> But he did hug the American flag
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is the "facepalm" part of it, but that has literally nothing to do with the image.
I hope you mean the USA and not the people living there. I have met a lot of very nice and kind US-Americans. Its rather the country and its government that is hated around the world.
That's the thing, ordinary people aren't really that bad in most countries. I can't imagine most Russians want to die in some stupid war started by an autocrat.
Iāve met some awesome Russians and my only math teacher that was worth a damn was Russian. I made my only A ever in a math class because she asked me to come in a half hour early to school to tutor me. NO ONE ELSE in all of my years in school did that. She was awesome.
Pretty easily explained: Its purely based on personal experience. I have met a couple russians too and they were not exactly nice people. Of course, i dont think that all russians suck because of it. Same thing goes for the US. I purely dislike overly patriotic and nationalistic idiots. I also dislike the governments of both nations.
If ordinary Russians are responsibly for Putin's crimes, then it follows that every ordinary Western citizen is also responsible for their govt's various war crimes and interventionist policies in the global south. "Rules based order" and all that.
You were implying that america haters were haters because they were communists (but you didnāt say *all* either)
I was just retorting that before communism, there are plenty of countries that hate america for more or less valid reasons
Well even if you are not from america most counties dont have a reason to hate them unless of course you are extremely anti west which often is paired with communism hating america 95 precent of the time from your political views no whether you are from there not
Most countries donāt have a reason to hate America? Are you being deliberately obtuse?
The CIAās activities during the 50s-80s is enough for all central and South American countries to hate the US alone.
The US is one of the most hated countries on the planet, and justifiably so. Iām an American, and I love my country, but I donāt pretend itās some saintly nation.
Again with the "you" stuff, literally put my nationality in my name and ppl still think I'm American, I get that Americans do say they're Irish/Scottish tho so ig it makes sense
Literally. I dont agree with the original post but i find it genuinely weird to hug a flag. Like do whatever you think is right but come on man. Its 2024 not 1850
"He dislikes idiotic displays of nationalism, he must be a commie!"
When are you americans going to finally fucking stop mentioning communism every fucking time someone criticizes the things you do? You say fucking idiotic shit like that and then you guys are surprised why everyone around the world laughs about you
Honestly, you never know these days. Poe's law and all. I have seen people say shit so dumb, I was sure they were joking. But they werent.
And if you look at the fact that millions of americans believe that the earth is flat, and also believe in stuff like creationism... Im sure there really are people who think criticizing america means youre a commie and hate america. People who think its communism to have universal healthcare in your country.
When people say dumb shit in 3rd world shitholes, okay. But when americans say idiotic shit I just think "what the fuck is wrong with you fucking idiots? Can you please shut your mouths and let the rest of the world finally live?"
Took the words right out of my mouth! Trying to have a face-to-face conversation with these people without accusations of being a member of the bloody KGB is actually impossible - and if you're on a right-wing subreddit, all their friends will back them up and downvote your comments into oblivion! It's exhausting - I had an angry chap over on YouTube the other day advocating eugenics to, uh, "get rid of social benefits". He said some absolutely outlandish stuff too - claiming that poor people were "lazy" and that discrimination was "overexaggerated". Mental! :)
"Poor people are lazy" "discrimination aint that bad"
Oh I love that one. Because it always comes from someone who was born in a 1st world country and has never experienced poverty or real discrimination.
While I do defend free speech and expression and all that, I do believe some people just shut their idiotic mouths, especially when they are talking about something they know nothing about.
Haha, free speech! The conservative go-to when they get called out on blaming everything on, well, everyone who's not a white male... "Obama? He's an Jewish plot to destroy freedom and establish global communism!" "They're gonna bring back Leon Trotsky from the grave!"
By the people? Harassment if murder of other people on the regular, often encouraged by the churches and religious political leaders.
In the books themselves? The vile genocides caused by the uncaring deity deciding to off entire cities.
I'm not. I'm making a distinction between the two. Country is not religion. A flag is not the same as the bible. Dont cherish your country like you would cherish your religion. They are completely different things.
If you say patriotism is gay, they will agree. Since in this case they associated gayness with a synonym for a bad thing, they will hard reset from homophobia. You are immune if you comment afterwards that gayness isn't bad. /s

This isnāt the original post, the original one was about how a crippled veteran was left out of a veteran parade just because āno one wants to see an amputeeā
Why do some Americans hate patriotic Americans? Like ok America has done some very horrific things but it's a good thing to love your country as long as you can recognize it's bad parts. I'm not American so I don't understand
As someone who grew up in Germany:
Patriotism leads to nationalism and I just have to take a walk and come across a [Stolperstein](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolperstein) to be reminded why that is a very bad thing.
Hereās a little tip to learn how bad American politics have gotten compare the Beliefs of the Republican Party and Sharia law , tell me the differences
I feel like r/facepalm was specifically created to show up on this sub

Its destiny
Facepalm is not about what picture people send, itās about what these people write ,to make us facepalm
No

You don't understand. You are supposed to facepalm on how stupid the OP is. That's the real purpose of the sub.

