    We are a US puppet state that constantly tanks our economy to please our American overlords. Some people pick up on that, despite the constant right wing propaganda shoveled down our throats.

    Others hate the US because like most Anglo countries, we compare our how hideously incompetent government and cruel, callous society to them. It’s a societal get out of self improvement free card. “We might not be perfect, but at least we aren’t as bad as America!”

      Can that be a thing whenever chuds in politics propose anything remotely fashy? In any non-US Anglo country, just call them ‘Americans’.

      Some TERF is running their mouth in the UK about how trans people are bad? Just exclaim “what are we a bunch of yanks?” instantly destroyed.

        Sadly, it’s usually used in the opposite way, the TERF will go “at least we’re not as bad as the yanks” to justify their own shitty behaviour.
