    Other than boycot, sold my american stocks at a loss, provoking cowards to act I can’t get in the shit hole country though.

    It’s not my country, but if it were, there’s a lot of unmarked graved here where nazi scum has rotted. There’s always room for more… Since americas president is threatening to invade my country’s territory, your fake ass opinion means nothing to me.

      So, something stands out to me here:

      Since americas president is threatening to invade my country’s territory, your fake ass opinion means nothing to me.

      Umm… what? What does the actions of the head of state have to do with the opinions of the people of said state? That doesn’t make any sense. That would be equivalent to me meeting a regular ass Russian person and saying “PUTIN IS DOING AN IMPERIALIST INVASION OF UKRAINE AND THREATENED TO NUKE MY COUNTRY, SO YOUR OPINION MEANS NOTHING TO ME!” The Russian people aren’t responsible for the things their government does. That’s why I always make sure to be accurate in pointing out that it’s Putin and the oligarchs doing the imperialism, not [all] Russians. I meet a Russian actively supporting Putin and his imperialist ambitions? Yeah, fuck that guy, then. But, in my personal experience, I have yet to meet a single Russian person IRL that didn’t fucking hate Putin. It’s almost as if people have lives independent of their state of residence and those that run that state.

      So maybe redirect your anger at those who earned it? Something tells me that might be more constructive than directing your anger at random people for arbitrary reasons.

        I know that I should have sympathy for all the americans too scared and/or stupid to act. Same with Russians.

        I have been raised to believe that if you have a dictator taking your democracy and killing people, and you’re not fighting in a way that actually matter, you might as well be helping them.
