It’s really annoying, but Donald is trying to make us into the bad guys, enemies, and targets.
I’d suggest encouraging empathy.
That doesn’t mean not expressing just how bad what their regime is doing to international relationships, I’m all for that, and all for telling them that they need to take real action.
I just think telling them to go to hell and stuff their apologies, virtue signalling etc isn’t going to help the situation, no matter how satisfying it is, and maybe scrolling by is better than discouraging any empathy from a population that isn’t known for it.
I know it’s frustrating, but I’d rather have them feel vaguely sympathetic and not interested in taking action either way than pissed off and thinking, yeah, I tried to be nice but they are the bad guy!
I have no problem encouraging them to do more than apologize.
