The principle remains: judge the group for its collective behavior, but don't stereotype the individual.

america, the collective group, is treating the world as an enemy… the only way we can deal with this is to treat the collective group also as an enemy, for the most part

if you think that’s unfair, well, congratulations imagine how canada, europe, australia (who has a trade surplus and still has tariffs because apparently we have to make up the deficit for the rest of the world) feels about the situation

we are angry, every american should be angry, and come time for the next election EVERY SINGLE ANERICAN needs to FEEL like the world is angry AT THEM so that this time they FUCKING VOTE rather than spewing apathetic “both sides” bullshit

"Don't assume a specific individual isn't among the 30% who tried" isn't a "both sides" argument. Neither is there any pragmatism in proactively excluding someone who might already be your ally, nor in purity testing those who wish to be.

No matter how angry you are today, that anger will fade. I hope your decisions are being driven by something more steadfast.