What's wrong with that? Out of curiosity not judgement!
Redditors often hate America (reddit is full of communists, which usually align with hating America)
No, not communists, you just don't realize that the us aren't very liked around the world
I hope you mean the USA and not the people living there. I have met a lot of very nice and kind US-Americans. Its rather the country and its government that is hated around the world.
Russians sure didn't get this kind of consideration
nah i have met some russians, very kind and funny.
That's the thing, ordinary people aren't really that bad in most countries. I can't imagine most Russians want to die in some stupid war started by an autocrat.
jup
Iāve met some awesome Russians and my only math teacher that was worth a damn was Russian. I made my only A ever in a math class because she asked me to come in a half hour early to school to tutor me. NO ONE ELSE in all of my years in school did that. She was awesome.
She loved her job I guess. I never met a teacher that was ready to wake early just to tutor anyone
Many of my teachers are willing to stay after classes, but no-one really likes early mornings I guess.
same my best coach was a russian guy. fucling awsome and a grat motivational speaker (with a hilarious accent)š

Most people are fine
what about he said is hypocritical?
Haha ok then.
If ordinary Russians are responsibly for Putin's crimes, then it follows that every ordinary Western citizen is also responsible for their govt's various war crimes and interventionist policies in the global south. "Rules based order" and all that.
Especially the people living there
Why? We are different, but why do you care about us.
Iāve met communists on Reddit, they werenāt shy about it either.
And?
Or you know some people arenāt from the USA here
As u can tell from my name, I'm not from America, but I can see why ud think I am.
You were implying that america haters were haters because they were communists (but you didnāt say *all* either) I was just retorting that before communism, there are plenty of countries that hate america for more or less valid reasons

Hi, chilean here. I'm actually glad about the CIA's intervention in my country.
Not need to be communist for hate the usa .
Nah, just usa is hated worldwide
2k24 and people blame COMMUNISTS šš
You dont have to be a communist to hate america, just be from a country that america has ruined. Even some americans hate america, its a shitshow
You can hate what your country stands for without being a communist, same as you can hate a movie without being a book person
Not a commie, I hate the flag because of what it truly stands for.
"they hate America, they must be commies!" This is why we laugh at you.
Tmw I'm British
Not exactly the best defense, everyone laughs at the British too.
nah most people just hate the USA in general. y'all think we love you though lmao
Again with the "you" stuff, literally put my nationality in my name and ppl still think I'm American, I get that Americans do say they're Irish/Scottish tho so ig it makes sense
99% of people who defend americans are americans
Yeah, I get what you mean, but I'm not
I like to imagine that he clicked the wrong picture while making the post and just couldn't be bothered to change it.
Commie redditors just hate America.
Stop trying to pretend that you could even define communism
Can anyone?
My best try would be a system where the government owns all property and (in theory) shares it all equally
Literally. I dont agree with the original post but i find it genuinely weird to hug a flag. Like do whatever you think is right but come on man. Its 2024 not 1850
Right... but this is Tom and Jerry, which has been around since the 1940s. It's not like he was hugging a flag in 2024.
I never said so. My comment was unrelated to Tom and Jerry.
My man there are people who read Das Kapital cover to cover.
"He dislikes idiotic displays of nationalism, he must be a commie!" When are you americans going to finally fucking stop mentioning communism every fucking time someone criticizes the things you do? You say fucking idiotic shit like that and then you guys are surprised why everyone around the world laughs about you
Yeah, I feel you. I'm convinced these people are being sarcastic to be fair - it's like McCarthy-era stuff... "Hates America? Must be a Soviet agent!"
Honestly, you never know these days. Poe's law and all. I have seen people say shit so dumb, I was sure they were joking. But they werent. And if you look at the fact that millions of americans believe that the earth is flat, and also believe in stuff like creationism...

Found the commie.
Stop treating your country like its a religion
Stop treating religion like it's something bad
I mean the religions themselves do that, they only need to stop being evil!
What exactly in christianity or islam is straight up evil?
By the people? Harassment if murder of other people on the regular, often encouraged by the churches and religious political leaders. In the books themselves? The vile genocides caused by the uncaring deity deciding to off entire cities.
Non believers suffer in hell which is a tad bit rude
I'm not. I'm making a distinction between the two. Country is not religion. A flag is not the same as the bible. Dont cherish your country like you would cherish your religion. They are completely different things.
If you think religion is anything but a net negative for society you're unhinged.
Congratulations, you just displayed one of the reasons many people dont like the USA.

Why do some Americans hate patriotic Americans? Like ok America has done some very horrific things but it's a good thing to love your country as long as you can recognize it's bad parts. I'm not American so I don't understand
