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.

    Absolutely does actually

    One who is strongly partial to one’s own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.

    Intolerance of people from any country will always be bigotry, nothing you or I could do to change that regardless

      How are you unable to see that not at all the same? They’re using facts to show one country has done a LOT of bad towards the whole world, soecific countries even more so. That in no way is “strongly partial to one’s own group, religion, race, or politics”, it’s them being with all of the world other than the country in question who has objectively done the bad things. And it’s absolutely not “intolerant of those who differ”. It’s clear from your comments that you’re a brainwashed idiot but you clearly also have problems comprehending simple words.

        Yes I’m brainwashed as fuck because I think judging hundreds of millions of people for what 35% believes makes one a shitty bigot.

      Not having sympathy due to the government you guys elected is not the same as intolerance. Stop acting like a victim

        I’m not a victim, I didn’t lose my job and become homeless only to be mocked for my suffering even though I hated and opposed trump. (An actual thing that positively will become true.)

        I’m just an inconvenient truth teller for you all. There are no words you can say to justify mocking the suffering of innocent people which we all know will happen. We both know it and that these justifications are for making yourselves feel better. Good luck with that.

      But by your own definition of bigotry there’s none of that to be found in this thread. Sure, you could construe an intolerance of people from the US (even though it’s more like intolerance of their many years of harmful bullshit) but there’s absolutely no partiality toward any group. It’s purely frustration at the US and many of its citizens’ stubborn unwillingness to own up to the countless problems their country has caused across generations, let alone right now.

        I’m intolerant of the US in the same way someone might be lactose intolerant. When you find out, it doesn’t mean you immediately hate all dairy, you just have to start considering what items are worth the consequences.

        Ps is it “many years of harmful bullshit” that are going to be homeless because they lost their job? You all cannot defend this shit and you know what you are, you just think it’s justified because others are worse

          The holier-than-thou mentality really doesn’t hold up to any standard of practicality when it comes to relations between countries. No doubt people are struggling in the US, yet purely because of the fact that there are more people living outside of the US as opposed to within its territories, you better believe I’m going to be grateful when non-US folk are doing better than US ones, especially since it’s in spite of everything the latter has done.

          Plus a little schadenfraude for all the problems we’ve overcome and even improved ourselves through after the US sent them our way, it’s good for morale after all.

            It’s laughable how thin of a justification people need for being objectively shitty humans. You’re blocked.

              Using “objectively” and “shitty” one after the other is an interesting choice considering how morality is inherently subjective but I’m happy if you’re happy I guess
