Americans are not a monolith, and I doubt a lot of people believe these two things. And those that do need to be approached with kindness and understanding if we wish to change their minds.

Why aren’t those Russians stopping Putin? They’ve had like 20 years.

Like just open their user profile, they did the thing within hours of me posting about them doing the thing.

Oof. Aight, it's not a Goomba fallacy this time.

Let's see how USians approach the other side with kindness and understanding:

“Send back their citizens. Especially oligarchs kids.”

“There's no negotiating with russians. Either submit to them or wipe them out. Wake up europe, this is not news”

“Russian federation is dismantled and cut into individual states that should commit to fair democratic elections.”

“6. Russian language stops being the official language in russia, replace it with english 7. Russians are permanently barred from entering any NATO country, even as tourists. The current russians are deported. 8. Russia recognizes the territorial claims of all its neighbors”

"11. Russian astronauts are ejected from the ISS into space."

“Wish we could just put a huge bubble over russia and never have to worry about them again”

“If I have to hear "oh but it's not all Russians" one more time I'm gonna explode. Fuck Russians.”

“They should force all the Russians in Europe to watch this 24/7”

“They should be kicked back to their country.”

“All russians should be expelled from Europe once and for all. Never ever let any russian to come in Europe ever again.”

“The nerves, audacity and the sheer perversion to commend in this kinda threads with "russia" as your country of origin just indicates that neither you or any of your your nation comrades have any remorse of what your country is doing. It's always about you, sociopathic behavior. I rather not let sociophatic killers and perverts enter our union or live, earn and enjoy their live in our democratic societies.”

“Moscow should not continue existing.”

“Any adult still living in Russia approve of the war by staying and not revolting, that's my take. They're all complicit.”

“This is all Russia is and ever was”

“Every Russian is complicit”

“russia can never be part of the civilized world again”

“When was this "before shit" time? Russia was, is and always will be a shithole.”

“A russian being a total scumbag? What a shock”

“He’s also a Russian who if you check Ukraine are notorious for being belligerent sociopathic bullies.”

Americans are not a monolith

Proceeds to act as if America only has one view on Russia

Man you people are really fucking dumb

Just to check, are you also on Reddit arguing with these people that their view is wrong?
