We love the Americans who are putting up a fight against fascism. We see you and hope that more join in.

    What do we want?

    For the rest of the world to stop hating us sooner

    When do we want it?

    Like, you know, as soon as seems reasonable, thanks. But no rush.

      I dont think any american has ever cared how the world thinks about them and i dont think any of us are gonna start any time soon. Americans want healthcare, paid child care, and better wages and unions… literally zero fucks about the opinions of just the white europeans who think theyre the rest of the world

        Yeh it’s quite weird. That nationalism seems to have morphed overtime to some kind of perverse arrogance where they have convinced themselves that badic citizen rights are not what they need, and the rest of the world is the poor cousin who knows nothing.

          I am half filipino, so any time some one says “rest of the world” I really question if they are thinking of the brown people in the philippines and malaysia and indonesia, etc? I have half my family in the philippines, I hear their opinions often. Does the person saying “rest of the world” hear their opinions too? Or does the “rest of the world” mean the opinions of white people in europe.

          My gut reactions when seeing a .world is a westernized white liberal (non leftist sort) is behind the keyboard
