I’m aware that the role of the US on the international stage is often not that of the good guys, but I’m not sure how you could argue that USAID and taking care of injured veterans are not examples of empathy.
Keep in mind that there are voters in the US who think that we should take care of our veterans, but somehow agree with Musk when he says empathy is bad. I think it’s important to show those people some examples of empathy that they would support.
The left in the US is broadly so “america bad” that they’ve thrown away their only shred of actual political capital, nationalism, which can well be expressed through desire to actually make America less bad and have a country worth having pride in.
I know we’re pretty far from a country that anyone with half a brain can feel pride in, but our bigger problem is that the bulk of the population has less than half a brain so we need to work within their worldviews.
As long as the left can’t stop lecturing and shaming, we’re going to keep losing ground to people who know how to validate and appease liberal sensibilities.
edit: cry harder, you threw away the flag and America’s actual political capital: the midwit working class liberal masses, they look at you burning the flag that keeps them comfortable, then look at the right-wing nutfucks praying to the flag that keeps them comfortable and says “Hmn, I think I know who has my back.” You have legitimate reasons to hate America, but as Americans we have the responsibility to figure out how to push the country towards a better future. We haven’t done that in a remotely intelligent way. Again, look at what the current state of things are. We are fighting for a country nobody believes we even want. What power is there in that? You kids need to understand power on a much more practical and realistic level.
If you take that kind of persecution complex away from this conversation instead of realizing that we need to rethink our approach and work on finding actual political power, you do deserve all the blame.
well maybe I have a persecution complex because my country was literally mentioned by your orange ass after Venezuela’s invasion
but thanks for blaming me a mexican living next to the new nazis I guess it is pretty spot on for a US citizen to assume what everyone else needs to do
Get the chip off your shoulder when talking to adults, I hope the country I live in but don’t represent manages to get its shit together and they don’t do the bad things they want to do to you. You need to understand who your friends and enemies are here. I won’t see a reply, take a walk and blow off some steam.

imagine looking at all the shit your country has done (way before trump too) and blaming the left for it
you can’t make this shit up
some people really can’t figure it out until the facists come for them, it seems
