Ya, this doesn't seem to be a thing in my experience.
I've met and talked with tons of #Americans. I don't think I've ever heard one express #animosity to Canada. #Confusion, yes. Mistaken #assumptions, yes. #Cliches and #stereotypes, yes. All the #ignorant #naivete you ever heard: we live in #igloos, we just got #electricity last year, all pets must by law be named #Pierre.
And lots that know #nothing about #Canada, including where it is.
But no #hatred.

Unity wounded by
Animosity's sharp blade
Healing will take time

#Seriously.
Just had an #interaction with someone I've #tooted back at previously at least a few times.
Apparently my light-hearted joke was taken as a potential attack.
Why? #WHY? Why? Why is it that we have #allowed ourselves , and by ourselves I mean almost #EVERYONE on the #internet to #devolve so far into digital "Cabin Fever" that a light-hearted joke is seen as a possible #attack?
When did we decide that being ready for the VERY low fucking percentage of #people who actually wish to do us harm means CREATING MORE #ANIMOSITY by not being open to a simple hello?
Another example of this...
Before #Christmas at an Outlet Mall I was walking with my #family into a #store, and saw a #cute #gay #couple walking to a different store. They crossed in front of us.
One of the couple was wearing some really cute/cool dangle X-Mas #earrings. I may have been staring, but only because the earrings looked cool to me. I could feel them #tense up and "hide" from me looking. As they crossed close enough, I said, "Cool earrings!" to them, loud enough that they could hear it.
They turned around a few seconds later and said, "Thanks!".
Their initial instinct was to #assume I was #staring out of #hatred.
Why?
Yes, there's #precedent, but hiding yourself away from the vast majority of people who will take you as you are, and even #PUSHING them #AWAY only makes it seem worse than it really is.
They WERE cool earrings (and I wanted to see them in more detail!)
There WAS an option missing on that poll (and I was injecting humor regarding that missing option!)
If you push the #good people away, you will only have the #assholes left to deal with, which self-fulfills your view that everyone's out to get you - and we're not.
Fucking stop it.

Ein in Platin gegossener Rock and Roll Song, so gut!
"I've already collapsed
So I'll just drown my sorrows in a nonexistent world
I don't know what is worse
The utter waste of time or the eroding of my mind
Alive means to be dead
A bullet to the head"
