Because the billionaires who own those companies operate worldwide.

I love that landlords are so universally hated that things like these are immediately identifiable as satire.

Democratic Socialists of America.

What they actually said:

Is Japan being hostile to foreigners now any more than usual, though?

Not even close, no.

Will no one rid us of this turbulent president?

Not an issue, the vote for him gets saved and added the next time an “election” comes around.

Yeah, but, you know, all those desert-dwellers are the same.

Throw them off Denali.

But far more tangled in international affairs. It will take a lot of economies down with it.

It would be like when the ants in A Bug’s Life realized they outnumbered the grasshoppers 100 to 1 and ran them out, except it would be more like a million to 1.

Turning their backs on us and removing all their business would be helping! Money and military force is all fascists understand, and throwing their citizens’ lives away isn’t an option. Unfortunately, the billionaire cabals that run the world are international, which is why it’s been kid gloves so far.

This is a basic thing that will always exist, countries with terrible governments. All I’m saying is to not judge an entire country by its government. Boycott it, hate the government, all fine. But don’t hate the PEOPLE simply because of where they live. Except the ones that support the government, of course!

The rest of the world rerouting around us a damaged and dangerous state is fine, the correct course of action even. But hating an entire nation of people for their leader is an ignorant response. In meatspace people have to do what the can to protect themselves from malicious governments like ours. Online, I’m an individual, and so are you. What our governments do means fuck all here.

I probably hate our government more than you - it almost certainly affects me more. But bigotry is not okay.
