    Doubling down on the permissibility of nationalism for a country that’s committed atrocity after atrocity is a shitty thing to do point blank period

      Nah dawg I’m not going to say death to America regardless of what you say. I will hold that using a phrase like that is ignorant, privileged, harmful and stupid. To give a real answer, my family came here from Syria and Ireland. In both instances to escape violence and persecution. I consistently work to better my community and am able to do so. I regularly act to make tangible improvements on a community level, unfortunately I don’t have the power/resources to do so on a global level. I don’t like a lot of the foreign policy the United States employs. However, I disagree with you on a fundamental and spiritual level to a degree that can’t be put to words.

        “How dare you condemn the genocidal imperialist US! Don’t you know that I, personally, benefit from it?”

          Thats true I am the only one to have benefitted historically. I can disagree with foreign policy without saying death to America.
