i keep seeing various posts arguing basically for anti-anti-americanism, claiming that all negative sentiment towards americans in general (particularly for their economic privileged) is inherently classist, because poor americans exist. first of all, don't you think that the reason why some people hate america is because they just spent the past 30 years getting bombed by american planes, or perhaps because their labor is hyperexpolited because their only option for a job is some american company that pays them pennies to make cheap garbage products that the company sells for cheap to americans (who themselves probably can't afford anything better). and they're probably extremely frustrated by the utter failure of the white american labor movement, which was rendered ineffective because the white american proletariat would rather ally themselves with capital for the material benefits it grants (or granted, things are changing pretty quick in the usa rn hopefully increasing poverty and lowering economic stability will finally foster class consciousness, hopefully!) than ally themselves with indigenous and other non-white labor movements. Anyway, my point is just that people are justified to hate americans. the internet is so americanized that hyperbolic hatred of americans online is an understandable reaction, especially given how little americans seem to understand about their position as part of the labor aristocracy. All I'm asking for is americans to just shut up when people complain about them online, like chill maybe
