulsive liars
  • Almost broke

There's more but they start to sound like synonyms after a few hundred.

Also rapists and pedos. Murderers. Cannibals.

While not the entire list, that applies not to just MAGA but to the Democrats as well. We're ruled over by conservative parties and wealthy elite.

[-] cv_octavio@piefed.ca 3 points 1 day ago

I don't distinguish my disdain for your ruling class by party affiliation. They are all awful. 

Know what, that's more than fair. Even inside it's getting harder to distinguish the two.

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Not for nothing. Trump and his friends made butt loads of money!!! And any day that money is going to come trickling down to the average Joe just like it's supposed to... any day now.

Ahh, here it comes now! Oh wait, that's just the same sewage.

When it's not working, it's working.

Not that equalising the trade deficit would actually make everyone's lives better in any way because it's a stupid metric to be concerned with.

It's like being concerned at the supermarket never buys anything off you. If you voice that opinion in public people would think you were weird.

But think how much money it all made for mysterious shareholders! /s

[-] Vespair@lemmy.zip 21 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I can't keep watching people act surprised about this.

Trump's administration is not trying to successfully accomplish anything. The sole and entire point is to hurt America at the behest of foreign interests. Making the world hate us is the point.

[-] hamid@crazypeople.online 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Oh yeah it is the "foreign interests" harm you and not your own shit hole corrupt criminal settler society. You are doing this shit to yourselves because the US has always been an illegitimate genocidal settler society. You are the bad guys, stop blaming other people for your failures.

[-] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Well if you want to cast stones we learned it from corrupt criminal colonial Europeans who were doing it first. Europe is full of illegitimate genocidal settler societies. You are the bad guys. Stop blaming other people for your failures.

Sounds pretty fucking stupid right?

[-] hamid@crazypeople.online -1 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

I am neither American nor European. Fuck Europe. It is the origin of all the most horrible shit on earth and has no right to exist and prosper on the wealth extracted from the global south.

[-] Vespair@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Nuance. Two things can be true. We are doing this to ourselves, but not in a vacuum. And if you want to destroy a house, the best way isn't to send a man with a hammer, it's to give the kids inside a soccer ball and tell them their parents said "play ball!"

Countless terrible groups and people have been set loose with their own individual agendas and goals, yes, but that's as part of a greater plan whose only goal is to harm America and its interests and allies.

There's plenty of blame to share, I promise.

[-] hamid@crazypeople.online -1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

There is no nuance here. It is pure projection. Your shithole yank government is the one with military bases around the world and regularly destroy other countries. You are not being manipulated by Russia or foreign governments, you are being manipulated by American born and raised billionaire Nazi's that are 100% pure American. Stop blaming other people for your failings. The idea that you are under attack is pure fiction cooked up by your literally evil masters to justify their horrific politics and violence. America's interests are and have always been violence, exploitation and extraction.

A statement wise and truthful people say all the time

[-] limelight79@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Well, that, and to enrich himself and his regime.

[-] Vespair@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 days ago

When you hire pirates to attack a ship, you expect a little looting.

[-] Hikermick@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I visited one of my customers yesterday, a metal anodizing plant. Only the owner was there, he told me they had no orders to fill and that he hadn't seen anything like this since 2008

[-] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 166 points 2 days ago

In all fairness, half the world hated you before. Now you just managed to convince the other half they were right.

[-] shane@feddit.nl 3 points 1 day ago

I listen to a military podcast and they seem surprised that the US threatening to invade another NATO country was such a big deal for Europeans. 🙈

[-] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

And also a LOT of Americans.

[-] RidderSport@feddit.org 62 points 2 days ago

The other half being your friends and allies though.

So basically you've been a POS the entire time but had some nice aspects to your character that you showed exlusively around your friends and family, but that facade you've now also dropped which made even them hate you.

[-] bus_factor@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago

Let's not pretend that the allies liked the US before either. The US has been side-eyed by all of the developed world since at least the W. Bush era. It's been more of a "that dude is a bully, but smile and nod and he'll hopefully steal someone else's lunch money instead of ours, and maybe Russia will think we're friends and not steal our lunch money either". Now he's teaming up with Russia and going after everyone's lunch money.

[-] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 27 points 2 days ago

As a Canadian, the US was like a brother; maybe a bit rough around the edges bit still a close family bond. Now, it's like the brother has a meth addiction and stole a bunch of your stuff. There's a deep sense of betrayal that will last decades, assuming he goes into rehab and attones and doesn't completely ruin things forever.

Untrue. We paid extra to fund tax breaks for billionaires while food prices tripled and 1,206,374 people were laid off in order to keep those record profits going.

The good news is all that money you paid Is going straight out of the governments coffers and back to corporations with no obligation to pay you back.

Oh, also, you have a new hundred billion dollar hole in your budget because that was to pay for the billionaires tax cuts.

[-] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 49 points 2 days ago

I lost my job because of cuts in May. I haven't been able to find full time employment since. I'm not sure I'm going to recover.

The thing is, in any somewhat sane and precedented administration, the argument could reasonably have been made that some economic struggles, even a year in, were largely due to polices of the previous administration.

The problem with this administration is, they literally did everything possible to fuck the economy up, pretty much from day one. Nearly every decision was a bad decision, which had specific and obvious ramifications on the economy. Chaos. Clown show. Chain saw. The current administration owns this shitty economy. They could have litterally sat around twiddling their thumbs doing absolutely nothing but eat hamburders and drink covfefe and the economy would be doing orders of magnitude better than it is now. Instead they decided tariffs and firings and tax cuts to the ultra rich were in order. So now this is all their fault. 100%.

If it helps any, we don't hate Americans, by and large. We pity you. It's your leaders we hate.

[-] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Nope. I am disgusted by Americans do-nothing cowardice. Anyone not taking direct action in 2026 is complicit.

How do you have a trade surplus in a consumer society? How do people not see how stupid the trade deficit excuse is? Are Americans that uneducated?

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

most people dont take classes that go this deep in economy, or even economy courses. its too keep people ignorant.

[-] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

So the answer is yes.

[-] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 37 points 2 days ago

The rapists and their followers got richer though, and more authoritarian regimes are coming along nicely while cooperation and peace are suppressed

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago

We still got years more of this shit ahead of us too!

[-] durably465@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 days ago

Making everyone hate USA for peanuts. Priceless
