    because they’ll say something bad about my country and go “ha! see? your country is not perfect and therefore mine doesn’t evenhave to be good”

    they argue like spoiled kids

      No, because I’d almost certainly get to point out that your government is still closely allied and largely supportive of the US government, both economically and politically, up to and including the aggression in Iran, and odds in favor of supporting our genocide in Palestine too. And that the outcry of Europeans to detach from our nascent reich pales in comparison to it’s resistance from domestic Americans, to a degree that suggests you’re all but comfortable and complicit with that alliance. And you’re angry at yourself and feeling guilty that you’re afraid to demand forcefully from your own government that they drop support for us, so you redirect that guilt and anger toward actual Americans on the internet. Pull your weight, do your part. Quit barking at me like a vassal dog while I pull mine.

        lol I’m from Canada… we stopped going to your country, stopped buying anything you make and bush our shitty politicians to stop paying attention to your pedophile in chief

        Canada has reacted and pressured the USA economically harder than you with your weekend protests

        Get off your ass and do something that matters while you still can… you are NOT the victim here
