    Your comment only proves my point. This whole “liberal” being used in a derogatory way because you al think we should speak like Americans, and if you’re a liberal so what? I’m not an idiot who thinks a liberal is the same thing as maga, I have nuance. I am far more left than you but again proving my point, i disagree with you so therefore I must be maga right? You guys want no allies anymore, and then you cry that nobody takes your side. The American left has become extremists, and just as toxic as the right but in the opposite way

      Dude, liberals are people who support and idealise capitalism. They are right wing. It’s like that around the world. It’s not “talking like Americans”. On the contrary, people from the US confuse what’s left and what’s liberal a lot. That’s a nuance to be aware of.

        I can pull definitions of words out of my ass too. I can come up with quite a few for Americans. Funny thing is im indigenous and I have never experienced so much racism and intolerance from the left as I have this past election. My native ass getting lectured by middle class white kids about privilege and colonialism and genocide while they call me all sorts of horrible names for calling out their hypocrisy. Y’all loved and still benefit from the raping you gave my country and people, but lord forbid anyone call you Americans out for it.

        The American left has reached a point where they think they are a bigger minority than actual minorities, and they are above the guilt of the system they live in just cause they grudge it while participating in it. The American left thinks they are above racism and bigotry, while practicing it. “All that horrible shit, that’s republicans! See so im not responsible! I can’t possibly be ignorant! I went to college and I put down people who didn’t regularly!” Is all the American left is now

          I’m not sure if you are, directly criticizing me, or if that comment is more generally about the experiences you had. I have never even visited the US.

          I’m sorry that you have to face all that racism.
