American hypocrisy

[brazilspill]

I keep ping ponging between being highly entertained at the Americans' reactions about Qatar getting an army base in the US and being utterly livid.

Oh, you don't like a foreign power having an army base in your country?

Now maybe you'll get a taste of how it feels for everyone else to have American bases in their countries.

They say "unpatriotic" when America's racism is protested.

They say "patriotic" when some want-to-be dictator wants to overthrow our democracy

Love thy neighbor they said, while looking down on anyone poorer then themselves, while selling their soul to corporations and capitalists who will never uphold the interests of the working class, while casting out or shunning anyone that isn’t rich, able bodied, cisgender, heterosexual, and white, while plugging their ears and closing their eyes to anyone who dare contradict their very shallow and self righteous view point.

And then saying that those who don’t look down on others, those who try to shop mostly in their local communities or try to lower their waste output, those who try and hear all people’s stories especially from people who aren’t rich, able bodied, cisgender, heterosexual, or white, those who refuse to shun away people who are oppressed simply for being in those communities, those who put their differences aside and try have a discussion with someone even if they disagree on some points, saying that those people are the unreasonable ones, the people who would fight and protest for your rights and freedoms even if you won’t, those people who, despite your political differences, would stand up for you in court and defend your words if you were a victim or survivor and nobody cared to believe you or hear your words, those people who would put themselves between you and the man with a gun, those people who would talk to and deescalate the gun man so nobody gets hurt, those people who are constantly trying to progress and improve themselves and their moral compass, those people are somehow what’s wrong with society? those people are something to be ashamed of? People who just want the best outcome for everyone, people who want to give you the right to choose what you want for your future. People who want you to succeed in life so they give you every opportunity, people who try to educate and inform you to the best degree that they possibly can, with the most recent factual information available, people who want to make healthcare accessible to all walks of life without having anyone having to worry if they can pay it off, people who want you to feel at peace and comfortable in your own body, these are the people we should cut out of society?

When did we get to this idea that somehow having empathy and compassion, sensitivity and respect, showing gratitude to the less fortunate and giving people not just equality, but most importantly equity, is negative? When did we as a species become so dependent on hating, and more specifically, hating those who we deam “different” “abnormal” “weird” or “cringe”?

You gotta love watching Americans whine that everyone is lumping them together with their government after two years of watching them do the exact same thing to Israelis. But I thought 'settler colonial' states should be destroyed and everyone in it deserved to die bc they're guilty by association just by virtue of living there???? Could it be that Americans think they deserve to be treated better than how they treat others? Surely not!
