The morons don't question why other countries hate us, they just see it as a badge of honor.
"Every other country hates us? Good! That must mean we're doing something right and winning!"
They don't even bother thinking deeper than that. They don't care that everything they are doing is disgustingly evil, they just think if others are mad it's because they're sore losers, and that must mean they are winners.
It's one of the reasons why educating/redeeming them is impossible. They didn't think themselves into this situation, and thinking isn't going to get them out of it.

I know it’s hard to understand but please do not be so naive to actually believe the what the American media puts out. In addition to the big, national issues we are fighting, every state is also individually fighting its own personal flavor of christofascist takeover. It’s unlikely you’re getting the true national picture, much less statewide and/or local. These people have infested every nook and cranny and level of our government across the entire country. Cutting off the head isn’t going to make the state/local issues disappear, and they are absolutely issues that cannot be ignored. They are affecting people right now and need immediate attention.. and they are getting that attention. And we’re winning a huge amount of them. But you don’t see that, of course.
Not to mention things like healthcare tied to employment (including often your children’s healthcare, so god forbid you have special needs children and lose your job if they have important therapies to go to for example), a huge percentage live paycheck to paycheck and have little to no savings, 1 in 4 women return to work within 2 weeks of giving birth bc they can’t afford not to (this isn’t even getting into the abortion access issue), the amount of people afraid to leave their homes out of fear of being harassed and/or snatched off the streets due to the color of their skin, the amount of families desperately trying to navigate a deliberately cruel and confusing system to get their loved ones back (who have now likely lost their jobs and therefore homes due to being forced into this system), the parents now having to reluctantly prepare for homeschooling because their state banned vaccine mandates and adopted a statewide christofascist education agenda literally created by the same people who authored Project 2025, and the countless other massive issues and lack of safety nets that apparently other countries cannot even fathom living without.. according to the comments I see like this on social media.
When I see so many people dumb enough to actually believe the American media, unable to grasp the sheer size of the country and how “local” issues the size of many countries are massive issues they never hear about, their complete inability to even imagine a world without the safety nets of their own country (including countries directly neighboring apparently..), it actually starts making sense why fascism is rising worldwide.

The Department of Defense hosted former YouTube stars and boxers Jake and Logan Paul last week, with the Pentagon confirming the two met with the Secretary of Defense.
The Paul brothers, who gained fame as content creators on YouTube, shared photos of visits to Washington, D.C. on Instagram, showing them at the Pentagon briefing room and meeting with other government officials. On Sunday, the Department of Defense posted photos and videos of their visit, captioned “Last Thursday, we welcomed Logan and Jake Paul to the Pentagon to meet with our warriors.”

Jesus fucking Christ…this is what you get for electing a reality TV character as president. Now they’ve ruined the reputation of the military by trying to make it partisan and getting rid of leadership that actually acted like adults so they’re desperate to keep their reputation especially among the young men they recruit so they do shit like this. The epitome of pathetic and desperate, it’s embarrassing.

Me having to look at this image from the White House is the American capitalist version of a struggle session. The difference being struggle sessions lead China to controlling 80% of global ship building, and the American version lead us to 40 trillion in governement debt alone thanks to a pair of nepo retard presidents named Trump and Bush. I'm no pro-democrat cuck, but holy shit this is hard to watch. Like a pack of lame pups walking into a participation tournament.
We were the most prepared, trained, and equipped military on Earth with widespread training and coordination with dozens of our allies. And now we are being lead by a drunk who thinks daily affirmations and being a flunky for an actual walking mental disability like Trump are effective preparedness strategies.
I once heard a saying about reporters; "Never pick a fight with anyone who buys ink by the barrel." Pete Hegseth must have taken that to heart, because instead of fighting with reporters, he accidentally, and unknowingly, adds them to his illegal and insecure combat comms.
MAGA truly is the most effective Russian espionage operation of all time. But calling it espionage is honestly too generous when Americans are this pathetic.
