Add the South African dude who was slashing our government and stealing our data.
Americans have been trained to hate foreigners by Fox News, owned by a foreigner.

Surprisingly tolerant of a literal foreigner stealing all of their personal records.

Murdoch is certainly AU’s worst export product to date.

Yeah but he's a white foreigner, that's different... but you know, it's totally not racism...

Americans (the European land robbing ones) used to lynch black people as a past-time well before Fox News became a thing.

You are describing both the Fox target demographic, and the attitude that Rupert Murdoch wanted to foster and grow.

Billionaires and reactionaries have no state.

Billionaires and reactionaries are the state. They are the ones who created it in order to control others for power and out of fear of what they don’t understand, respectively.
People need to abandon it and unite under our own social structures that aren’t built on the ruling class’ hierarchy of wealth and perceived status.

Americans love that global capital telling them how to feel, they larp it in earnest as if i is part of their identity and politics

Stupid people are universal though. Every country has them. In the US they have been weaponized. Many of us are very much opposed to the stupidity.

This is a very common hypocrisy among first gen US immigrants. I’m a good Irish, not like those dirty ones coming over now; we should keep them out.

Pulling the ladder up behind you is an American tradition!

Or “I might be Irish, but at least I’m not an Italian” to not make yourself look better, but to make the others look worse
