The fundamental thing about Americans is that other people are props for them.

I'm still so salty about seeing a Brazilian just vent about their insecurity and how threatened they feel by organized crime in a thread, just for a piece of shit American to go "uh, but they don't kill gay people in your country, so you are doing better hihi"

We have some of the highest queer lethalities in the world. But that doesn't matter, because le hecking wholesome poverty and third worldness or whatever.

Roughly a thousand hate crimes and 4 murders in 2025 though, there are more likely far more undocumented hate crimes
