Not “people”, MAGA’s and GOP voters.
Except they don’t make any effort to not blame foreigners.
Americans complaining about the chinese and russian interference, and meanwhile every year there is a fucking american CPAC (Conservative Action Political Conference) celebrated in my country full of treachourous rethoric and direct foreign intervention. I wish my government had all these gringo leeches sent to a camp and their traitor collaborators put on trial.
America would do the same if China or Russia was making political conventions up there.

Nah, all foreign operatives are welcome to contribute to American politicians. And really - it’s not even a joke. Between Citizen’s United (which allows corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money influencing elections) and crypto (who do you think was buying Trump’s coin?!), our politicians don’t complain about interference - they cash in on it.
I believe you talk out of your ass like that as an American because you are not really aware of all the abusive influence your country exercises in the rest of the world and especially the global south.
You believe citizens united and crypto are a bug in the system? My friend America is a bunch of corporations in a trench coat, the point is to make money not serve it’s people. You were led to believe this bunch of bull about democracy and freedom and in the end the whole neoliberal cycle of abuse was bound to come back and bite you on the ass.
And still it is not even a fraction of all the pain and destruction america has caused all over the world, i am hoping someday it comes back to you guys full force.
As an American, I find it ridiculous that people from my home town, population <2000, are complaining of imagrants, while living on a Native American Reservation. They speak as if the migrants escaping atrocities, are bringing thier “3rd world” here.
My experience with migrants are they nice people and often bring some interesting food along with them. The closeness thing to “ethnic food” the people spouting this non sense have ever had is Taco Bell.
To be fair, immigrants kinda ruined this place starting in 1492.
kicks off with two back-to-back turf wars while blap-blapping all the bystanding public. Does it with slaves
It’s the Russians spreading propoganda and making people racist trust me!
Outside of news media, I dont really ever hear this. Then again I dont have any magats in my life.
I learned early on immigrants uplift their communities, and we have both emperical and ancidontal evidence to support this.
Sorry for my spelling, the app im using now doesnt seem have any spell check. I either did spell correctly, or I was so wrong my phone offered no other suggestions.
I hear it from the few liberals in my life who think Russia has immense influence on Trump and the current state of our country is therefore Russia’s fault. I hear it from people of many ideologies who push the “Zionist occupied government” rhetoric to avoid confronting our states track record of being a genocidal monster and our power over the Israeli state. Of course I also hear it from fascists who blame various minorities for their financial troubles. It’s very common. I’d argue most politically aware Americans passively subscribe to one of these beliefs if not actively but this is just my subjective experience.
I don’t see the contradiction. I can hear this from many people in my life and believe it to be a common issue while not applying it to every American and feeling hatred towards them (as the other user I was engaging with was suggesting)
The term most politically aware americans means >50% of the political aware American people. In its most loosely applied manner this could be less than 50% of all American people even making it a minority.
The meme implies that this is a behavior exhibited by all Americans, making it hyperbolic.
I could have given that person a more developed and honest response but I didn’t feel it would be productive at all so I didn’t bother wasting my energy.
More than a few seem to be caused by South Africans and Israelis to be fair.
Oh fuck off already. The general US hate on Lemmy is fucking ridiculous, especially given those of us on this platform don’t share the hateful rhetoric in the least.
Hate the admin. Hate the minority of morons who blindly support their bullshit. All the general hate for all US citizens does is show ignorance of the situation we face here.
What is the hate here? The meme is making fun of the tendency of USians to blame immigrants for every problem they face. This is not spun out of nowhere.
The culture of the US is a product. It is designed to be apathetic if not hateful towards the enemies of the state and intentionally developed to misguide the populous. US culture is systematically created by the business owning class who recognizes that pointing the US population’s understandable ire over their own destitution at foreigners is in their interest. I can hate that fascimile of a culture without hating the people who have fallen victim to it. My enemy is not the American people but the American people are taught to believe I am their enemy.
Tankie bullshit. Awesome. You still profess general hatred of all US citizens and can go fuck yourself courtesy of the large portion of the population who support immigrants and understand that this country was formed by immigrants and depends on them as well.
If you truly believed the shit you just posted you wouldn’t have posted this meme.
The meme is expressing is general frustration that I commonly experience when engaging fellow Americans in political discourse. It is undeniable that it is very common for Americans to blame their problems on foreign nations or peoples. The meme does not express hatred of the general American population and I am uncertain where you got that idea. If you could elaborate I would appreciate that. Believe it or not a 14 word meme meant to vent frustration does not express the full complexity of my political and social views.
It is literally stating that all Americans hate foreigners. You’re bloody delusional.
Have you never heard of hyperbolic humor? It’s a fucking meme dumbass
