    I haven’t reacted that way when I’ve seen many such things said about Americans, and even if I think it’s a bit much, I just don’t engage. I especially don’t tell them to fuck themselves since I understand that their distain for Americans almost comes from a human reaction to the death and suffering from the imperialist nature of this state that everyone here benefits from and many Americans have blood thirstily contributed towards, either actively or passively.

    I don’t react that way when I see women wish death or other things upon men for the very active abuse many commit, and many more passively contribute to because I understand it’s not directly targeting me as a singular individual and instead the role a part of my identity plays into their long-lasting and continued oppression.

    So no, I don’t think I’d react that way because I historically haven’t. The worst I would do is try to engage in dialogue or, as I recommended previously and have done myself before, block and move on if it is in some way bad for my mental health.

    So your thinking is fantasies and daydreams.
