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.
[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.

Humans = capitalism ???
No but the comment above makes it sound like capitalism is some external, alien evil that has nothing to do with humans, even though it's just greed

Definitely not a "all criticism of the US is literal soviet propaganda" coping mechanism

Is there a word for when the media is constantly like 3+ years behind with "warnings" like this? I mean Jesus Christ, turning into?
20+ years behind

kinda been that way since 2001
Since a bit earlier or so I've read.

I'm sure German could do a compound of "spät erkennen" or similar for a late realisation.

Here's a 20 year old album about it (it's really cool that my favorite band is called ISIS. It's neat how they broke up in 2010 but I still can only wear the merch at home)
Panopticon is fucking brilliant...hands down my Favorite ISIS album.

That kind of irrational logic will no doubt serve you well. Enjoy your future!

True... Though things have accelerated at an alarming pace over the past few years

The 5 eyes countries are not allowed to spy on their own citizens, but they can freely share data.
Isn't there an obvious loophole here.
It’s almost like it was by design.
They also just spy on their own citizens anyway, because who is going to stop them?

Better that they cover it than not. And the recent ramp up is worth reporting on, it's a new level of weaponization compared to previous administrations.

That sounds like the lazy thinking of a yank. With love from post-Soviet bloc, Canada. Cry us all a river about “bigotry against Americans”

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.

You know nothing about me. You wouldn’t be saying this if you got to know me.

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.
