Thinking about the limited-edition coins that were being sold throughout the country to commemorate the killing of Osama bin Laden. Thinking about "We came, we saw, he died!" Thinking about John McCain joking about "Bomb Bomb Iran". Thinking about how easy it is to go on social media like reddit and find Americans gushing at the thought of "glassing" entire countries (guess we stopped wanting to "turn them into parking lots" as people would say about the Middle East in the Bush years). Thinking about the recent wave of violently hateful russophobia in particular, and how it is explicitly allowed on various platforms under exemptions those platforms openly granted.
