"turning"? 🤣🤣
You Yankees really do live in a bubble.
You know, it’s funny, the only time I read someone referring to Americans as Yankees is when it’s a post-Soviet bloc troll. Such a red flag to me.
Edit: this is the second time on here I’ve experienced uniform bigotry for Americans without knowing my personal story. You are insulting someone who is an ally, whether or not you care. If you are going to win the war on authoritarianism and the future you should do a better job of parsing friend from foe. I am not you enemy and my experience with Yankee rings true in all my travels of the world.
When America sneezes, the world catches a cold. We can fight this together or troll each other into extinction. I find your tone horrendous for a Canadian, one without any proof. More likely a Russian troll.
[David Attenborough voice] Here we see the Yankee attempt to protect their bubble by claiming that anything which contradicts their perceived reality is the result of some dangerous foreigner.
However, while the Yankee does their best to isolate themselves from the perceived dangers outside, they are completely unaware that this paranoia is just one of the symptoms of the parasite that has begun to lodge itself deep within their brain. Without immediate assistance the Yankee will likely develop increasingly fascist tendencies before perishing in a rather gruesome manner as the Yankee colony self destructs.
You joke, but they’re coming for you next. Just watch. Today you’ve lost an ally in fighting what’s going on.

Definitely not a "all criticism of the US is literal soviet propaganda" coping mechanism
They’re coming for you after they ruin what’s left of the US. We either fight together and quit trolling me simply because I’m American or we die divided. The vitriol for me personally is unwarranted.

That kind of irrational logic will no doubt serve you well. Enjoy your future!
You know nothing about me. You wouldn’t be saying this if you got to know me.
