Usually I am sympathetic towards people losing their jobs. However, that goes out the window when their government is hostile and I am watching family struggle due to the trade war.

    You can dress it up any way you like, delighting in innocent people’s suffering makes you unequivocally a huge asshole and always will.

      So all the USians celebrating that Russia is cut off from Western trade and SWIFT, and that its economy is failing, are huge assholes?

      Maybe those innocent people should haul a guillotine down to DC and loudly complain to those responsible for this mess instead of pointing fingers at other countries.

      Y’all get no sympathy from me. Take care of your fuckong fascism problem. The second amendment is useful for more than shooting children in classrooms.

        Yes let us justify our disgusting behavior by grouping in innocent people with others. Feels like there’s a name for that. Hmm.

      Ever heard of realpolitik? Being righteous doesn’t matter on a geopolitical scale, especially not when it comes to an imperial superpower currently in the midst of its death throes. I’m afraid you’ll have to come to terms with billions of people understandably revelling in hundreds of years of a country’s utter nonsense finally returning itself to sender. Might be irrational, but it’s definitely not without precedent.

          Mhm… I’m sure you have some solid reasoning for that claim that you’re withholding for good cause and not for a complete lack of substance.

            But you’re not an asshole because the very shitty belief you have is part of a bigger picture, or something. Pathetic.
