This is a common circle for people like us to run around in. Yes, there are many individuals who are doing a lot, punching far above their weight class. My point is when I boycott American products, advocate for the US to be punished politically and economically, when I spread the message loud and clear where I am that “America is the enemy”, that necessitates putting YOU in the crosshairs of my actions. Do I love that? No, we’re on the same team. Is that going to stop me? Absolutely not. The best analogy I can think of is sports. I’m gonna hate your hockey team because they’re our rival, they play dirty on the ice, etc. One of your players might feed the hungry and use their money to build orphanages, but that doesn’t change the fact that I’ll be cheering for your team to fail. Maybe there’s nothing else you can possibly do. Truly. Life’s not fair. But you and I both know that the average American citizen is doing basically nothing. That’s the “person” I’m talking to when I post things like this. I can’t individually judge 350 million people, so I have to address your average. Your average sucks.

  • when I spread the message loud and clear where I am that “America is the enemy”, that necessitates putting YOU in the crosshairs of my actions. versus when I spread the message loud and clear where I am that “Iran is the enemy”, that necessitates putting SCHOOLCHILDREN in the crosshairs of my actions. Notice the difference? Me neither.
