The lack of self-awareness and celebratory exclusion of most of humanity from this assertion is deeply concerning.

Is there a reason that you consider people in vietnam, indonesia, the philippines, slovakia, mali, and dozens of other countries that are recent/ongoing victims of the rapacious and ultra-violent "good europeans" or the liberal-imperial US in recent ( < 100 years ago) history to be either:

A) Not part of the world (since you're explaining the GP statement about the world)

B) Or are somehow a self-evidently inferior subspecies for whom you assume it is impossible for people on HN to be friends with?

If you use "all the people in the world" and "a handful of majority-white former or current imperial-colonial powers" interchangeably, I don't see how anyone can assume in good faith that you're not carrying water for a set of very unpleasant european ideas used to rationalize dehumanization.

I don’t believe the person you responded to was talking about people outside Europe, since they specifically mentioned Europe.

Is there a reason you are getting offended on behalf of other people that weren’t mentioned?

Look at the entire thread and notice my comment explicitly referenced the GP comment and the prior dialogue. This can be expressed as a set of logical axioms, and I hope that you are simply bad at reading comprehension.

1. "Everyone on earth hates X now"

2. "Well, not the whole world, that's not a serious claim"

3. "My evidence that it is indeed true that everyone on earth hates X is that a majority of white western europeans hate X, as will all of your non-american friends, all of them."

4. "Equating a majority of white western europeans as evidence of the feelings of all people on earth is implicitly exclusionary and illogical."

5. "I'm going to ignore the original claims being discussed and their context even though there are literally nested comments to show associated thoughts and doing so violates the basics of reading comprehension."

So that should catch you up. Again, I'd like to assume good faith but "pretending top level comments don't exist or inform subsequent comments" indicates some kind of learning disability or lack of socialization.

You're 5 point comment is entirely based on the claim that someone included the entire world for hating the US ( well, Trump)

Which is ridiculous because that's not even what was said.

As we said, go check up on your non American friends to see what the world outside of the US thinks about Trump and his threats.

73% of France doesn't consider US an ally anymore

Canada - Ontario ( most populous province) - ends contract with Starlink and refuses to sell US alcohol ( 1 billion $/ year). I know a lot of Canadians and they are stopping US subscriptions everywhere.

Things are changing fast.

Remember that white european imperial powers + NATO are not the global majority HN challenge [impossible, apparently]

At this point, basic facts no one disputes in other contexts are furiously downvoted when it inconveniences an increasingly authoritarian and racialized europe.

Hello, you seem to have been in a long coma, but welcome back from 1930. The thing about today is that former European imperial powers have ceded their colonies to the people living there.

Ok, 20 day old account, your opinion is important.

> US is getting more and more hate from literally everywhere in a very short time because of Trump.

This is the top level comment in the thread.

We're at the level of psychosis now where you're arguing with and furiously downvoting matters of agreed upon fact that are like... HTML elements.

If you are angrily in denial about which elements are nested, I can also well understand you might believe that western european empires and their successor states are in fact, the only human beings on earth.

I have friends who live in south-east asia and western africa and they cannot understand why I am so tepid to negative about Trump domestically, because everything he is doing is very positive for their countries.

Probably the reason you haven't heard about this is that intelligent people with options will tend to not maintain friendships with people who think of them as part of a lesser race without the right to interests or opinions.
