- drstewart 5mo agoAs a European, I apologise for this arrogant reply considering how awful Europe has been as an ally over the past 50 years. I promise we will do better and am glad that we're finally trying for once. Now let's see your introspection (:
- hyraki 5mo agoAs an American, Thank You
- danw1979 5mo agoI mean, I’m British and I’ve done a fair amount of introspection about the actions of my own government over the years. I guess I should have included that in my reply in case someone else thought I was being hypocritical ?

- myko 5mo agoWhen I was in the middle east as part of the US Army I really felt like my European friends had my back, no complaints here. Apologies the other way around, though.
- boredtofears 5mo agoI find the "self loathing american on the internet" act to be about as performative as putting a pink ribbon on your social media avatar after a shooting. It's not introspective in any meaningful way.
- ohrus 5mo agoI've seen that sentiment shared a couple of times in the past day and little else before. Just something I've noticed... I find the self loathing is usually well qualified and not at all a performative act. Performative for who exactly?
- boredtofears 5mo agoThe rest of the world, presumably
- Varelion 5mo agoAll I see on your timeline regarding us is blind sycophantic behavior. It's not self-loathing or sophomoric to recognize a point of policy or behavior that is not conducive to the wellbeing of global markets and wider well-being. We haven't been behaving in the best interest of the common good, or fellow Americans, nor even private interest for decades now and a little realization of that is just seeing objective reality.
- matthewfcarlson 5mo agoIt is entirely possible to recognize the things that are good about the US while also seeing the very terrible things. Nothing is perfect and if we tell ourselves it is by criticizing anyone who says otherwise, we are robbing not only the world but ourselves of any opportunity to make it better.
- righthand 5mo agoNo sophomoric and embarrassing is electing the same unqualified rapist pedophile moron back into power again.
- therealdrag0 5mo agoThat’s insulting to sophomores.
